Looking for positives

[baseball31ne]

Against the #3 team in the nation at their place with a backup and 3rd team QB
-4 accepted penalties
-0 turnovers, recovered both fumbles
-2 sacks allowed and 2 sacks on defense

it isn’t much and I know the usual crowd will do their thing but small positives are just that

 

[Gooniesneversaydie]

Just embrace the SUCK! Haha

 

[tarheelhusker]

The team didn’t quit, we’re simply not a very good team & the guy responsible ain’t here.

 

[stonesak]

2 more games.

 

[The_Man_Behind_The_Man]

Two more games left. The next two opponents are good teams but not even in the same league as Michigan. GBR!

 

[RedBaloneyPony]

I still like our jerseys

I had to go sing at my church so I missed the 2nd half😏

That’s a good thing.

If Thompson gets healthy we could win out. Doubtful, but possible.

 

[dinglefritz]

That’s a good thing.

Even my pastor cracked a joke during the sermon about the futility of the Huskers this year….

 

[BigRedBugeaters]

Wisconsin look horrible today. If Thompson plays they can beat both Wisconsin and Iowa

 

[Husker Sledge]

Wisconsin possibly. We're not winning in Kinnick.

 

[king_kong_]

the punter has been above avg

 

[baseball31ne]

I could see a 3-2 type score

 

[king_kong_]

FG kicker, too

 

[SickOfPractice]

It wasn't 0-35 at halftime, that the pit of my stomach feared at kickoff. I thought our D held together well considering they got no help from the offense.

What did I miss?

Not to burst your bubble, but do you know they had a 3rd string TE, 2 other started out after 5 min in the game, 2 started on defense out. Sat many others.it could have been 60-3. They openly said they were going to work on their pass game in the first half. But we are real close LOl.

 

[Bugeater]

Defense, as mentioned above, special teams good, offense with a whopping 146 yards.

Pretty sure those Michigan players that left the game were replaced with solid, highly regarded backups.

 

[mgbreis]

I see your 3 positives and I will match with 1 of my own:

- Nebraska will have a new coach soon.

 

[SickOfPractice]

True freshman LB Ernest Hausmann had 10 tackles and a sack.

No bubble to burst, honestly Stating things that were positives of the game. Thanks for your detailed report of the players who didn’t play or play much.

What did I miss?

liberty lost to uconn

 

[LegendaryFrechFry]

Positives? It's almost 1AM and my old friend college football is still going with Hawaii/Utah State.

 

[cubsker]

#15 was about it.
I guess Purdy's play was serviceable, which was a huge improvement over godawful.
#44 had a nice sack.
Our pass coverage was reasonably good too.

 

[HuskAir]

The only thing I can think of is the D didn’t give up the “big play.” That said, Michigan’s YAC running the ball had to have been pretty high.

 

[HominidHusker]

Kudos to Myles Farmer replacements.
Buford stood out as struggling at safety, as typical.

 

[Badger Pete]

Like him or not, Whip showed he is a pretty tough old bugger!

Not going for the 4th & 1 in the first in the 1st quarter down by 7, makes the decision to open the search much easier. Nothing to lose by going for it.

 

[Sinomatic]

liberty lost to uconn

Was it bad?

 

[9and4]

Was it bad?

Even better – it was heartbreaking. Screw Liberty.

Not to burst your bubble but:
NU has an interim head coach and defensive coordinator. They lost their OC during the game to injury. That's not something you even have a contingency for.
Backfield:
Probably our best rb in Allen, definitely our only gamebreaker.
Top two quarterbacks on a team with only one legit qb.
Ervin had a few carries but struggling with injuries all year.
Offensive line.
Our two best offensive lineman and most talented tight end.

On defense it's not a hospital like offense but we had one starter suspended.

With Thompson NU was averaging 27 points per game. Without him we are a nation's worst 8 points per game. Michigan beat an empty shell.
Congratulations!

I will say, at least from a TV view Michigan fans seemed aware of the situation and didn't act like they were winning the superbowl. I don't recall NU ever being a 30+ dog. This was not going to be a very good team regardless but this hard luck story is nearly unmatched.

More excuses for our crappy WR headcoach.

How far are we've fallen.

 

[Walleye79]

More excuses for our crappy WR headcoach.

So hypothetically if Deion is here next year in year 1 and doesn't make a bowl he would be considered a crappy coach and fired right?

The positive is that this disaster of a season will be over soon.

 

[tarheelhusker]

No excuses from me. We have not been a force to be reckoned with since Frost’s 1st year.
This team has not quit on Coach Joseph. I’m not saying he’s the answer, just the Huskers give it their best.

 

[ROMADHUSKER]

it is pretty simple, we cant block, we cant tackle, we cant catch the gd football and we have no spirit. i would almost bet money that these players are on the take.

 

[otismotis08]

First game I didn't watch in several decades. Had family members visiting from out of town. Normally I would have had us all sit down and watch it, even though they are not big college football fans.

Cool! The Reverend as in Reverend Billy Gibbons? Have Mercy! 🤟🤟
