Oline analysis

and I believe he's treating don as the lowest performing member on a staff where he's already the odd man out

It seems the lowest performing staff member took over Satt's sideline duties when MS went up in the box. I'm glad Rhule took a chance on him (/sarcasm off).

It was probably the lost thrilling part of your morning.

it's okay, john boy. we'll see if your guy donald gets to keep coaching here soon enough.

High praise for Donnie and his group from Rhule this morning. Tough day for Kong.

Do you suggest we stop feeding?

 

[king_kong_]

Feeding the board with your bullshit? Nah, most of us find you amusing. Keep it coming.

Just an accident, not that tough of a look. Also, retracted. My apologies to @inWV

No, I think the way he talks in circles is pretty funny.

hey, look who I found!

I will be genuinely surprised if Rhule fires Raiola after this year. Especially given that we are starting to win now. If we had won 1 game, maybe I could see it. Would just be strange to hire a young, inexperienced coach and only give him a year.

not if he was retained to recruit his #1 QB nephew

 

[beaglehusker]

prior to Saturday, we were averaging about half a yard more per non-QB carry than last year over a full season

of course we've yet to play most of the best defenses on the schedule

I will update this number shortly

Why would you not include QB carries.

 

[Huskers123456]

not if he was retained to recruit his #1 QB nephew

I think the nephew was a bonus. Beating OU for Brix would definitely be a feather in Raiola's cap.

 

[king_kong_]

Why would you not include QB carries.

because QB carries provide the offense with an extra blocker

 

[beaglehusker]

because QB carries provide the offense with an extra blocker

On those long option runs HH has had where he kept the ball, who is the extra blocker. Guess I'm not following this line of thinking.

 

[61bigredfan]

now you have to be a senior to have experience?

benhart has started what, two dozen games for us? more? guy got ragdolled for 60 mins.

scott has started what, two dozen games in his career? can't snap the ball when the D jumps offsides which would've saved a turnover and a defensive TD?

lot of mental gymnastics on display

It’s not everyone else that is doing mental gymnastics. I’m prepared to accept that Rhule trusts Raiola. I am prepared to accept that our rushing stats are pretty good, And that the offensive line should get some credit for that. I am prepared to accept that the younger players who only had Raiola as a coach are getting better and better.

What do you have against Raiola anyway? That he couldn’t get his nephew to turn down the number one team in the country and go to Nebraska when we hadn’t gone to a bowl game in six years? Where we had just lost our best receiver to the NFL? Where our protection last year was so spotty that two of our quarterbacks ended up getting surgery after the season?

 

[king_kong_]

What do you have against Raiola anyway?

two things:

1. had never recruited a day in his life prior to coming to NU
2. had never run an OL room a day in his life prior to coming to NU

maybe I'm wrong. maybe I'm not.

won't impact my passion for Nebraska Football one way or the other.

 

[TruHusker]

I get it.

our quarterback, who's played 6 career games, is expected to be perfect in all facets, mental and physical.

Who used the word perfect to describe him? Not me.

I am also the same guy who pointed out Sims terrible foot work and mechanics before the season. I know reality sucks for you but you might have to go with it eventually. Your superman boy savior isn't perfect. None of us are except you of course.
