Rumors of Huskers wearing all whites vs Indiana.

Time to put up or shut the fuck up and continue being a Big 10 bottom dweller.

It's fucking Indiana. This is their record the last 3 years. (2-10), (4-8), (3-9).

Guy comes in and turns them around on a dime to be 6-0 and bowl eligible first season. None of that.....

"He needs a few years"

"He needs to get his players"

"He needs to install his schemes"

Don't even get me started on team recruiting rankings and the difference in talent here.
 
Special teams fucking the Huskers over again. :facepalm:

How many years is that now?

How long 'til Rhule makes a change? Is the special teams coordinator a buddy?
 
Zero confidence in your special teams to hit a 20 yd FG. :facepalm:
I can’t blame them. We can’t even execute anything on special teams. Either bad snap, bad hold or bad kick
 
Anyone else not surprised by the outcome today?
Not really. When a team can't kick field goals that tells me the coaching staff is completely clueless on the importance of that associated to a game plan. If they can't figure that out, I don't expect them to know other key points of putting a team on field that can win. What I'm surprised at is a P5 team such as Nebraska can't find more than one FG kicker. Absolutely mind blowing to me, Rhule needs to figure that shit out. Maybe go scout the Husker Soccer team??
 
Facts. It's coaching and getting the right personnel

 
Curious to see if this was an anomaly, or a harbinger of the things to come.

Unfortunately, Ohio State week is not the best week to find out.
 
First before I do a post on the game. Indiana brought in a college coach and got a bunch of transfers from his old school. That's one of the easiest way to do it quickly as they already know the system. Not making excuses for Rhule, just saying it's helpful. It helps when you get known commodities, we've really missed in the portal, got some decent guys but no game changer. We r starting a freshman QB, which shows flashes of greatness but makes freshman mistakes. An inconsistent Oline that can't be counted on to open holes.
 
Anyone else not surprised by the outcome today?

Not at all. I had my vCash on Indiana.

I'll have to go look, but Nebraska typically comes off bye weeks flat like they haven't spent a damn minute practicing (football) or watching actual (football) game film of themselves or of their upcoming opponent.

Once I saw they'd be wearing 'all-whites' on top of that, I knew it was as good as a :lock1:
 
Now to the game, as I mentioned above, we just don't have game changers, we don't have guys winning one on one battles. You saw it on both sides of the ball. Our WRs are atrocious at blocking which doesn't allow anyone to break a big play. They aren't great at getting open either or Dylan isn't risking the throw to give them a chance to make a play.

On O, just can never get the running game going which just really kills play action. Oline just so inconsistent and some of that on our OC, just doesn't seem to be very creative in the run game. Makes some really bad calls in some situations putting us behind the sticks. Fidone was the only bright spot, but Dylan trying to feed him caused INT. Refs didn't help a lot, let a ton go on the outside, announcer even said it when we were driving for a score there in the 4th. Probably was happening all game but it's where we never adjust.

Our DBs play too far off, so when refs letting a lot go, our DBs aren't pressuring and too many easy throws. They had a couple of big plays and their QB carved us up. RPO really hurt, always thought we were suspectable to that style. Thought the refs gave them a little too much leeway on OL down the field and saw several bear hugs out there that not really sure how you don't call. Just not sure why Tony didn't adjust this week, he made some nice adjustments against Rutgers but just seemed odd what we were seeing. Maybe he isn't ready to be a HC.

ST, could have tried some FGs. Had points early which might have helped, didn't mind not kicking late but you aren't going to find improvement without trying. Not sure what happened on that kickoff, why field it? Why not call for fair catch?

OC and WR coach need to go. Might replace OL too, not sure if that's crappy run play calls or bad coaching.

I feel like the WRs and DBs need to just line up and practice blocking, routes, tight coverage all week. Let Dylan try and gain some confidence on throwing deep to guys in one on one coverage. Haven't seen any deep shots recently.
