PSU - What Did We Learn?

I expected Nebraska to lose but not by that much. It's frustrating and I think they get too conservative on both sides of the ball at times. I saw Dillingham call a play where Tyson threw into the end zone on a 3rd down call for ASU and thinking that's the kind of unpredictability Nebraska could use more of on offense to go with legitimate run fits, more physicality on defense if I had early Christmas wishes. I can't imagine any recruit was impressed by today. If they lose to Iowa, the team has taken a step back, period. It will be an important portal offseason because the excuses are starting to get thinner.
 
Also, it looks like there might be Las Vegas Bowl plans. Sigh. You would think a 'Husker team would stumble into a 10 win season with optimism one of these years but every year is Groundhog's Day. I am really thankful Fred Hoiberg and Amy Williams's teams look to compliment DBK's team in being fun to watch. That's where my eyes are going.

Turned it off at halftime, completely dominated and out coached by a 4 win team with a interim lame duck staff during a prime time game. Some people actually thought Penn State wanted to hire Rhule, pretty good job by his agent and so called media propping that crap up.

My eyes tells me that we could have lost this game by a lot more than we did. We were so overmatched athletically. And I tip my cap to the guys that put on the uniform and try. Must be a miserable way to live under such scrutiny when your best just isn’t good enough.

You really believe that was the players and coaches “best?”
 
Calling the fake punt, that almost scored, when the game was already decided was the ultimate show of disrespect. This from Rhules friend Terry Smith who Rhule got into coaching at Temple. And adding insult to injury both Singleton and Allen, most prolific duo since Batman and Robin, set records as well.

The staff is simply overmatched and we still lack talent at key positions, development and quality depth.

Rhule is a great CEO and hype man, but needs some dawgs on his staff.

Just stop with this unwritten rule stuff, this isn't baseball. If you don't like it, you should stop it until the clock hits zero. This attitude is part of our overall problem. You're not owed anything, given anything, you must go take it. That's what other teams do, play to win at all times. I believe you say stuff like "put your foot on their throat" and "all gas, no brakes", then you say this?

Rhule has improved the team and program from when he arrived, but in this day and age of college athletics, it isn't about scholarships and recruiting. He has the money, he's got the facilities, he has everything every other successful coach has.

Next year needs to be a meaningful bowl or bust.

I hear you. But that was a huge FU in addition to Smith auditioning for his job. I’d love a coach with the balls to do that. I’m pissed we are continually on receiving end of that. I’m sick of incompetent coaches, Sick of nice coaches. Sick of contract extensions for guys who don’t deserve it to only fire them the following year. And yes, I loved watching TO just play and win when teams couldn’t stop us. But it wasn’t our starters…it wasn’t through trickery. He just lined up and punched you in the throat until you choked. And he wasn’t nice or incompetent.

I'm all on board for going for it on 4th down there. But it felt like we tried to force an EJ touchdown instead of calling the "right" play call on 3rd and 4th. OK pounding it once or twice, but to do it four times in a row is the definition of insanity.

I'm on the other side. I thought we should have taken the sure points there. I agree we should have called the "right" play rather than trying to pound it in. 😂

We still would have lost, PSU is just a little overall better team at this point of the season.

Sean Payton is 9-2 in Denver because of that edge and accountability. Some guys have it. We see how much of a trash fire the Saints have been since he left.
