****Iowa Game Day Thread****

[Born N Bled Red]

Haarberg is the softest 250 pounder I’ve ever seen.

Runs too tall and tries to.get shifty instead of using his size advantage to over power.

Beyond pathetic. I really feel bad for the fans in the stadium. They should refund the price of these tickets to the fans and that should come from Rhule’s underserved unearned salary. Butler and Dana should also contribute since they are equally pathetic.

I do not think those 2 points would have mattered. Iowa is just that much more physical than us. Eventually Iowa was going to overpower us and pull away.

After that last play we can put to bed that it was a victory stolen

Why not use EJ all day and especially near the goal line?

Because that would be smart.

Common sense is not an asset of this staff. Also high probability he might not get in given this team couldn't get 6 inches against Houston Christian in the same situation

 

[ArcticHusker]

Absolutely deserve that for taking the ball out of ej’s hands. Most of us are still watching only to see ej build his case for a heisman playing for a team that might have 3 wins without him.

At least the pain of the season, specifically November, is over now.

What is Nebraska's record when having a 200-yard rusher?

 

[BlackHillsHusker]

Pull EJ from the game.

The coaches owe that to him. Don't let him get hurt in this dumpster fire.

I'll say this in the "what did we learn " thread as well
EJ should sit out the bowl game as well. Get ready for the draft

 

[Micheal]

Toilet bowl here we come!

I'll take that over no bowl game.

Rhule has improved the team from the Frost era but still alot of room for improvement. We beat the teams we are supposed to which Frost couldn't do. Now we need to beat teams better than us.

Guessing this will be thefirst ever loss with a 200 yard rusher.

Was a zone read, Haarberg ran the play the way he should have. Just screwed it up... he's a senior too, would've been just as nice for.him to get a td in his last game.

I'd wager we haven't ever lost by 20+ with one.

 

[The Duke]

Rhule just looks lost one the sideline. Like no idea how to fix this. Like he tried his previous rebuild BS and its failed.

And that play sums up the season 250lb QB to TE stoned at the goal line an fumbles...Great call Dana. Kudos. Please don't come back.

Rhule needs to go study tape on the Nebraska teams under Osborne & Solich.

Forget about the option, just study those teams' basic running game of (Inside/Outside Zone, Counter, ISO, Trap, Sweep) and study how physical they were.

He could then go study North Dakota State from the last 15 years.

THAT is the blueprint Nebraska has to get back to.

What are you talking about? A defensive back just stones him earlier in the drive.
