Totally outmatched against a team that has a good chance to play for the National Title. Didn’t even watch it as it was a guaranteed loss and was going to be a blowout. Outrage over this game is silly, big thing was to not get anyone hurt and move on to the next game and try to get three more wins for a bowl... move on...
Meaningless Game
- Thread starter Iroh
- Start date
Pretty much what I'm feeling as well. OSU is a playoff team and could be in the national title game. We aren't in their field.
I don't think "meaningless" is a good word, but after-the-fact, blowing it out of proportion doesn't do much good either. It's an ugly loss to a playoff contender. Hell, last year's playoff games were blowouts, nobody's immune to the 30+ point ass-whooping.
There is no circumstance where being made to look like a high school team doesn't hurt
Not enjoyable, but in the grand scheme it doesn’t alter the season unless the team allows it to.
We should all be concerned that Ohio State - whether they are a national title contender or not - made us look worse than an FCS team.
What other B!G team will Ohio State lead 38-0 at home?

I'm obviously disappointed with how far we are from even being a top 25 team much less a playoff contender. But it's exactly what I expected would happen. I predicted this would be a 48-14 game and we lost 48-7. The truth of the matter is that we are not the team the hype machine made us out to be this summer. This team can win 3 more games and get us to 6 wins and a bowl game. That's the goal.
Indiana, NW, Michigan, Rutgers, Maryland, Illinois, Purdue all could easily be in the same spot... that you s about where our program is right now.. the ceiling is pretty high for Frost but it will take time..
You didn't even watch the game because you knew it was going to be a blowout? You can't possibly be a Husker fan if that is the case. Which fan base are you trolling from?
Mac Brown almost beat the defending national champion today. I think Clemson has equal talent to OSU. I agree we need to move on but come on........Nebraska shouldn't be getting throttled like that in a night game at Memorial Stadium. We have plenty enough dudes to make it at least competitive. These primetime beatdowns need to stop!
What happens if Ohio state loses 2 games this year? Should I be outraged after the fact?
This guy is a troll, don't worry about what he says. He claims he didn't watch the game because he knew there was going to be a beatdown. Even if the Huskers were playing the New England Patriots, I would watch. This is just another troll starting a thread to get attention.
Great, Mack Brown got his first head coaching job 36 years ago, and also still lost the game. That has little or no bearing on Ohio State/Nebraska.
Clemson played nothing like Ohio State tonight... having talent is one thing, talent playing with passion, purpose and discipline is completely another. Clemson would have been slaughtered tonight by OSU, home or away
Good news is - we won't have to face them in the championship game.
Just like out of conference Colorado, then NW, then Minnesota, then Wisconsin....
Look........my point is there really is no excuse to continually get blown out of the water in games like this. Yes, Ohio St is extremely talented. Yes, we have a young team offensively. Having said that, we have plenty enough talent to be competitive in that atmosphere. At some point we have to quit shitting the bed in primetime games. I'm a huge Frost guy. I think there are much better times ahead. Let's face it though, losing by 40 at home in these spotlight games is getting old. It's embarrassing for a program of this stature. Just a tired, old fan venting his frustration. I'll be alright in a few days!
On the surface this game looks bad, but I think it will ultimately give this team a very tanglible understanding of what it takes to be a champion and with that, I think next week Nebraska will look vastly improved.
Everyone except some delusional corn people like yourself knew it wasn’t going to be close. Watch your offensive and defensive lines they are terrible.
Truth hurts !
They acquired one of the nation's best qb's and brought in two defensive co-cordinators that changed to zone. And we're having a huge problem hitting the players in the holes.
While it wasn't at home, remember when Wisconsin stepped on a big stage against Ohio State when they had a point to prove in 2014? the final score was 59-0... that Wisconsin wasn't terrible, they were actually pretty good (ended the year ranked #13), but elite teams will make good teams look bad especially when they are playing with a chip on their shoulder. Ohio State didn't take us lightly, and didn't play like it was just another game. They wanted to prove a point.
Game film on AM. I do not think he is the player people make him out to be... Every opponent knows his weakness and he has no answer.
Yes. Ever since this hire was made the goal has been clear. 6 wins by year 2!
I understand having a bad game but this is happening way too often when the spotlight is on us. Hard to build a program when we keep getting obliterated over and over again in primetime games. I'm done whining about this one now. Onward and upward
Thats where we are pal. We have a crap OL, QB, WRs, and LBs. And our DL, RBs, and Dbs arent much better.
So said another way, Nebraska is on par with Indiana. Nebraska is on par with Indiana. If we're lucky.
BTW, Indiana gave OSU a better game than Nebraska did. Indiana never trailed 48-0 in their game.
At some point we need to stop calling games meaningless.
Ohio could've won 80 to 0 if they wanted.
We looked worse than any team they've played this season. At home. At night.
No one was expecting victory but this was not ok.

Now that we can’t change what happened yesterday, what is concerning me is ruining the recruiting weekend. We had a lot riding on it considering our small class size and number of recruits in town. It was sort of a worst case scenario there, and that impact may be potentially felt for years.
We all saw the talent deficit, so if we can’t start building up our roster piece by piece, the future is bleak.

Where’s the talent? Who on our roster even earns a scholarship at Ohio? Adrian and who else?
Our best receivers are 5’9”, best running back weighs 160lbs soaking wet. We don’t have any players even close to what Ohio trots out, and it shows during draft time.
We do not have plenty of dudes to keep up with a defense like Ohio State. They have 4 NFL quality defensive backs and e-4 D linemen, not to mention line backers who are as fast as several of our backs. If you actually thought we could keep this game competitive with 3 interceptions early you née help. We have two more years to up our talent level before coming close to the upper echelon of teams. Just be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day- or two years!
Great teams have a way of making good teams look bad. We did in the 80s and 90s.
The team was below average to average last year and is now average to good. Hopefully we're good to great next year. I know people are looking for improvement but it needs to be based on the whole season, not just single games. Hopefully in the future games with OSU will be more competitive but now is obviously not the time. It's already in the rearview mirror, on to next game.
Let's beat NW
