Raiola will transfer at the end of the year
- Thread starter AzRed8
- Start date
What's the 1st. because this loss is by far the worst I have ever seen and I have been watching Husker football since 1969-1970. Maybe some OU game before that but that was before we actually were very good.
By the way, NU was VERY good from 1962 through 1966. They played in the Cotton, Sugar and Orange Bowl during that period.
He's going to be the starter at NU and at many of these schools he will be at risk of not starting. OSU has Julian Sayin, the other 5 star from last year. NU needs to build up its roster and make some coaching changes. Rhule needs to get the best OC possible and stop hoping Satterfield will improve.
Put 15 million into NIL and accept that what NU football means to this state is on par with what football means to the people of Ohio, Alabama, and Tennessee.
The OL play has to improve. Can we hire a second OL coach to help? We did that in the past. I don't think we can move Donovan and keep Dylan. What about dad? He was an NFL OL and a feisty player.
Regardless of what happens we should go ahead and get Kaelin some playing time and if that means burning his redshirt, oh well.
Ok, I'll give you that but that was before I was watching.I was thinking more on the line of since the 1st NC.
The loss in 2022 to OU was on par. We were completely incompetent. That OU team wasn't even very good. We fired the DC after that game and were instantly better.
Missed tackles were far more of an issue than White's schemes. I saw guys whiff every play. Too much emphasis was on resting players in the off week.
2004 Texas Tech 70-10 over Nebraska (Callahan’s first year)
2012 Wisconsin 70-31 over Nebraska (Pelini vs Bielma. Wisconsin was the third best team in the Leaders Division because Ohio State and Penn St were ineligible due to NCAA sanctions. Wisconsin ran the same Jet Sweep over and over against Nebraska and we couldn’t stop). I think this is the worst loss in recent Husker history.
Didn’t mark mangino’s Jayhawks drop 77 points on one of Cosgrove’s brilliant defenses?
Yea, it was. This would be top 5 over last 20-years. Bad all around - in about 20 months it feels like we are back to Frost level incompetence. Not good.
2007 Callahan’s last year was so weird. Such a wild year!
Mark Mangina beat us 76-39 and then we beat K-State Ron Prince (Grimace) coach 73-31. Talk about a Bi-Polar team!
Then we scored a bunch of points at Colorado but still lost 51-65. That is like a basketball score. Joe Ganz played great though! The writing was on the wall in Callahan’s last year.

That was bad but some leeway given in that Frosty was just fired and it was Mickey Joseph’s first Interim HC game.
That’s the real kick to the groin. There were reasons to believe that we were at least moving in the right direction, away from the incompetence and embarrassments. But yesterday’s game makes you question everything about where we are and where we are going.
Yes putting up 51 points and losing was wacky. As was scoring 39 but losing by 37. Oh if only Callahan had made a change in his defense coaches he might have had a nice successful run at Nebraska.
These two would rank right up there with yesterday embarrassment.
Two thoughts: DR is a copy of 2AM. His best games were before the coaches got him going backwards. Other is DR reminds me of the receiver Frost was playing at running back because he was the only threat we had.
What if he really isn't that good......4 high schools.
The irony of this season is that DR missed a wide open game clinching TD against Illinois at the end of regulation, and two wide open TDs today against OSU when we lost by four. That Indiana loss would feel a lot different if it was the only one and we just beat a Top 5 OSU on the road.
DR has been the bright spot on offense this year, and he will be even better.

Missing wide open wide receivers that would have been the difference between wins and losses and 5 INTs in the last 3 games with zero TDs is a bright spot??
Someone needs to remind DR that mahomes scrambles a lot for yards, maybe he can add that to his game. Would help us tremendously if he could go grab 8 yards up the middle when everyone is covered
Trolls are SO unimaginative lately.
Don't make me bring out the bongo.....

I wonder if Kirk has a good steak marinade recipe?Will do, as long as you tell your coach to stop dressing up like a woman.
Yea, there were rumors about Raiola to OSU but it sounds like OSU is really happy with Sayin and he will be their next superstar QB. You can cross OSU off the list

I am pretty sure outside of the Indiana game our Defense has been good... I mean it was 13-7 in the 1st half. Not saying they didn't give up a ton of yards, but 13 points is not number we shouldn't be able to overcome.
The game changed when the 1st play of the second half was a pick 6, and that had nothing to do with the defense. Then out side of the ONE long pass play, or defense stepped up. That pass happened right after our offense went there after that pick 6 and went for 8 plays and 33 yards. Then failed to get points AGAIN.
After that drive the light clicked on for both the offense and the defense. Then our clock managment failed. That is the problem with this team, there is always a failure in an aspect of the play. That is COACHING and nothing else. The team took how many plays and how much time off the clock inside the 5? That last scoring drive we had shown zero urgency, and I started shouting about it at the 8 minute mark.
Our offensive line makes it look that way at times.. He definitely doesn’t look comfortable when behind the changes.
At this moment sure. But players do improve and DR will improve a ton. DR is a thinker-- that's hurting him at the moment. But with experience and good coaching, it will become a huge asset. And he's a talented kid who is a hard worker. We're not used to having that around here much. He volunteered to jump into mess. Give the kid some time.
I know the Terry kid is still considering us and besides Isaiah Mozee we need to land some big time receivers, not to mention this offense needs to land a big time running back in this class, Connor Booth is a nice little running back but isn’t the answer..
