Of course they are! More opposing QB long runs in Tony White’s future??
USC benching QB Moss
- Thread starter 3fingershomer
- Start date
Nothing like losing to a first time starter after you’ve had an extra bye week to prepare and game plan.
He's going with a more mobile QB against us. We need to be willing to bench Raiola if needed. If he is a future top NFL draft pick he should be able to win and keep the job over Haarberg and Kaelin. We need to give the latter two guys a chance to win the starting job and make sure everyone knows that nothing is guaranteed.
We should also give guys like Benning a chance to start over guys like Gifford who haven't played particularly well. Seniority and stars means nothing in life.
We all know how this is going to go, right? Just checking.
yep
not only did they pick us as their homecoming game but also a good opponent to break in a new QB
here's hoping Nice Guy Rhule has the boys ready to roll

I hope our outside consultants get here this week so they can tell us how NOT to prepare for USC.
I will say this: it does seem awfully interesting how many teams face Nebraska this year coming off a bye week. Even when we have a bye weekend, the other team we face is coming off a bye, too. It’s almost as if the conference is sticking it to us or something.
USC and Riley are feeling a lot of pressure too. They still have a game against ND and we all saw that UCLA is better than their record and the game is in the Rose Bowl. At 4-5 they have to win 2 of 3 games to be bowl eligible. Most people are just counting us out in this game and that may help take some pressure off, as well as not playing in Lincoln.
USC has speedy talented receivers, but we were fine against the two other teams with speedy, talented receivers. It was actually the ground game that hurt us the most against UCLA. They had more rushing yards in one half than Ohio St.
ohiost never got off the bus against us
they were looking ahead to their game in happy valley
SC will be ready to go. Rhule has never beaten Riley. here's hoping he's sick of being the nail and finally gets the boys to play like the hammer.
He’s not a first time starter though.

Here's my fantasy: What would be the upside for Rhule announcing any changes right now? None, but I'm half convinced that Rhule is really fed up with this offense. I'm hoping that there will be an actual change to the play calling hierarchy which will result in a concerted effort to establish the run against these lightweights.
Also we're on the road so our mentally fragile team doesn't have to deal with the unbearable weight of playing in front of the too-demanding home crowd.

Yeah he's a UNLV transfer. Moss was actually the guy that was expected to be a Heisman finalist and potential first round pick. He isn't bad. he just isn't very mobile and I think Riley knows that's one thing our defense excels against.
And the home crowd at USC is about as passive as a crowd can get. If they even bother driving to the stadium. Which I don't blame them for not doing. LA traffic sucks.Here's my fantasy: What would be the upside for Rhule announcing any changes right now? None, but I'm half convinced that Rhule is really fed up with this offense.

His AD and boosters of substance are fed up with his OC’s offense. Changes are coming. They have to be.Here's my fantasy: What would be the upside for Rhule announcing any changes right now?

I firmly believe that the team who showed up against Colorado in the first half could run with anyone in the country.
Get that team to show up even 75% of the time and we could finish 9-4.

There is no way Riley will bench Moss. He's too stubborn and arrogant. Huskers by 3 and believe me I hope it's by ALOT more so we can get rid of this guy! Please do us a solid!
