It’s funny how many posters are discarding progress because of a step back. That’s the nature of progress…two forward, one back. It’s never a straight line. It’s absurd to expect it to be.

Who’s the MFer just throwing laugh emojis on everything? Meet me after school in the parking lot.. I’ll give you something to laugh at.

*flashbacks to our last QB from Tulane*

That was a brutal outing, but 1 play in particular would drive me nuts if I'm the coaching staff. I believe it was in the 3rd quarter, but the play was a shallow cross screen. Fidone blocks Lloyd's man off the LOS, Lloyd comes underneath Fidone and crosses down the LOS, and the receiver running a shallow cross from the opposite side also blocks coverage LB's. All legal because Lloyd is crossing at the LOS. HH dropped back in a clean pocket & just as Lloyd is about to break free & into a ton of open space, HH inexplicably climbs in the clean pocket and runs himself into a sack with eyes down field the entire time. Any pass that doesn't go to Lloyd turns all those blocks into penalties, because they were blatant blocks, not subtle picks. So what in the world was HH looking at, and why did he abandon a clean pocket while the screen was being set up? IMO, you can only assume he wasn't aware what they were running & that the receiver down field was just clearing out coverage. As frustrating as the endless array of the inaccurate passes were, they can be accounted for. That play isn't mechanics, it's between the ears.

As bad as we are, we easily could be 7-2 right now. We lost to Minnesota and Michigan State due to our own mistakes. None of our wins were really that close. The defense seemed in control of those games for the most part. The offense did enough.

It is a new team with progress being made and it's out there for anyone that cares to see it. The team is still a work in progress and that's ok.

Between P5, G5 and FCS schools there will be around 200 QB's that will be looking for a new home. Maybe more. They don't need a first round draft pick. They just need a top half P5 guy.

The defense did their job. Good enough to win most football games. It's not their fault that they didn't save the day, once again, week after week. Their job is to defend, the best they can, and be supportive of their own offense. The game was tied 10-10 at halftime. All Husker scoring drives in 2nd half by the offense: 2nd half - All Husker possesions/drives... Huskers - 6 plays 29 yards, PUNT Huskers - 3 plays, -4 yards, PUNT Huskers - 3 plays, 1 yard, PUNT Huskers - 3 plays, 3 yards, PUNT Huskers - 6 plays, 41 yards, INTERCEPTION Huskers - 4 plays, 65 yards, TOUCHDOWN Huskers - 3 plays, 6 yards, FUMBLE Huskers - 3 plays, 1 yard, FUMBLE, END OF GAME Yeah, That's what the offense did. With the players on the field. The Huskers defense allowed 295 yards and 2 touchdowns. MSU was 3-14 on third downs MSU had 63 rush yards on 31 attempts MSU had 7 penalties for 70 yards MSU had 232 pass yards on 24 attempts - 46 yards on ONE trick-pass play. The MSU QBs threw for just 186 yards in 4 quarters. I will note that the special teams units were also bad and gave up hidden yardage and put lost the field position battle. Which is ultimately key in the Big Ten for helping to get wins. Husker's punter did his typical subpar performance: 5 punts for 35.4 yard average. The Huskers were forced to punt from their own 21 yard line, and our punter kicked it 28 yards, giving MSU 1st and 10 at the Huskers 49. He does this nearly every game (short punt when you need a big leg boot to flip the field). Fortunately the defense stuffed MSU and forced them to punt it away too. Meawhile, MSU's punter kicked 7 punts for 48.3 average. Of course. And the fair catch calls on 6 out of 7 punts also put the offense into bad field position. Several of those punts should not have been caught because they might have bounced into the end zone. And a few punts should have been returned with so much room to catch and run. We just couldn't throw a catchable pass enough times. We couldn't make immediate decisions where to pass to. We got sacked and felt pressure and struggled to scramble, as if the pocket was filled with sand. Would have gotten one obvious touchdown on the long pass to Bullock if it was read right by the QB. Would have gotten a blatant pass-interference call going our way if the pass was at least 5 yards from the target (Coleman got blasted by a defender). Threw a pick into the endzone that was overturned by a defensive penalty away from the play. I think we eventually scored a TD on that drive, or was it a FG? Running the ball wasn't too bad with a loaded box. It was bad passing, poor, slow decisions and bad QB play. With turnovers. Oh well though. Guys gave it their best. Just came up short in the end.

