Hawks defense special teams will score 21-35 points on our offense turnovers. They won’t need any offense to score
Nebraska Makes A Bowl Game?
- Thread starter cavalot
- Start date
If you have to ask that question you do not pay attention to Nebraska football or are related to Frost.
Easy solution though.
1. Blame Frost.
2. Claim we are a developmental program.
3. MIchigan cheated
4. Injuries.
5. We never expected any success this year anyway.
Rhule in year one versus Frost in year 5? Lol. Yeah same deal. Not
I've never rebuilt a football team. But why secure 5 wins to just pretend like that magical 6th win isn't the big deal that it is?
Hopefully Rhule does whatever it takes these next two games to win. Otherwise criticism that wouldn't have been valid with a 3-4 win team becomes valid unfortunately for Rhule and staff.
Seems clear we at least need a REAL QB coach. However that can be done, it NEEDS to be done
Maybe... I don't know who is coaching it currently. Satterfield I believe...However what's the saying? You can't make chicken salad out of chicken??????
Huskers last win in Madison was 1966 but that won’t matter Saturday night. Wisconsin is reeling.
Northwestern QB exploited the Badger D with his arm. Ordinarily I would say go with your strength and run the damn ball but to win, Huskers need to have success passing.

Never defended Frost simply stated that if the teams does in fact go 5-7 this staff has achieved similar results to the previous two.
sure would be nice to flip the script and watch them try and finesse the ball down the field while we shove it up their ass
I see similar red flags in Rhule as I did Frost, which is keeping your buddies who can’t pull their weight on staff. It’s already been talked ad nauseam about Satterfield’s previous stops and the fact he has a 24 year old intern as WR coach.
That whole year whatever thing is ridiculous. We had to hear how much damage Riley did to the program, now we have to hear about how much Frost did? Give me a break.
In one season left with a shit show to deal with and at least 12 to 14 starters either out or missing significant time.
Actually, a pretty good job and much superior to the previous staff.
If we don't beat Wisconsin you might as well pack up your crap and head for the exits. Like Nebraska is going to perform in a must-win game? I'll believe it when I see it, and even then I might need someone to resuscitate me from a simultaneous stroke/seizure/heart attack.
Rhule tried to hire Peetz. It will be interesting to see if they retain Martin as TE coach. IF they don’t that would open the door to let Satt coach the TEs and hire a full time QB coach. IF not, we need to hire a GA who has been there and done that who can work with the QBs. The right GA could help.
It's YEAR ONE in a total rebuild. So yes, he's light years ahead of Frost.
Yes. I like the direction that Rhule has us on. With a competent QB we are probably 7-3, 8-2 right now. This is Year 1. We expected a program rebuild. Now, we just have to be patient.
Really just need our QBs to take care of the ball and we would be at 7-8 wins right now. Very frustrating.
Didn't seem to matter who they put in last Saturday. Even Purdy got in on the action.
He’s been out coached a few times this year. He was Handed the easiest schedule in my lifetime and we may not go bowling… guess I don’t see how we are light years better but please pass the hopium bong
Who's going to throw it? Better question...Who's going to catch it? WE SUCK BADLY ON OFFENSE.
Anything can happen, but the odds are against NU going bowling this season—we finish a disappointing 5-7 and lick our wounds. The coaching, talent, and play on the offensive side of the ball has been abysmal and will need major repairs if Rhule wants to have any long-term future at Nebraska. Ironically, on the other side of the ball, the defense has overachieved and is an example of rapid player development—a testament to their coaching. Tony White is now a hot commodity and it will be a challenge for Trev Alberts to keep him in Lincoln. I’m hopeful and optimistic for 2024, that Rhule can turn things around offensively and be in the bowl picture next season. If our record is below .500 next season……well let’s not even go there yet. Just get it done, Matt. GBR.
If we achieve our 6th win vs Iowa do we storm the field?
we've played 1 offense that currently ranks in the top 50 nationally
they scored 45 points against us
we've played more offenses that rank outside the national top 110 (out of 130) than inside the top 70
our defense has performed as expected given the extreme lack of offensive firepower it's faced
our transition to a B1G West team (and fanbase) appears to now be complete
10 games is a pretty good sample.
most achieved similar yardage totals to their average against us. some more, some less.
we held maryland, for example, 15 yards short of their average. CU gained 75 more yards against us than they do on average. illinois gained 85 yards less than average.
Maybe a better metric is average points score Since the scoreboard is all that really matters anyway.
much more variance in that metric. La Tech, for example, scored 51 points against an FCS school. more than 3 TDs higher than their average on only 80 yards more than they average
which is why total offense is a more accurate measure of output
statistics 101
I voted I have no fricking idea and I would guess if most were honest with themselves they would have also voted this way. I understand the glass half full vs half empty crowd but does anyone really know a 100% one way or another what the outcome will be at the conclusion of the season. My reasoning goes like this, we have a defense that can win games but an offense that can't mirror the defense and keeps shooting it's self in the foot. I'm still waiting for our team to put it all together but can or will they, I have no fricking idea.

What does total offense have to do with anything if you're holding the team you're playing to under their season scoring average? You lose that game because your offense stinks.
Has the defense not held the majority of their opponents to under their scoring average? They habe more than done their part this season.
Are there really people trying to make the case that Tony White and his defense haven't been impressive this year? When you consider the lack of help they get from the offense the defense has been plenty impressive.
I predicted during the summer we'd have a top 5 defense in the B1G simply by looking at the quarterbacks on our schedule (we're currently 5th in ppg allowed and 6th in total defense)
they've played to expectations. which is a vast improvement over what we're used to, but still far from a nationally elite unit.
that's no slight to White, who has delivered exactly what has been expected of him. not many others in the athletic dept can say that.
we need to get back to employing folks who can do their jobs.
