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.
Rhule's stuck between a rock and a hard place with the O-line. They fire Donovan then Dylan likely hits the transfer portal.
I'd certainly replace the special teams coordinator.
They put Nebraska in difficult positions far too often.
That being said... After what 13 years, Nebraska's still not ready for Big 10 physical play.
