All we need is for NW to throw an incompletion to stop the clock here.
Riley was outcoached again.

This is just piss-poor coaching. Sorry, this is a miserable team, and we just lost to a team that hasn't been able to move the ball all season.
It's a common theme. People blamed Solich for Callahan, Callahan for Pelini, Pelini for Riley and I'm sure when Riley goes he'll be blamed for something as well..
After the way we played today 0-4 is pretty damned realistic to close out the season.
Riley is the worst HC in the history of Nebraska football. This team is the worst team in the history of Nebraska football. Tommy is the worst QB in the history of Nebraska football. I guess we'll have to pray for 5 win seasons until Riley and his band of terrible coaches move on.
We didn't even try to run it. 2 jano runs and only 1 jet sweep.
Two yard runs turn into 10 yard runs when you keep pound. Our run plan was embarrassing. No creativity. No adaption to what was being given.
Great example is late in the game tommy ran a lead run left, no motion no fake, no counter step, just run left. We had numbers on that to the short side and didn't take it until it was too late. You have to stick with the run. Have to.
Mike Riley is a hell of a nice guy, though. He won't cuss at the news conference. So we can all be grateful for that.
Meanwhile, the football team continues to be poorly coached and look generally clueless.

This has nothing to do with Bo. Bo sucked. Doesn't mean Riley is great. He sucked at Oregon State and he sucks here.
"inferior team"
It's not 1995 anymore!
you're high if you think any of Wisconsin, NW, Illinois, or BYU has better players than we do. No, this is bad coaching.
And as I said this runs way deeper than the staff. Not sure why so many choose to ignore it.
FWIW the only people raving about our talent are guys on our message boards other than Collins.
Name me one person on Northwestern at the position that is better than who Nebraska puts out there.
on offense, we have worlds better skill talent than all of these teams.
So are you saying we just have inferior talent? That players aren't playing hard? The problem lies with the administration (Perlman, Eich)?
Do you still think we'd be 3-5 if we had hired a guy like Tom Herman?
I said it when he was hired, Riley's system is not a good fit for the Big Ten. He's been a West Coast guy all his life. And by the time he gets all of "his guys" in here, he'll be retirement age, and we'll have to start all over again with a new coach and new system. I would have much rather taken a chance on a young guy like Herman, or even Narduzzi or Frost.
Herman is a really good coach. We just don`t have the horses right now plain and simple.
Agreed coaching????just like Callahan passing 30plus time with Joe Daily. Think about it. Run the Damn ball.
We have enough horses to have the lead in the 4th quarter 4 times, but not enough horses to win those games? None of the teams that have beaten us have been incredibly talented teams. This staff, going back to Oregon State, has struggled to close out close games.
Bad play on the field is either coached or tolerated. If players are consistently making mistakes, they need to the bench for a while to send a message.
