how is the offensive line responsible for the 96th overall rushing offense?
is that a serious question or are you fvcking with me?

Because for teams with an actual good OL coach running the football =/= never scoring
What do you think Donnie’s resume consists of?
He’s had exactly 1 big boy job in his life and it’s this one
We outscored WI in the 3rd AND 4th quarter to stretch the 14 point halftime lead.
Imposing their will speaks to a run game. Did any team impose their will against us this season? We’re all of their OL coaches bad?
“imposing your will” hasn’t happened since the 90s for us. And it doesn’t happen in college football much
Im not sure what you’re expecting but our yards per carry went up significantly vs the previous year and sacks went DOWN. I think Raiola is doing just fine.
You don’t think his NFL experience and current performance is better than Satterfields body of work?
If there is a clear reason our offense wasn’t good over the last few years it seems like a no brainer to point to the guy who has constantly underachieved vs the guy (Raiola) who has done pretty well and has a stronger background.
The argument wasn’t if Raiola had his mentors long and distinguished resume - it was that his resume was far better than Satterfields.
And it is.
Right because the offensive system, play calling, the amazing perimeter blocking the receivers did was all on Raiola. Forgot. My bad.
I've always been careful to say three years with his recruits should show improvement on the line, It has. now we can have a discussion whether it's enough but there was improvement. This season will tell the tale. If the line doesn't show significant improvement Donovan might consider updating his resume.
Thanks for this.
2023 NU Oline PFF:
- Henry Lutovsky: 49.6
- Justin Evans: 61.3
- Teddy Prochazka: 66.9
- Ben Scott: 63.8
- Tyler Knaak: 66.1
- Nouredin Nouili: 62.8
- Ethan Piper: 63.6
Sorry, musta fallen off in the cut and paste.....
Bryce Benhart holding the highest rating on the unit at 70.3
Illinois out-rushed us 4:1.
Indiana out-rushed us 3:1.
USC/UCLA both outrushed us.
Iowa hung out in the backfield whenever they felt like marching thru the turnstile that is our OL.
We averaged 3.7 ypc. That isn’t even top 10 in the conference. It’s worse than Purdue, ffs
You are full of stupid takes, feel free to keep going.
Right, the OL coach has nothing to do with the offensive system.
Wait, what’s this?
Can you confirm Raiola’s additions made the cut? Since it says right there he’s narrowing it down. Can you confirm every single rushing play called the last 2 years were all only Raiola’s plays? So that way we know it’s nobody else’s fault but Raiola. Can you confirm that Raiola is the only person who calls the plays while we’re at it? Can you also confirm for us he is the only one who teaches wide receivers how to block? Donnie Raiola is the SOLE reason this team sucks on offense, we get it you hate that man, but I need some more evidence that this is only his fault and not even a smidge belonging to the career poverty HC/OC named Marcus Satterfield or the middle school JV coach with 3 hairs in his armpit coaching the receivers.
I guess Nebraska being 46th in the nation last year in yards per attempt rushing wasn’t good enough for you. 65% percentile in the nation (above average) and 4th in the Big Ten.

I gotta assume that most girls don’t go into a relationship thinking they are gonna be the butt-slut girl.
But you know what, sometimes that dude has a lot of things going for him, and can set her up, and makes a lot of $$, and she does whatever she has to do.
Rhule is stuck with Raiola as OL coach.

So four teams out rushed us? Yay
And Iowa game didn’t look like a turnstile line. To use your terminology we had 3x the rushing yards as them. Sheesh

Orrrrrrrrr maybe it was Satterfield like I said.
When Holgerson came into the mix against USC, we jumped from 3.4 YPC to 3.7 YPC by end of season.
Yeah, that’s right.
Under Satterfield we averaged 3.4 YPC
Under Holgerson we averaged 4.2 YPC
Not to mention our PPG jumped by a full TD.
Literally changed ONE variable and showed dramatic improvement in the run game. Under an OC that’s known as a passing guru.
4.2 for the season would have put us a spot ahead of Michigan at 72nd. Right above Rutgers and Indiana. Also above Minnesota, Purdue (who averaged 3.6 so not sure what you’re talking about), UCLA and Northwestern.
It was Satterfield. As I said.
I’m not claiming Raiola is the best I’ve ever seen. But I’ve seen a few things.
1. He can recruit
2. He has improved our line IMO
3. I want to see what he can do with Satterfield gone.
Plus he gets bonus points for saying whatever he said to Fickell and crew that made the cop sprint over to him. Extra points for that.

