Maybe the most disappointing thing was the play of the defense. Way too many yards and 0 turnovers.
It was like watching the Indiana game all over. A pathetic, flat performance from the get go!
Only thing AD is concerned about is cash flow. That’s his job. The fans spoil the AD department they always buy tickets, make donations, buy merchandise no matter what. Whining about losing won’t matter to him.
Eh we are close to many things just not winning or improving.
Yep, too many 3rd and long conversions given up, and we were the first team this year to give up over 100 yards rushing to them.
This is no longer making me feel any better, because the university completely screws up new coaching opportunities with bad coach after bad coach. Another ten years of no conference championships and we will have the same number of years with zero conference championship wins as the Devaney/ Osborne run. We are pretty much Minnesota right now, but that will be the official crowning at that point.
Minnesota is A LOT better than us
Everyone has their breaking point. Today was mine. Finally fed up with this all talk, no action, do NOTHING program.
Yeah. I get so sick and tired of hearing we are better than all these no-tradition programs that routinely 1) beat us 2) go to bowl games. Winning in this conference is a matter of running the damn ball and forcing the opposition to man up and stop you. Other schools just do that and don't care about looking cute.
Rhule and Foster are complete opposites with respect to speaking ability. That's for sure.
Venables fired his OC mid-season. Why? Because people at other schools demand change when they see a problem. NU actually got better in 2022 when they fired Frost and then the DC. You don't have to ride a losing scheme into the ground. You can actually try something different.
I think it has moved past a possibility, is neck and neck with probable and gaining on a certainty…Game was vomit inducing. No nice way to say it. Maybe I'm just drunk and being even more negative than usual but there's a real possibility we finish 5-7 if we couldn't get it done today. Between this game and spending the afternoon with a bunch of extremely depressed Penn State fans I'm ready to take up alcoholism as a new career path
I think the biggest thing that is wrong with Husker football is the impatience and angst around the program. These kids feel the pressure and it brings out the worst in them, collectively. This team is still 5-4 and seemingly every realistic goal that they should have is still out there. But at this point, it doesn't seem likely. The fans have had 15 years of this crap and lost their patience two coaching staffs back. It's a tough situation and this team is not handling it well.
I reached my breaking point with Satterfield. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why that guy won't use more pre-snap motion. And holy cow, what's wrong with running some bunch sets if you're seeing a lot of man to man and having trouble with pass protection? Bunch up three guys and free up someone across the middle for a short pass. That's almost unstoppable until you make the defense adjust.
I want to believe we can win at USC but the game is at USC and they are a good team no matter the recent string of losses. Wisconsin has gotten better as the year has gone along and they are a solid team. Iowa is just a typical Iowa team. One that we typically lose to. So yeah, I'm debating even whether to watch any of the remaining games.
You are preaching to the choir. He's just a bad OC. Much like Cosgrove was a bad DC. And Frost was a bad HC. I can't stand being frustrated by an anemic offense every week, and the major cause of it is play-calling.
Apparently he knows better than to hire teenagers with no experience as position coaches no matter how much potential he thinks they may have
Most programs have something to hang their hat on. We have no identity.
USC hangs around every game. That is bad news for a team like us.
no shit
That’s *SPECIAL* Officer Doofey, Sid.
If talk were wins, we’d have a few more national championships since 2018, no doubt about it. Frost just sounded dumber when he did it.
Agree with everything you said. At the very least, Satt HAS to go. Should have fired for gross incompetence the moment he said that his goal was between 4 yards 6 yards per play.
The breaking point comes much faster for me with each new staff. With Pelini it took me until Gordon’s 408 yards before I said to myself it’s always going to be this way- get blown out in big games. Indiana was very embarrassing game but hey they just might get into the playoffs. So today was my breaking point as well. Rhule can stop with the press conferences for all I care. Last week he claims he saw a championship mindset. He’s just doing his part to help the athletic department scam the fans. The ADs job is to make sure they keep raking in the $. I don’t believe for 1 second if anyone there cares how well the team does. Tickets all sold, merchandise and concession profits still rolling in.
I remember when I was mocked for wanting to hire temu general Patton but I was right. We would be bowling with this schedule with him as our coach already. He does way more with way less.
I remember a lot of the homer-bully posters mocking those of us calling Matt a bad hire as well. Haven't seen much of em tonight. Weird.
