When your point guard can't make free throws and you have a tie game at home with 15 seconds left, and coming out of a timeout you can't even get a shot off ...results like this are going to happen...

"The defense should likely keep Neb in every game minus OU and Ohio State. This season will depend entirely on whether or not the offense can finally put it together." I know that this is the prevailing sentiment and getting a lot of run (And I certainly hope it's correct); But I'm just a bit worried that the defense's progress came in the last handful of games against really pedantic offenses.

Learning from Fred??

Now HCFH has covid? Man, this team cannot catch a break!

Plus 3 transfers in early.....

That, AND the fact that the tone was set with the very first play call.....

Hung on for the win, but lost Izzy at the end to injury....

Yeah, plus the entire Buffalo football experience is reminiscent of the Husker teams of yore, including long suffering "only game in town" fans feeling it's hard to catch many breaks.....

The numbers and the name are reminiscent of recent Wisconsin linebackers.....

It may not be his intent, But it looks like he's too casual.

Good luck to him. It's also fortuitous that he's not leaving an empty room behind...

That those are all valid points. I was only commenting because all reports say he is the most natural thrower of the three, and both Luke and AM seem manufactured with their motions. Regardless, it didn't happen and I hope Smothers is not disillusioned enough to become impatient.

Probably an inaccurate modified on my part calling it garbage time. I was thinking of having him inserted at some point in some game, much like we used Luke in set situations earlier in the year. Just an opportunity to get his feet wet in a year when no one assertively took control of the job. Even at Rutgers, with Luke in street clothes, I'd have liked to see him get some sort of shot.

So what explains their lack of interest in getting Smothers on the field even in garbage time?

Woeful exhibition all the way around start to finish.....

Probably is the right decision, but be prepared for a lot of national backlash resurrecting their disdain for us once again....

The portal is an ideal place to pick up a solid running back.....

So will BB be all IN for the trip to Ireland?

We've got plenty of guys who can shoot them.... what we need are guys who can make them...

I am not making predictions. Just pointing out the fact that, with no minimums, there is still an awful lot of chatter about Nebraska negotiating behind the scenes. That's all I'm saying and I guess we'll have to wait and see, although if I were a betting man, I would gladly take that thousand to one odds.

This year there is no minimum required wins for both eligibility.

That's because Fridays are walk-throughs.....

Probably silly to even wonder if the B10 even gave consideration to changing the location to Lincoln, where it will be relatively seasonal..?

Weirdly, still some lingering chatter about a bowl IF a "W" on Friday...

Regardless of our worth (and by the way I disagree with being 14th cuz I believe Michigan has actually checked out, where we're at least giving some effort); there are some tangible benefits to getting a home game, one of which is not having a limited roster (with given our injury situation), We seem to need a lot of bodies), and one last chance for some others to at least put on the uniform instead of being left at home. Also miffed that Iowa (whom many are calling the second best team in the conference) gets rewarded with Michigan? What happened to the hierarchy of records moving down in accordance with the standings?
