Offense was poor. If you have a QB with some reasonable playing experience, perhaps you don't see this awful outcome.

This one belongs on the coaches. Riley better man up and take the blame on this. Frankly, I am not sure what he can say but he needs to provide some kind of explanation of the outcome. You cannot blame

For his first start, Fyfe made 2 bad throws, but he looks way better than TA. This game is not the fault of the QB...total team loss.

I can't take it anymore. Does anyone posting here have clue? If you throw a pass way behind the receiver, bad things happen. It doesn't mean you are cursed, it means you can't throw accurately, which is a function of coaching, talent, effort, and practice.

Good lord right!?

It's either bad coaching or we're cursed!? Where the hell do you people just realize that if we just execute, things usually go our way! If we don't have the players to execute, then we need to get them and we can hardly hold Riley and his staff accountable for not having the guys capable of executing right now. How the hell could that be their fault?

We've been inconsistent for years now!

Could it be any worse than this ???? Hell YES, they just scored again after their stupid fourth down pass call. The Huskers are no longer the Huskers. This crappy play is not worthy of a good high school team.

Come on man. No one here is against the team. You seem to blame them and give the staff a pass.

I keep the balance. I'll tell you when it's one or the other or both.

Players have been in position to win this game and have made too many mistakes and not made enough plays to cover them up.

Really...so when has it been on the coaches?

The Illinois game. No doubt about it. The rest of the games have been a little bit of both. This one and last week was mostly all players.

The tone of the game and mindset of the team is set in the off-season and Sunday-Friday in practice. That is on the coaches to build their culture. 10 months is plenty of time to establish a strong culture. Listen to how Harbaugh did it through tough practices, high expectation, and accountability in the same amount of time Riley has been at Nebraska.

The players choose to quit on this team, but the coaches allow them.

As a coach, you have to know this.

This discussion of it's the players fault VS it's the coaches fault needs to stop. They are on the same damn team. You win as a team, you lose as a team.

Thanks_Tom RR has it exactly right. This team, it's mentality, it's mindset, it's identity is built in the offseason and in how they go about practices during the week. That is on the coaches.

Have the coaches made some good play calls or had the players in positions to make plays, but just didn't execute? YES!

This season's outcome, both it's positives & negatives falls on both parties.
