last time we won 3 in a row was also the last time we had a 5-1 stretch AND the last time we beat an out of conference P5 opponent:

Purdue is 2-5 with wins over V-Tech and Illini. I realize we have injuries, but I think we continue to roll. I don’t think until we play Wiscy and Maryland will our shortcomings become too much to overcome.
With our offense no game is a gimme, but with our defense I'm confident we can hold down the bad teams.
Nebraska 17 Purdue 7
Nebraska 17 Purdue 7
we have a huge advantage at the head coach position
this is the first bye week their coach has ever had to navigate and they're coming off a 2 game stretch that saw them get outscored 61-21
they've allowed 30+ in 4 of 7 games this year
Their defensive woes do not matter. Our offense is at Iowa levels of ineffectiveness. Any defense with a pulse can slow us down enough until we shoot ourselves in the foot with penalties and turnovers. All I am hoping for is for our offense to not turn it over and to take advantage of whatever scoring opportunities our defense can hand them. We will be lucky to score 17-21 points in this game. And if we do we should win.
Running QB's killed Purdue early on. Nebraska will out athlete Purdue imo, which is going to make it even tougher. I've got Nebraska I think? For this reason. But idk what to expect. Other than bad football.
you should talk to somebody about your PTSD from frost's tenure
we don't shoot ourselves in the foot anymore
and iowa scored 20 on purdue
D come up big again. Weather hurts PU’s chances to score. We win 17-10. Rhule is carried off the field and they name him coach for eternity.
But I’ll take a 3-2 win as well. 😊

I don't give a shit. No need to DM.
Then don't respond to me if you don't give a shit. You've wasted your time giving a shit about something "you don't give a shit."
Yes we do.. First 2 positions last week.. Do you have short term memory..
You never STFU do you. Don't worry about it. You're on ignore now and I don't have to see you shit.
Nothing to do with Frost. It has to do with watching our offense this year. A mediocre offensive line at best, now riddled with injuries, our running back and wide receiving corps riddled with injuries, and not a QB on the roster that is worth a shit. I don't care what you say about your guy Haarberg. He has had a moment here and there but overall he is a third rate QB who played like total garbage against NW. Thank God for our defense, because Haarberg sucked.
Yes, Iowa scored 20, which is why I said we need to score 17-21. But we will be lucky to reach that score if we play against Purdue like our offense did against NW.
this:
happened under frost. it has not happened under Rhule with Haarberg at QB to the extent it's cost us games.
PU fans are shocked that there are threads on PU
They are low key the fan base that gets under my skin the most and every time we lose to them I am embarrassed. I can deal with fan bases who are actually decent or who have been decent, but these guys.... Probably have bias because most of the guys we have hired from Purdue are whiny babies that are lazy. Might make good designers, but they suck are actually building things.
Penalties are down. Turnovers are not. And the only reason our turnovers have not doomed us as in the past is because we have a much better defense. But even that has limits as the CU and Minnesota games showed us. We were lucky last week because NW is awful on offense. Had we played a team with a good offense we may damn well have been behind 14-0 halfway through the first quarter. Our defense is vastly improved, but it is not invincible. No defense is. Teams have talent on offense and sometimes they make great plays no matter how good the defense is. Just like that great catch by the Minnesota guy on 4th down for a TD. At some point our offensive mistakes will catch up to us.
We are living in a bit of an optimism bubble right now because 4 of our last five games have been against lousy teams. And we have two more lousy teams coming up. And we need to beat those two teams to get bowl eligible. Because our last three games are toss ups at best.
Our offense needs to show up and that means no damn turnovers. And that means moving the chains with some consistency and giving our defense a rest. Purdue stinks, but they have P5 athletes and they will beat our ass if our offense lays an egg.
Haarberg has been a definite upgrade for Nebraska.
all we play are lousy teams. we are only -2 in turnover margin over the last 5 games.
optimism bubble? LOL
all I see here is doom & gloom with regards to our offense and specifically our QB
while you and everyone else wait for the other shoe to drop, I'll continue to enjoy our fun team run toward 6, 7, 8 wins
Good news for you is I'm the furthest thing from lazy and I don't build things for a loving. Well, not buildings or engineering things. I guess, in a way, everyone is building something. Including themselves. That grind never stops.
You're damn good at building false hope.
