I think Colorado comes out not respecting us and gets pushed around.  Our offense looks better (I know not hard) and our defense gets strained.  I think everything goes well until we throw it away at the end.

Goes well until we throw (stop there).

Limiting Colorado possessions and taking advantage when the Cornhuskers have the ball is a must. Run the ball, no turnovers, own the clock, own the game. 

...and don't get cute if something is working. They are loading the box and daring Sims to throw. Get some called rollouts, find the TE's, and use a pump fake if he is going to stare down the WR, for heaven's sake. I almost don't want to watch this. I hate CU and Knee On  

I think knee-on will flame out in a few years and Rhule is a long term solution. It wouldn’t surprise me if all kinds of violations follow Sanders. Free Sneakers U part two.

And if we would have scored a touchdown then they would have been geniuses but fortunately they aren't so that's where we are at.  I just love how it could go either way just based off of one crucial play.

Down 3-0 nothing and the offense being pathetic, you kick the ball. Think Iowa. 

Kicking to tie up the game before half is too hard for these morons. Dumb dumb dumb decision.

343# OL. Yes please! I hope he can move his feet. I love what this staff is doing on paper. I’m actually thinking betting six wins. Yikes. 

I say an "A" for now but subject to change. I love the fact that he finds the hidden gems and has a history of developing players and getting them in the league. He also has a history of getting teams to play like well a team. His recruiting is good on paper right now. I love the idea of a fullback and actual power game of some sorts. I hope this 3-3-5 defense is attacking and starts to hit the QB again and again. He knows what he wants from the OLine and that is refreshing. I am betting the under on six wins, but I believe winning is coming once the foundation is set. 

Isn’t Eckler the one who got hit in the nuts by an errant pass while at NU? 

I’m waiting for Trev to ask for my donation AND my NIL donation for tickets.
 

I guess NU can’t pass the buckets around the stadium like they do for the Red Cross, and then funnel it to 1890 NIL.

Yep!

 

No s#!t.

 

With that said, it is the hardest teaching job.  But still...

 

I got a buddy that is going 3 extra years...to get his "buyout" from his district...of 100K instead of 83K.

It’s also a 60+ hour work week. Prepare on Saturdays too. Sporting/academic/fine art crap is thrown in. Not complaining but it’s not a 9-5, ham and egger job that some make it out to be.

Syracuse defense under White has a big nose & 240 to 270 ends.  Why do we need more than 5 or 6 300 lb. DL players 

My fear is Iowa lines up and blows undersized defenders off the ball. I’ve seen it too much. I’ll trust the new DC knows what he’s doing and what conference he works in. 

I met Torres taking a tour of the stadium. My in-laws are from Texas and he stopped and chatted for a few minutes. Nice kid. Hope he stays. 

Doesn’t seem like we are getting any DT looks. Any thoughts on that? Beefing up the DE? I’m island hopping and good WI-FI for me is spotty at best. I am amazed at how this staff is getting recruits to look at NU though. 

Please tell me he attacks, attacks, attacks as his philosophy. So sick of watching the stand around and watch defense. I want hit the RB on the way the QB. 

I was shocked to see it but if he can coach some nastiness into ‘em…let’s make some pancakes! I’m hoping for some downhill run blocking and hitting in the future. 

I don’t think to many outside of Nebraska give a crap what happens to the former interim coach at NU. It may hurt NU recruiting in the short term, but Rhule seems connected. Hopefully MJ will speak positively about NU if a recruit speaks to him. 
Rhule will clean house and build up a strong foundation of being a fundamentally sound football team (hopefully). 

I was hoping MJ was strangling Frost for leaving such a mess.

Sold me that he wants to win the trenches and develop talent. Music to my ears.

This wasn't his staff! And he was able to accomplish those results.

 

Folks like you make no sense. You're ok diminishing MJ's qualifications for being HC, but the guy we are bringing in had lesser results his first years at Temple and Baylor, and those were teams that at least two years prior had winning records. Rhule went 3-21 his first years at Baylor and Temple respectfully. MJ won 3 games with a staff that wasn't his, and for a team he took over mid season.

 

You can doubt all you want, but if MJ goes elsewhere and becomes a successful HC, I hope he never comes back or looks back. And no one here could blame him for it.

Nebraska has a lot more talent compared to Baylor/Temple at the time. Just a thought

Not sure where the transfer thread is, but Yant basically Tweeted out “Peace Out, Nebraska”

He would have made a good fullback.

When asked about the blackshirts, he said he would give them back and someone else would deal with it. 
Didn’t sound like he was staying.

Who on this board is not thinking here it comes.....KO, we call dumb a$$ plays and go 3 and out.  They drive like they just did and score.  24-21.  They KO rinse repeat....

At least the MJ should-be-the-coach guys will be silent. 

Keep giving him multiple fronts. Make the Oline guess. Cover the TE. 

Is Palmer hurt? 

I will not miss the fair catch when there is some room to run with the new coaching staff gets here.
