lo country

Keep pouring it on HUSKERS!!!!!!!!

Now you're talking.

Watching that option there, looked good. I also really liked how he avoided the contact on the tackle. He "knows" how to drop to avoid that hit.

Hope they keep trying to pass. Akers is a grown a$$ man and is their #3RB.....

I'd feed him all game. Dude is a human battering ram.

Not the first series. Now. Wisky #3 and #4 RB's at Wisky....Looking like we are going to make their RB's look like AA's.....

Hope he is a gunslinger like Ganz. We could do a whole lot worse than another QB like Ganz.

Boom. Heck yea. Great run. Scramble out of the pass. Great call by Satt

Not yet. You'll know when!

Eagle Claw!!!

#22. Who was that?

Holding my breath. Anyone else?

We are due to finally have a team suffer like we have. 3rd string QB Chubba plays lights out. EJ runs like a wild man. Time to do unto others what has been done to us...

We die we die! Hoping this game will be a dog fight like that and our will wins in the end.

Hate to say it. And I am being selfish, but I'd burn his shirt for what he has provided on D.

I have a feeling we finally win this game. D should be locked in. Have a feeling Rhule and Satt really did a deep dive on what we can do routinely on O and have success. We don't need 300 yards through the air. Just enough to keep their D honest and worry about the pass. NU has lost to 3rd string QB's the past 20 years. About time we finally beat a team with our 3rd guy.....GBR.

I can't remember who all is injured (out) vs questionable vs coming back. We getting anyone back for this game?

Penix is legit for sure. No doubt about that. I didn't explain well. Teach them how to make the reads on these easier routes. We are not running complex routes. They are pretty rudimentary. QB's just are not making the reads or not quick enough. Make the first read. It's either open or not. If run correctly, the second route should be good. Like the referenced play with Fidone. Takes a very good QB to progress through multiple reads. Unfortunately, we do not have that guy rght now. Can they learn? Who knows.

Good stuff. I think that's the difference in a "fast blinker". They process very fast. They interviewed Penix last week or 2 on game day and he was going over film. Was running a RPO to the right with a wide out the far left set to do a drag route across the field. Penix said he was watching the safety knowing that he was going to stay :high" and that the CB was responsible for the RB. He snapped, froze the safety with a look to the center. Saw CB start back pedaling then when he went with the RPO saw the CB plant his leg to drive on the RB. Said he knew the receiver in the drag would be wide open running to his "mark". He was. Unsure if that makes sense, but listening to a QB break down their reads and keys is pretty good stuff. We are not there yet, but as you mentioned (limiting routes imho) and getting the QB's to understand the first read they need and then where to go will make a huge difference.

I am hoping two things reverse for NU. 1) NU reverses the trend of US losing to 3rd string QB's no one has even heard of that put up Maddenesque numbers against us. Now other teams get to see what it's like. Purdy goes beast mode, plays like a Heisman finalist, we win and rush the field at Camp Randall.... 2) NU ends it's own losing streak instead of ending Wisky's....MSU.....Maryland.....Now it's our turn to win.

I’d take an old fashion a$$ kicking in a bowl game over another season with no bowl in a heartbeat.

TBH, this is where I am at. Can we get worse? I'm really not sure. What if he can actually sling it. Accurately. Just the routine mediocre routes...Maybe Luke comes out and realizes this is his 1st and last night to start a game and plays like a man possessed and we win. I am also hoping that a full week with Purdy, the staff has drilled down 5-7 routes that he can do in his sleep. Just enough to help move the chains and not let Wisky stack the box.

I'm all N on Luke. Sounds like the type of QB NU would face that went all Heisman on us in the past......Maybe we get lucky and some complete unknown, traveling only because of injuries comes out and can actually sling the rock. catching the DC completely by surprise. Wisky comes out with 11 in the box, we open in 0 personnel and Luke "longball" Longval drops dimes all game long.....Kidding, not kidding.

I’m not trying to say HH is better. But am saying that Thompson staying wouldn’t automatically equate to more wins. Hate to say it, but we are probably closer to FAU talent than what he had at Texas. Better talent, he’s looked better. But it’s a circular firing squad. Did he make his receivers better or did they make him better. If he’s “that good” he should make those better around him. Or better receivers make him look better. But that’s just me. TBH, I was never that high on Casey. Or Sims. Or HH….

Thanks! Revisionist memory. That's a crazy stat.
