Northwestern Game: What Did We Learn?

Tommie Armstrong is not a winning QB. He is too inconsistent. He missed several wide open receivers today. He was also late on the throw for the attempted two point conversion. Nebraska will continue to be a program of the past with him at QB.

I was tearing my hair out with some of the decisions Tommy made and Tommy is not a good qb, there's no denying that. Let's not forget, though how wretched the o-line looked and wr's that kept dropping the easy ones. We just have a terrible offense overall, not just Tommy.
 
The run it up Reeve's butt play needs scrapped. The interior Oline is putrid. For the love of God run to the edge. Play into the strength of your skillset

 
I do want to lay it on one guy, but poor/average QB game management and/or performance has plagued this program for too long.

The team can't overcome this. Look at the NFL. An elite QB will allow the rest of the program more time to rebuild.

 
I learned that most of the people who post on here are fair weather fans who don't know how to stick with a team they "love" through the bad times and cling to memories of glory days that are irrelevant today.

 
I didn't learn much but we're not terrible. Only lost by two, should've won by 14, ... credit NW's defense for much of our lousy play and expect to see Tommy pressured a bunch. Not sure why Banker can see our pressure getting to their QB but backing off on big plays? Can't play prevent and let them go down and score with 1 minute left in the half. Can't throw the ball up out of desperation. That's 10 points.

Need to recruit offensive line....#1 need right now.

 
No bowl game. Nothing will change. No one will be fired. Long off-season of 20th ranked or worse recruiting. Repeat process next year. Life sucks.

 
I learned Urban Meyer would rip off the testicles of the Nebraska program if they had any

Starting next year we will become OSU's yearly warm up game for Michigan.

I learned that Mr. Nice Guy and his inexperienced coaches are robbing the state of Nebrasak blind by cashing fat checks and putting a piss poor product on the field. I do not blame the players, they are not the ones that are getting fat checks to lose games and embarrass our proud tradition. Also, I learned that if we want to restore pride, we need to put Eichorist, the UNL chancellor, Mike Riley, and his horrible coaches in a bus and send them to Kansas, where they belong.

 
Some of the posts are correctly focused on recruiting. We really need to win recruiting battles. If Riley can't recruit he is in trouble after year 3 IMO. I think Westy, DPE, VV, and Collins are about the only safe starting jobs next year. Get stud recruits in here that can play now! Next year would still be bumpy but year 3 is the key for me...makes or breaks Riley.

 
Thorson had 55 carries for 171 yards (3.1 ypc) on the year coming into today.

He had 9 carries for 126 yards (14.0 ypc) today.
