Yeah I see that. They have hate in their hearts and that’s a them problem. And can’t stand to ever be wrong. Very common of beta male DNA.
Most Improved OL's

The topic is “most improved OL”
Yes, I’m blaming the OL coach for our poor OL play. No, that’s not controversial
Great - so you cherry picked one stat from one game. Iowa had more sacks. Great.
All while you completely ignore that Neb had more rushing and passing yards in the game. By a mile.
Seriously man. You’re not good at this stuff.
Poor OL play, sure. But he you both have gone to give him blame for the red zone, bad rushing, bad offense when there is way more than just an OL coach that goes into that. But anytime it gets brought up it’s “but Donnie, Donnie.” Many things are true at once, you want to deflect from the other truths.
What can you possibly hang your hat on as an enthusiastic uncle Donnie proponent?
What’s your argument that he’s good?
Statistically & developmentally he has produced jack shit despite boasting the longest tenure of any assistant we have
I'm starting to think his last name is Raiola too. Maybe he's one of the other many nepo hires with that name in our program.
This is what it sounds like after being intellectually dominated by me.
No bigger dipshit on this board than you. Congrats.
Some people just glom on to folks and I don’t get it.
We all should want the best for NU football at every position. Uncle Don sure as shit ain’t that and never will be.
Usually not great when recruits schedule more visits after meeting with their position coachOh crap - I’ve been doing the happy dance for a few days now.
And thanks to uncle don’s “recruiting prowess” we are in dire need for OL at every position
Ah, so we dominated them for the most part, but lost because of a couple key plays?
Love that you have to keep telling yourself this. Definitely not insecure over getting your shit pushed in 😆
You weren’t paying attention apparently. We absolutely dominated Iowa and lost on a couple key plays.
Seriously. Did you not watch the game?
Let’s be clear. Your ability to debate a topic couldn’t push through piss-wet toilet paper.
> we lost because of a couple key plays
> no you can’t say we lost because of that play that led to the game winning score
Can’t even keep your own argument straight, you silly bitch 😆
I know why you love considering yourself an expert at debate, you probably get stuck doing it in the mirror
Backs away from the LOS, chasing after defenders getting ready to crush the QB.
Brainlets like @HUSKERBILL have no problem with losing games like this.
Do you know the difference between “a couple” and and “one”?
You can lose the game on a couple plays. Usually in football it’s a game of inches as they say. And it isn’t one play that usually causes a loss. But a couple can.
You seem to have a hard time with processing details in a conversation.
I got paid to play football. Played for years. Now I coach. Been doing that for years. Had a dad with an NFL contract. Have a cousin that just led the NFL in a statistical category this season.
You probably played video games. I’d bet on it.
I'm glad we shit-canned the Special Teams coach who also played a part.
You could say we have "a couple" coaches that suck.
Didn't ask, don't care, don't believe, but definitely cringed.
HM? Really. Sorry I don’t look past the 3rd team.
Maybe you can find some academic all-americas to add
That’s fine, you can move the goal posts because it doesn’t fit your narrative. But nonetheless, they were still HM All-Conference players.
Which, by its very definition, means they were not all-conference players.
If the media AND the coaches find the need to list honorable mention players as all-conference, then that outweighs your opinion that they aren’t.
Well just put this in perspective. What would a 2nd team all conference big 8 player be today in the b1g? 8 teams vs 18 teams.
It’s not.
Too many variables involved to point to second half differentials with an “a ha!!”
For example - if teams are ahead by 3 TDs or more in the fourth, they will put their backups in. And the winning team always puts them in before the losing team does.
Losing team will keep their starters in to try to end with some positive momentum before they eventually put their in (usually after a score or an extended drive)
The winning team concedes points for the sake of developing their backups.
That’s just how it goes. So second half points can sometimes be misleading.
It’s one reason why our conference for our varsity football program uses only “first half points allowed” as a tie breaker for state playoff berth seedings coming out of our conf.
It’s because second half scoring differentials are fickle numbers.
Hope that helps explain my stance if I said that.
Yeah, it’s positive news and I’m not trying to spin it otherwise. But from what I can tell this is only based on sack rate. Don’t think it accounts for hurries and/or anything in the run game.
You could, in theory, have a good QB who evades pressure and avoids sacks. And also have a terrible O-line. You can’t run the ball and your QB scrambles around a lot and throws a lot of incomplete passes but… hey, look at that fantastic sack rate!
This will absolutely huge if DR can figure how and when to scramble. He doesn’t need to go for 40 yds or anything, just know where the line is and move the sticks. And he only needs to run the ball 3-6 times a game if he knows when to do it and is decisive in doing so.
Especially in college when you’re down as soon as you touch the turf. Refs will still call late hits if they just jump on you after you’re down and they’ll still call targeting when warranted. (I mean, in theory)
He needs to learn both. Both are essential to being a great QB. He needs to be able read defenses pre-snap and know where and when the quick slant or out route is there and get the ball out quick. He also needs to get better at picking up the hidden yards with his legs. It absolutely kills and demoralizes defenses when they keep getting you to 3rd and 7 or 3rd and 5 and the QB picks up the 1st with his legs. DR needs to be good at both those things if he wants to be elite.
I mean, one could look at it that way and the logic is pretty sound. But it really doesn’t account for the fact that our NFL caliber starting QB is also his(Donnie’s) nephew. If there wasn’t strong connection between our best player and our O-line coach your logic would be a lot harder to poke wholes. JMO
Maybe still second team. Maybe nothing at all. In 1987 Jake Young, Keven Lightner, and Bob Sledge were 2nd team all B1G 8 and Nebraska finished 6th in the polls, higher then any current B1G school so their second team status probably would have stayed second team. Especially Jake
But we can talk hypotheticals all day long to aid to your straw-man argument but we won’t get anywhere. Let’s talk about today, shall we?
3 seasons and 3 offensives ranked 100 or worse, No guys drafted thus far. No guys in all BIG teams (1-3 teams).
Like I said, gut can recruit. But not coach

Are you too dumb to realize what @PeliniTheCrutch stated?
Anyways some people believe in participation trophies. Some don’t. I don’t. Wikipedia apparently doesn’t on this topic because they don’t show HM guys. But some guys hang those participation trophies high
Go brag to OSU, Michigan, PSU, and USC and just about everyone else in the conference about a big bad “HM” BIG we had. See how fast you get laughed at. Sort of makes you look like a wimp. Even Iowa guys would rightfully laugh at you.

Well, he is the only one left. Satt’s been demoted and Skippy predictably went back home with dad. I totally agree with you that our OC is/was the biggest problem. He’s a career loser and nobody below him has chance when you have an incapable leader. That being said, none of that is evidence that Donnie is a great O-line coach. I’m hoping he gets there and there have been signs of improvement. But he’s still has a ton of work to do to make this o-line dominant. Let’s hope he makes that jump cause we’re stuck with him for the next 1-2 years…
Sure, let’s not celebrate and acknowledge the VERY FEW people who even get HM all conference selections from our terrible offense, let alone the team of overall. Sounds like you’d rather us have no HM at all. Makes a lot of sense. I’m not here toting them to be 1st round picks, but the negative pricks like you want to discredit ANYTHING remotely positive. So really, I’d say it’s you that’s a wimp and I’m laughing at you.
And yet he was still chosen 🤷🏻 don’t ask me how because I wouldn’t have picked him myself, but nonetheless they chose him not once, BUT TWICE, to the HM All-Conference team.
Very honorable, Benhart!
Celebrating 4th place, what a winning attitude.
When your son tells you he was some gals 4th choice to go to prom with, I’m sure it will be a family celebration.
