What did we learn: Rutgers

[I am I]

F it, we won. 
 

could nit pick all day but won’t. We just need to win, which we did. 
 

O line is not good, at all. No answers except some screens, draws, traps, and counters

to keep opposing D at least a little off balance. The reverse didn’t work but we need that, keep ‘em honest. Actually pulled the guards a couple times on misdirection, need that too. If we can’t  block, we gotta fool em..glad we tried. It’s been missing, o line scheme. 

D came off the bench after a punt block and 2 int and held up. 
we’re not playing tight anymore so good to see, now gotta clean up punching ourselves in the d!(k. 

Cornhusker nation is strong. Watched the game at a local watering hole and there were a dozen of our closest friends goin nuts. Strong Nation, we have. We love our team and got the W, get behind this team and enjoy it tonight. We won.

It’s scary that a position of depth entering the season has no depth at all. Rahmir is basically off the team for the rest of the season. I don’t get what happened to Ervin, unless it was an injury. Yant is never the answer. Not sure what people see in him.  

I see a full back, but it doesn’t help this offense.

Leading the B1G West (for the night)

The fact that the winner of this division will have to play against Ohio State in the title game is at the same time just punishment and completely unfair

Win felt great even though it was an ugly game.   From an offensive standpoint,  I miss Frost.   From a game management standpoint,  I'm glad he is gone...  I wonder how the year would have went if he had fired chins after game 1 or 2?  MJ has a lot to learn but he is showing he knows how to win.

Y’all serious about asking the point of 1 second? We just forget about 2009? 

No, but I am asking about the value of 3 timeouts in the event something crazy happened like Rutgers breaking a long score and the offense needing to score again with less than a minute remaining vs allowing those seconds to run off and wasting the timeouts.

I'm wondering if our linemen just get out of the way would it be easier for Grant to run because there would be less bodies to maneuver around?

We would be 5-1 if higher ups weren't still living in the 90s with their golden boy

Do you mean Big time Booster, when you refer to higher ups? They control everything!!! That is why SF was here (although he could have basically named his spot after UCF), they are why he survived last year, and now they are why Trev was finally allowed to pull the trigger

We got lucky their first guy to the ball didn’t scoop it cleanly.  If so, he could have walked in.

Casey Thompson is a tough kid. Seems like every week he takes several shots and keeps going out there.

The announcers were worse than Ed Cunningham and Beth Mowins.

Hard to believe a Rutgers home game didn’t rate First Team announcers (eh?) Their definition of a sellout is a bit different than our definition of a sellout.

I am glad we won, but it will still be a struggle to get to 6 wins.

Thompson seemed to struggle a bit with the deep ball like the one Palmer had the offensive PI on that should have been an easy TD.

The 4th and 1 empty backfield play was disappointing.  At least pretend like you might run.

I like Yant on short yardage, but that is about it.  Maybe move Ramir back to RB if he is available. 

The defense played well outside of the 1st drive and few deep balls.  Bend, but don't break.

I feel this Purdue game is another must win if Nebraska wants to go bowling.  It is one of the more winnable ones left, but the offense will need to score more.