Yes, 4 teams that kicked our teeth in. Glad losing makes you excited.
Since you love giving homework, why don't you tell me who had more sacks in the Iowa game.
So now you've pivoted to "Holgorsen is good enough to overcome our shitty OL coach"
Hope you're right, but given your track record I won't hold my breath.
Last year, as in the 2023-2024 season. Not the current season we just wrapped up 2 weeks ago. Semantics.You linked to the 2023 season. We were 99th last year.

Nonetheless, the piss poor shitty offense falls more on someone else than it does Dominic Raiola, but you’ve found your scapegoat.
So going from 46th to 99th in YPC was your evidence that Raiola is improving the OL?
What a line of thinking.
Surely our QB being our best rusher in 2023 couldn't have anything to do with it.
Never said that, but you want to blame the entire failures of the offense on the offensive line coach, which is absolutely retarded logic. ESPECIALLY when the offensive coordinator has never had an offense in the 50th percentile or better in his life. But like I said, you found your scapegoat. What a line of thinking.
He’s not blaming the entire failure of the offense on our nepo OL coach
He’s acknowledging that Rhule’s handpicked OC was also a disgrace
Fact remains nobody has gotten better playing for Uncle Don, he has yet to produce even a 3rd team all-conference player and our OL can’t get a push when we need it most
We can’t score in the redzone - which causes us to lose games - in part because our longest tenured assistant’s unit sucks.
How many OL have we hosted this portal season? All but the multiple time criminal said “no thanks” to playing for Raiola.
He would be in D3 or on his couch if he had a different last name.
hmmm when anyone tries to blame Satterfield, both of you have gone on to shift the blame to Raiola. And it was reported why they chose other schools. National championship aspirations (Oregon commit), play for their coaches (Washington st kid who went to WF. But yeah that’s all Raiola’s fault. Like I said, Y’all have your scapegoat and you’re not gonna change your mind. I’m not here to change it. I’m just here reminding you y’all are incorrect. Not saying he’s perfect. But he’s not the trash bag you keep making him out to be.
Don’t waste you time with King monkey and the other idiot. You will never win they move the goalposts as needed to win an argument.
1. No where did I say I was happy losing games. You’re literally inferring things I never said. The discussion point was if Raiola was the issue and I said it was Satterfield
2. I didn’t pivot to saying Holgersen is good enough to overcome our shitty OL coach. I think Raiola has shown promise. But whatever stage he was at was being hampered by a historically awful OC in Satterfield.
3. Who cares who had more sacks in the Iowa game? What does that have to do with a Satterfield vs Raiola debate?
Seriously man. You’re not good at debating.
Your stances are not backed up with well identified stats.
You make false claims that I never stated on positions I haven’t taken.
You then bring up random stats (sacks vs Iowa) that have very little relevance to the topic. One game doesn’t show much.
I’m not blaming it entirely on him. Satterfield, Thomas and McGuire sucked too.
As you hilariously proved, our YPC went down significantly from 2023-2024.
You’d have us believe the OL coach has nothing to do with the run game, which is beyond retarded.
unless I missed it, I don't think so
he's visiting Pitt and another ACC school this weekend
Bill, all due respect, but you're the guy who said on this forum getting outscored in the 2nd half and specifically the 4th quarter is no big deal.
Again, never said Raiola has no fault in this but he is the only one you continuously attack. You’re acting and speaking that the only person who impacts the run game is the OL coach, and that is an insult to people with actual mental retardations.
no, we're not.
the fact we're still going to be starting a Frost recruit (Corcoran) after Donnie has been here for 4 years is frankly dumbfounding.
@PeliniTheCrutch has forgotten more about football than I'll probably ever know. I'll take his word for it over some blind clueless fanboy (you).
Uncle Donnie sucks. we both need & deserve better.
Retard.
Both can be bad at the same time.
What do sacks have to do with a discussion on the OL coach? You don’t even know what you’re debating.
Projection, you’re getting crushed.
You rejecting/being too dumb to understand the stats is a personal problem. Sort yourself out.
Doubling down that sacks have nothing to do with the OL coach? 🤡
I’ve been as critical of Satterfield, Thomas, and McGuire as anyone on this board. Feel free to use the search function to verify, cuz my takes age well on the matter.
Sorry you felt insulted
So if you’ve been critical of them, you’d realize that all this crap you keep blaming on Raiola isn’t all on Raiola. But keep on with your scapegoat banter.
