What did we learn? Illinois

Thought the lines looked great!

For the first time since the Frost/Chinander firings, was disappointed with the coaching, specifically Whipple.

It was clear Purdy was no where near prepared for the combination of our O-line and the Illinois D. While he looked bad passing, he even made Thomson look like Lamar Jackson with how slow he moves. 

Yet, Smothers could barely get a sniff. And with the "only" a 2 score deficit, Whipple seemingly called played to simply get the offense off the field. Would've liked to have seen Mickey take more command here.

Was disappointed in Whipple as well. This staff needs to put their heads together to find ways to have a reliable running game that is at least respected as a threat. We've got to be able to mix it up some and effectively incorporate it in.

Thompson being hurt is probably the difference between 3-9 and 3-9.

Learned that Mickey will not be HC and that our team cares about getting to a bowl game as much as I care about Ohio state or Michigan winning a game.

Also if this type of performance and game plan continues, neither Grant nor Palmer will be here next year.

Whipple needs to retire or be fired.

Quit watching before the 4th. There was nothing else to see that I hadn't seen before.

I dont want to watch 25% decently okay, somewhat fundamental football and 75% crap show football anymore.

NU can go 3-9 without them (tell Grant to put his head down and get the first down)

 

[CheeseHusker]

You cannot win at any level when you turn the ball over that many times, backup QB or not.

Of course, I don't think that's really new information to anybody.

 

[McBrideMafia]

We stink, all around stinkiness.

I think we will lose quite a few tbh.  New HC might stem that flow.

 

[Hagg]

Not much of consequence has changed.  This game exemplified why we’re not relevant nationally, in our conference, or even in our division.  

 

[krc1995]

I really think they did about as good as they can do. They are a bits and pieces team and coaching staff. 

 

[BoSolich]

we stink and aren't going to a bowl game and firing frost 3 games in made no difference.

 

[McBrideMafia]

It stunk when they showed the Osborne years vs. everything since then comparison. Absolutely brutal. Hard to explain to kids why NU sucks so bad.

 

[CheeseHusker]

I think I'm more disappointed in Whipple than anything else.
