Sims and Satterfield.  2 of those 2 INT's were Sims fault

For some reason Thompson isn’t here and Sims isn’t the backup. Whoever caused that lost this one. But we saw some good solid play on defense and special teams too, plus a really good offensive series of running plays that we immediately went away from.

And if Gabe was the "clear #1" why not feed that dude all game.  Some one said earlier in the off season that the Satt offense was not based on runing the ball or body blows.  It showed. His play calling was for sh!t.  Our only TD on a busted trick play....

If Sims is our guy.  Use him like every other athlete playing QB NU had.  Run first.  PA passing and a brutal running game.  Simple.

You know the answer to this.  Our o line is still trash and thats not changing any time soon given who's on the depth chart.  Perhaps with Teddy healthy things might look a little different but i think we all need to temper expectations on the run game.  Klatt said it best early on, when he said "this is an experienced line but its ineffective experience (paraphrasing here).

My only take is why do you give the ball to grant at the end of the game when he has ball security issues.

An interesting tidbit, rhule has never won a debut. See if there is improvement across the length of the season before u go crazy on him yet. When they aren't recruiting like Harsin was for us, then be concerned lol

 

[HuskerInLostWages]

Knap, does this say our team is just awful or we have coaches who do extremely stupid crap?  Maybe the players just do stupid crap(i'm not arguing either at this point)?  This team just cannot get out of their own way.

 

[Waldo]

We really aren’t overreacting. Rhule has never coached at a place like Nebraska. You can’t go 1-11 in a rebuild here without hearing it every week.

We lost the game running. Fumble to TD.

 Such a disappointment…
 

I’m thinking back to the previous series I suppose when we could’ve burned clock and instead went to the pass…

Odd use of the running backs in my opinion. Was anticipating more Irvin.

It just sucks

Might be time to join the Big Sky or something. What an embarrassment this program continues to be. Just honestly a bunch of idiots. 

Screw that-pac 4 FTW

Screw that-pac 4 FTW

I watched Northern Colorado and Abiline Christian on my 2nd TV tonight.  I’m confident we could beat Northern Colorado.

The reactions here never change.

"I'm so mad at the thing that happened at the very end."

*ignores the previous 3.5 quarters of constant f***-up's.*

Matt Rhule, Mike Riley part deux

Sure a sh$t hope yer wrong.  We’ll know by thanksgiving weekend…

 

[308_Husker]

I mean, wow. I think everyone knew what would happen when we fumbled with about 5 minutes left.

I don't even know what to say looking at that graph, other than we suck. We don't know how to pull in 17 straight one loss games? 

I will forever support this team, but the next generation won't as much because we suck. And the generation after them sure as hell won't because we suck. We are not generating young fans the same way we did in the past. 

I have confidence Rhule is the guy for the job and I'm giving him time, but the Huskers MUST start winning soon, otherwise just lock us away in the archives of the past. 

This may be an overreaction, but it's my Husker existential dread. 

 

[Hayseed]

U must have slept thru the first half 

The half we gave up 3 points and the pathetic offense put up a goose egg?

He already dropped it heading to the locker room, twice.
