What did we learn Indiana edition

Could the defensive struggles be that Cooper left the program as DB coach?  Or that there is a disconnect between White and Butler.  We did lose a few guys from last year, but the D has struggled to a degree this year and the DB's are a very weak link.  
I dunno if I would call it struggles. I mean today was bad, but I think this is the defense by design. Bend don’t break is nice when your offense has a pulse and you can play the field position game… bend don’t break will look horrendous when you’re constantly left out to dry by your teammates. We still dont have a solo guy who demands a double team and we don’t draw up blitzes enough to make up for that. Any defense will get carved up when those factors fall that way 

 
Agree and if you look at my full review of today on Page 2 I called out all phases.  I just think the defensive letdowns have been the biggest surprise for 2024 in our 2 losses. We relied on the D in 2023 to keep us in many games and this year it doesn't appear we can rely on the D against above average competition.
Yah I’d agree on the biggest surprise part for sure. I expected better.  Illinois Rhule even said himself they were caught off guard by a lot of what Illinois was doing- that falls on the coaches. Despite the rocky performance against Illinois, we would’ve won that game had raiola just hit boerkircher on that pass in the end zone

today, was just a systemic no show coming off a bye week… pathetic 

BRO guys are going to lose their press passes. They getting real. 
Who is BRO? Wish I was listening to this, sounds like they finally asking the honest questions fans have been voicing for a month now

Big Read Overreaction. Pretty scaling critique of Rhule, Satt, Foley.    It’s Gary Sharp( who I don’t always like) and not sure of the other one.

Ahhh duhhh, my bad, for some reason I was thinking big red online but was confusing them with husker online. Brain a bit fried after that s#!t show and I didn’t even have a Bloody Mary today 

 
i learned that  it was a good day to work instead of watching the huskers.    and i think i will make the same plans for next weekend
Do you really do that?

We get 12 of these a year and you spend a ton of time posting here, but then you don't watch them?  I have never understood that.  I don't think I have missed a game since 1994.    

Even if I am "working" I still watch it somehow or follow it somehow.

i was working for free,   my daughter bought a house and was putting up new storm doors and new locks and deadbolts.   it took longer at menards for her to pick out the new doors and locks than the actual work to install them.   lol.

Hahaha!  Classic daughter move!!!

 
Can we be an upstart someday?  It would be such a step up to stumble on a good coach once a decade and have 2 years of success before they get a better job. 
 

Not only do we not hire great coaches…this job is becoming a f#&%ing career killer. Pelini never got a P5 HC offer after we fired him. Riley too (not counting his standing offer to take money from Oregon St) . Scott Frost went into witness protection. I can’t even name an assistant that ever got a real opportunity after us. Maybe Tim Beck for 1 year at Ohio state as co OC?

 
This team is going to need a miracle to win another game. 
We have to stop looking at other teams play or even who they have played.  We are not good.  We need to look at what we do, which is nothing.

We should have lost to Rutgers.  I’m glad we played Colorado when we did.  

This team literally did nothing good today.  I think one win is going to be a challenge.  Our only hope is it’s 10 degrees on November 2nd.

 
Amongst the other offensive issues, I keep forgetting to say, the lack of consistent motion and player movement pre snap is infuriating.  We do a little motion once in awhile, but for the most part the defense can see where are from the get go and have no chance for any confusion or players out of position.   Exact opposite of when I watch an Andy Reid coached Chiefs team
