That's assuming that all that are committed are still committed. We just saw one today move to a different school. I'm assuming others may follow. Getting down another 8-10 players isn't going to to tough over the summer. (Remember this is what Husker fans have been wanting for quite awhile. oversign, and process out the dead weight as well as we can.)

Rhule mentioned in the McAfee interview that the Retire option is still on the table for several players. I think he said there was a week or two remaining to make that happen. I don't recall the specifics.

A couple of things in hindsight are red flags. Didn't want to play against tOSU Didn't care for the spotlight at tOSU Didn't like that he was asked to battle for the starting QB for bowl game. But, what do I know. All three of those are probably the reason why he didn't chose Nebraska. And everyone has said it in many different ways, but he wanted to be guaranteed a starting QB role, and once DR came into the picture that wasn't the case any more.

There is no 2nd transfer however. The only time a player can do a 2nd transfer is with a coaching change or Graduate transfer. The hard luck cases have been shot down quite a bit recently. (see TE from Georgia that came here last year)

If you look at the QBs in the portal last year. It was not great. And the ones that were great I don't think wanted to be apart of a year one transformation. This year's crop of QBs in night and day different. https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/top/football/2023/?position=qb

Or, if nothing else raise the market value so other programs are left out of the running.

If this kid was coming in as a HS recruit this board would be salivating over him. But since he is in the portal he must suck. smh

Just by looking at the arm sling. I'm guessing shoulder, arm or hand. (hello captain obvious here!)

Would it have mattered if the 2020 Covid year team accepted the bowl bid that they were offered? In hindsight was that a mistake. I know that was a miserable year all around, but what could have been?

I'm not sure using South Dakota State as the example is probably the best one. They are probably better than half the teams in the BIG West, and he failed miserably playing against said teams. But I get what you are saying.

I mentioned in another thread on the main football page. But having Benhart and Scott stick around another year, possibly. Would pay huge dividends in getting these younger guys a chance to learn and grow. Getting back to the days that these incoming OL learned and beefed up for at least 2 years will be huge in the long run.

Maybe I'm wrong but Rhule or anyone on the Athletic staff is not supposed to have ANY input in how the NIL money is being spent. I'm not sure how it all works, and to me there has to be some discussion, but they can't just go. "We want <insert QB here> go get em"

If those two guys come back that is one more year of seasoning that the younger guys can get in the bag as well. Get back to the point of having your offensive line be made up of 3rd, 4th and 5th year guys. Not 1st and 2nd year guys. That's when things start to get fun on the line

Well, of course if you take away a team's best plays then their stats will suffer. Seems like a bad argument to make. The reason why the RB game wasn't as successful this year as it could of been, is because we had no passing game what so ever. The QB runs work, because he is the only one that can run free. The few times other teams "spied" our QB we were able to hit a few big pass plays to get them right back out of that, but it didn't happen nearly enough. That's also the reason why HH's running wasn't nearly as effective as the games went on.

Can't speak for Mav, but given the situation, yes the offense did ok. They were at 3rd string for all of the skill positions halfway through the season, and half the line was 2nd string. Not to mention that the offense was meant to play complimentary football to the defense. IE like Iowa The biggest and largest complaint almost everyone has, has been the turnovers. And that is an issue that only talent will fix at this point.

I'm not able to access the tweet here at work, but Pot Roast had a nice tweet about the snub.

Rhule has stated that he has never had, nor never will have a high flying offense. It will always be defense first and a collaborative offense (not the right word, but I'm going with it) I'd be curious, on Satterfield's offensive ranks how the corresponding defensive ranks where?

Also is an indicator of how deep the BIG10 is in defensive talent. My goodness.

I almost believe, given all that we have heard, that was by default. He was the only one healthy at QB in the spring and fall. HH wasn't even on the radar at QB in spring.

Grant was hurt in OT.

Interesting that only 3 of those have happened at home.

Agreed. You play to your greatest strength. How many games have we lost over the past 10 years. (including against Wisconsin) where we do score, but leave to much time on the clock. and the other team drives down in less than 90 seconds and scores to win. My god people.

There will not be any coach fired after the season, unless said coach pulls a drunken disaster.

I wasn't pissed at any of it. This was an out fricken standing game that Nebraska has not played in for a LONG time. Yes it sucks to lose, but I would argue this is the first time in a very long time Nebraska lost a tight game because they just got beat by a better team. Not because they found a way to lose it, like they have so often in the past 6 years. put down the beer and go to bed.
