Born N Bled Red

Washington definately not as fast as Palmer.

Holy crap!!!! A screen worked!!!

Kept waiting for it to be reviewed, was shocked when it wasn't. ( The forward pass play.)

Wasn't that an illegal forward pass? He was across the line of scrimmage??

The OC is the one who brought in Simms. Yes, Simms is Satterfield's handpicked guy.

What he is doing is adding to, not detracting from the hype. If hs bravado continues and he continues to have success he will have even more luck recruiting, not less.

You have to bench him. I don't care if it leads to a loss next week. This is about culture and accountability, and not being consistent with every player (Ala Washington) is where Frost began to lose the team. Rhule needs to make it clear the culture and expectations are for everyone on the roster or his tenure will end exactly the same as Frost's.

The QB who makes it through the week without a single interception or fumble starts next week period.

Take aways. Start with the less obvious- 1) Against Minnesota we struggled in the defensive line in the first half, Ty Robinson got ejected and the dline looked much better in the second. Against Colorado, the Dline looked great in the first half, Ty Robinson came in for the second half and it looked worse. Lenhardt would be the the starter. 2) Simms should be benched period. I don't care if he has 3 wow moments a game * he's had 3 in 2 games in my opinion* his inability to protect the ball outweighs that. I would much rather have someone incapable wow moments who protects the ball period. Last year's Iowa offense that couldn't score to save their lives, but also allowed the team the opportunity to punt and kick field goals would have won this game. Sims can be wildcat qb period, if that. 3) I'm so God damn sick of refs screwing Nebraska constantly. Stupid reviews to disrupt offensive flow, flags thrown on NU that aren't thrown against the other team for doing the same or worse, and how the hell is holding only a thing if a Nebraska player does it? Uncalled roughing the kicker, the unsportsmanlike call on the NU sidelines, the holding call where the Colorado player was falling and the Oline tripped over top of them, the uncalled late hit on Haarberg that knocked his helmet off, it goes on and on. Just call a fair DUCKING game. 4) WRs are blocking better, catching worse. 5) Satterfield might be a worse playcaller than Brian Ferentz. 6) Raiola, Satterfield and Sims better have resumes ready.

Haha, I said this last week too. Nebraska is settling in offensively, call all the time outs and review every play to disrupt the offensive flow.

So that's what 3 penalties against Nebraska that shouldn't have been called? Holding, unsportsmanlike, forget the 3rd right now... Are these Big 12 refs?

Which one?

In response to JJ Watt, "Refs generally let it slide, unless you are Nebraska in scoring position."

Flip side of it, what if this is reverse psychology? They still have tickets to sell, so they are putting this out there as challenge to Husker fans?

Imagine how much better that would have looked, if instead of following up Minnesota's 3 and out in the 3rd quarter with one of our own, we pounded the rock, ran the clock and got a few first downs.

We will be able to limit them as long as we don't get beat deep. If they connect on that deep ball 2-3 times we won't be able to keep up scorewise, and the defense will start to panic/fall apart. Then it gets ugly.

Getting Raiola, wouldn't have helped any more than getting Joe Burrows under Frost. No offense clicks when the OL can't maintain blocks for passing or running plays. If you want to throw NIL money around to instantly make the team better, go out and find the 7 or 8 best sophomore/junior performing offensive linemen in the nation and make them all millionaires to come play here. In addition to instantly making the team a heck of a lot better, the success they have here and them making it into the NFL will sell future OL recruits on Nebraska's ability to prepare linemen for the NFL helping to build the pipeline to continue to have strong lines going forward.

The thing that I think has gotten lost, and what impressed me most with Sanders is the way he built his staff. The number of former Division 1 head coaches on his staff has to be up there with Bama. Those guys got to be head coaches by excelling at something and as long as Sanders keeps those egos in check (which his ego probably is more than strong enough to do) they can excel at what made them move up the ranks to become head coaches in the first place.

Or holds??

Also, Simms looks exactly like Amart and worse than Thompson. Choke and throw a pick on a game winning drive. New coaches, new qb, same Nebraska.

Minny throws 3 times down 10-3 in the third quarter for a quick 3 and out, instead of pounding it like we had been on the ground, we respond in kind with 3 passes for a quick 3 and out of our own. The game turned.right there.

Only we get called for that and only when we are ready to score.

Our 2nd td stopped by a false start call was more.subtle than that.

Why is the clock.stopped?

You refs defenders better eat your shirts if they give this to Minny and didn't give us the td in the first quarter
