Rhuleskers vs Minnesoda
- Thread starter Charlie Marlow
- Start date
I reserved a hotel, but tickets online right now are insane with the "processing fees". I'll probably take what I can get from UNL or scalp day of. Wouldn't be going to all the trouble if I didn't think UNL had a good chance to win the game.
What exactly are you terrified of? It’s Minnesota, not Georgia. The last three years they have beat us by a TD by running a bunch of rugby scrums and waiting for us to implode. Maybe they do it again, but they aren’t anything to be terrified of.
🙄holy crap I regret opening this thread…
It’s freakin the middle of Februar for christ sakes.Let’s at least see a spring game..

A decent coach improves a team doesn't have to rebuild.
With these close losses I expect a good coach to win at least 50% of those games otherwise hes not a coach that can get you championships on the national level.
.
Hopefully at least on the divisional level.

just lots of ppl mavsker included are very intrigued by our match up with minn this yr
Minnesota lost all of their 12th year seniors. They wont be the team they've been the last 3 years
Hope they’re not very good. I want us winning right out the gate. Then build momentum off that and imprinted in these kids heads.
That backup qb looks like he has way more potential than Morgan. It's not an ideal game for a first year coach but certainly winnable.
If I had to rank the most difficult debut game for a recent Nebraska coach, this would be it. On the road against a conference foe we haven't beaten since 2018. Riley and Frost were also dealt bad hands for different reasons. BYU was a tough match up- a bunch of tough nosed veteran players used to playing various away games. Callahan and Pelini were blessed with soft landing debut games.
Frost opened at home against a 3-win team that fired their coach
There are bad posts, there are awful posts and then there is this one
Frost's first game was against a higher power. Maybe He was trying to tell us something...
I assume he's referring to the lightning game being canceled.
The MN game will be tough. There will be a lot of Husker fans there but the NFL won't have started and combined with the usual excitement for a home opener it will probably be a pumped up crowd. By gopher standards of course.
I don't mean to sound like a Frost or Riley apologist. I think it's fair to say that getting your first game cancelled last minute and then playing a Power 5 team as your debut (albeit a 5 win team) with a veteran QB and excellent receiver is less than ideal. As for Riley's debut, playing BYU is a tall order. Even so, both games were quite winnable. Rhule's debut game, I still believe, may be the biggest challenge of the three.
Riley debut was a Hail Mary loss.. No other way to put it..
Exactly right. Boy, that BYU game sure did deflate whatever little optimism there was for RIley's tenure. Frost's CU loss, however, I think was easier to stomach for some fans that felt we were beginning a massive rebuild.
I appreciate your high standards for Nebraska coaches and agree, that 2018 CU game was quite winnable. Honest question, do you think Rhule's debut game is more or less challenging than Frost and Riley's? Strictly speaking to the opponents rather than a commentary on specific coaches.
last time Nebraska started the season with two away games was August 31 at Oklahoma St,September 9th at Michigan State..
1995
1995
Yes, although a bad Power 5 team is usually tougher than a bad G5 team.
I would say more challenging because unlike Colorado, Minnesota actually had a winning record.
Kong, Colorado fired their coach that season in 2018 and hired Tucker and we went into Boulder and shit the bed in the 4thQ..
Agreed.
Minnesota won 9 games last year and it's an away game
Colorado won 5 games in 2017 and 5 games in 2018
BYU won 8 games in 2014 and 9 games in 2015, plus I believe they were missing some players from a bowl suspension.
Frost's debut game seemed the easiest of the three despite the odd circumstances. Rhule seems to have to the toughest game.

Perhaps if we could have played against Akron that year, we would have been better prepared to face Colorado, although I guess you couldn't call Akron a gimme game considering we got our teeth kicked in by Troy that year