Why is there only one game left to use Sims? Might as well use him in all three if you're going to use him in 1. He's already taken snaps in 4 games.

the problem with the routes you outlined is we don’t have a qb to execute those routes. HH release point coupled with the velocity he throws with is a main reason why he’s sailing a lot of his out throws and quick hits over the middle. my guess is the coaching staff has zero confidence in him to make those plays without a high risk of turnover. Something also tells me that HH’s passing IQ is terribly low, I don’t know how else to explain why he’s still missing receivers wide open by design. You need a qb who can quickly go through designed progressions- something HH has shown incapable of for 2 months now.

If they get to 6 wins, I'll consider the season a success. If they drop 4 in a row to finish, it will be a failure.

This is great news for the Huskers

This was the most disappointing part of the game for me, and where a lot of our problems stemmed from. We saw this SO MUCH the past 20 years. Rhule is doing a good job purging this mentality from the team, but it's not gone yet. It was clear from the first two opening drives that Michigan State brought a greater will to fight than we did. We're pretty evenly matched teams. They out-efforted us.

Aside from the bad officiating, which hurt both teams at different times, this game mostly looks like Michigan State did their homework and figured out a few things. They kept a safety deep in center field for that play-action bomb we've been hitting on. Picked it off, on a play that would have been the game-winning touchdown if Haarberg had just thrown it to his receiver. Re-watching that play, Bullock fakes to the center of the field and then cuts back, creating some really good separation. Just as he fakes, Haarberg throws - to the center of the field. He bit on the WR's fake. Hutmacher was not double-teamed the entire game. He was pretty much contained by their Center one-on-one. Robinson wasn't wreaking havoc like he has the last three games, either. The entire front seven seemed uninspired. For a defense going up against a banged-up O Line, we should have had a lot more pressure on their QB. I don't know if Polar Bear and Robinson are slowed by injuries, but they have drastically dropped in production the last two games.

You cant abandon with HH right now. Honestly your building for something bigger and taking these lumps are is what needs to be done. If all we get is 6 wins its still a win from where we were.

Hmmm…wonder why.

This is all "private investigator" stuff stinks like bitter apples and sour grapes from Ohio State University people. Since the day the rumors started to float, I suspected this coming from the Buckeyes. Listen, it is almost universal among sports teams to try to get an edge and do some shady stuff until they get caught somehow. Been going on like that for decades, so I am not surprised by the accusation, but it is strange when it's just one team being targeted and called out. Especially a team that is winning a lot. Rewind - On September 9, 2007, the NFL catches the New England Patriots illegally videotaping coaching signals of the New York Jets from an unauthorized location in a Week 1 game in East Rutherford, N.J.—a scandal the media soon dubs "Spygate." - In 2015, during the AFC championship game, the New England Patriots deliberately deflated footballs below legal levels...... - Reggie Bush was not paid to go to USC - until busted. - Cam Newton was not paid to go to Auburn.... - Sammy Sosa and Albert Belle never corked their bats to hit 50+ homers and get paid millions.... McGwire, Clemons, Bonds never took steroids... Nor did anyone else on other teams.... until you get caught. Cheating and doing things unethically is everywhere in sports. It sucks. I don't know what to do about it. I just think crying about it is annoying.

Yeah, these are all just for clicks and something to talk about. None of these polls matter right now.

I, for one, cannot believe it was a mistake to tell your offensive line they suck and you're going to replace them next year in the middle of the season.

I would’ve loved to have him as an option but he too would struggle with this offense. If you took out Palmer last year we lacked difference makers- not sure how effective he would’ve been this year given the state of options to throw to

D. no...even if they knew the signals

I learned that if you want to beat Nebraska, stack the box with 8-9 people and dare us to pass.

Earlier in the year, Colorado State would have won if they didn't play prevent defense on a 95 yard drive.

Either way he is our QB, we can win 2 of the next 3 games that will give the team alot of momentum into next year, have a above 500 record for the first time in a long time. Keep playing, keep driving, keep learning. Learn to win, one game at a time, one down at a time, One Snap, One Yard whatever it takes.

Since Sims

Unpopular Opinion maybe: Heinrich Haarberg is a division 3 level passer and Marcus SatterField called a good enough game to win. Heinrich missed tons of open Receivers this game. His field vision and awareness is terrible. Popular Opinion: These refs sucked. Wtf

Offense was really bad Defense was more leaky than they've been all season. Special teams was bad. Got shafted on several calls. Not a good time to string all of that together.

Does this scratch that itch ok? https://www.yahoo.com/news/speaker-mike-johnsons-adopted-black-110911015.html

I wonder how long it will take to get down to us low level rubes posting on Huskerboard. Does Gitmo have room for all of us?

