Great great play call there.

Defense needs to step it up and get a stop.

Someone remind me...why was Oz benched late in the season?

R U N N I N G works.............

..... when you don't just run straight ahead all the time.

Zone read. Great play call. Where has this been all game? Carter blocking.

That's Riley's trick play.

I guess it is a trick play when you save it for the perfect time. Nice play call and execution.

AFter 3+ quarters

why cant we play like this for 4 quarters? i dont get it

After 3+ quarters of handing the ball off no one on the planet expected that to be a zone-read play. Defender didn't even look for the option.

Good play call

Finally.

A takeaway for 6 would be nice.

TOUCHDOWN RYKER! Brilliant!

Mental mistakes

 

[BoNeyard]

Regardless of if Nebraska wins or loses this game. I don't want Barnett or whatever #9's name is to break the school record for sacks.

He hurt his ankle and then tried to come back too early and hurt it again

Agreed

But...but... We've got to wait til next year for Riley to have his own guys playing, right?

What a load of crap.

Next year is gonna be worse, IMO.

Agreed. They've already started the Tanner Lee hype train, trying to convince people how good he is. I saw him play many times I'm he and twice at Tulane, and he was not good.

The excuse will be that he played with a terrible OL in Tulane. I don't know what they think he's getting here.

Prior to his Nebraska workout, he had a workout at LSU. They wanted nothing to do with him, which tells me all I need to know, because LSU's QB situation was not good coming into this season.

I hadnt heard LSU wanted nothing to do with him, but I know he visited there.

There will be no more firings. Riley is loyal to a fault. Injuries will be blamed for this loss.

Against a depleted UT team..... screw injuries. Every team has them. Others just recruit/develop depth...

Which he is trying to do because the last guy did a pathetic job at it.

Quit blaming Bo. This is Rileys show. Year 2.....Harbaugh, Fuentes, Frost, Richt all say hello.....

It's common sense, you don't rebuild a program with very little talent and zero depth with one recruiting class.As for those coaches you mentioned, those guys all walked into teams that had a lot of talent and depth because the firings were for a different reason, they had the needed talent, but didn't get it done which is nowhere were NU is at in the post Bo era. Let's see how Harbaugh does next year after losing 17-18 guys off of this team and Hokes players are gone. Much like how Bo's best years were with Callahan's players.

Wasn't Frost's team 0 and 12 last year, yet they went bowling this year?

That's not great talent.

This team has more talent than Iowa, Illinois, and Purdue.

You don't need a lot of talent to win at that level. And every loss to those teams are on what is between TA's ears other than the loss to Iowa this year.

OK offense is starting to show up, but can our defense do anything?

We don't need a D. We just need to keep forcing fumbles on the kickoff.