In the event anyone can't afford the 7 day free trail offer from Peacock and misses the game it is scheduled to be on B1G Footbal in 60, Sunday Nov. 12 @ 1:00pm.

IDK man, he touches my man bobs like that and I comin’ for half his Aflac money

@Dr. Strangelove would disagree NBC. .

A year out polls are basically worthless. Besides who still has a landline or answers an unknown number? In mid 1983 Mondale lead Reagan by 10% 1991 Bush was up by 23% over any Democrat 1995 Dole was up 4% over Clinton 2011 Obama was down 5% 2015 Hillary was up 24% over Trump

MSU blitzed at least three different times in the first half alone, so I'm not sure the PFF stats are quite right. The line played well enough for us to win yesterday. Wasn't pretty, but they were not the reason for the loss. Several of those hurries seemed to be HH being unaware of where the pocket in front of him was and didn't trust his eyes & feet while being in there. The 4:26 mark is a perfect example where the line creates a decent pocket, but by the time HH completes his dropback, he's already thinking scramble and he runs right into a sack.

It might be easier if you just found a new team to support. Georgia still letting people on their wagon. Despite this you’d probably still find a way to criticize them if they didn’t win 70-3 each week

i saw a comment on twitter that i can't find again...but maybe someone here can tell me if its true or not. they said last years offensive line gave up 26 sacks.....then sanders ran them all off and replaced then with transfers and this years line has given up 40 sacks so far. i've seen suggestions that we should do what col sanders did but that seems to have backfired on him

Wisconsin's starting QB got injured midway through the Iowa game and has been out the past 2 games. I think Braelon Allen was also out vs. Indiana, and seems to go off the field a lot during games with some type of "injury". This is a very average Wisconsin team.

For the most part, Nebraska played very similarly against Michigan State to how they did against the teams in October. The key differences against Michigan State were: Secondary didn't play as sharp as they have earlier in the season, and let up a few big plays Credit Michigan State's QB and WR's for making some big throw and catches which Illinois, Northwestern, and Purdue didn't Michigan State added a couple of trick plays to play off NU"s tendencies to be aggressive to the ball, especially from the secondary, One of those worked, and one of them was broken up by a big play from Sanford Michigan State scouted the G-Belly option pass and regularly kept a safety deep. Against NW and Purdue, NU got a WR wide open behind the defense by the design of the play, and that didn't happen against Michigan State. Finally, this game was on the road, where there wasn't a home crowd to boost the energy of the players. Yes, Illinois was on the road, too, but that game was a week after Rhule laid down the gauntlet after playing so poorly against Michigan. While that extra hard week of practice worked against Illinois, it's not something the coaches can do every week. In these games against evenly matched teams, which the bulk of these middle to bottom half of the Big Ten are, the games come down to a handful of plays to determine the winner. NU made (or the opponent didn't) those plays in October, and they didn't do that against Michigan State.

Colorado State also played safe and didn't go for a 4th and 1 from CU's 40 when a first down would have won them the game. CSU lost that game as much as CU won that game. Although I do give credit to Shedeur for driving CU down for that tying TD against CSU. Local media in Denver is starting to realize that Deion may not be all that and is giving him criticism today.

When Raiola was hired I didn't expect much development on the offensive line since he has never proved he could develop linemen. I just expected it to be a long shot gimmick to get his nephew. And hey what do you know, not much development on the offensive line the last couple years, and no nephew. It's not so much that he's not meeting impossibly high expectations. The problem is we're getting precisely what we should have expected.

So fair catching at the 5 and 7 is now "safe"? I think I would chance it because either way you're QB is in the end zone if he has to throw. Going with common sense here because the ball will bounce into the end zone, to either side or gain us yards, a chance I would take 100/100 times.

This one.

Haarberg is not the guy. Sims is not the guy. The problem is "the guy" does not currently exist. There is nobody else. The line is still terrible. The special teams had an absolute dog. I don't really understand the point of using Kemp if we are just gonna Panico him. Field position was awful all day. The punter was terrible as well. The officiating..... holy christ. I kind of got the feeling Nebraska just expected to turn up today and win. At no point did they appear to match MSU's intensity, effort, or desire. It seemed like it was penciled in as an easy win. And with the way this offense has been performing, no such words should ever be uttered. Perhaps we can shut down the division talk, at least for a little while. They have to convince me they can beat Iowa and Wisconsin. Both are gettable, but so was this game today.

1978 Oklahoma when TO finally got over the hump

HH is worse. He just got play vs crappy teams.

Seems like he just wants to pad Shedeur's stats
