I don’t post often, but I felt like I needed to share my take on Sims and the offensive woes last night…

1. We have the worst receiving core in the conference BY FAR. Might sound like an excuse for Sims, but I didn’t see any receivers getting any separation for the most part. That on top of an oline that can’t protect and QB who’s known to make risky decisions, don’t add up to success.

2. We didn’t hand the ball off to Ervin enough. Even if you take away his one big run, he was still averaging 4.7 yards a carry. FEED HIM! (While I’m a “younger” fan, I’m still a RTDB guy.)

3. Give Sims simpler passing plays like quick RPO’s, screens, and let him work outside of the pocket on rollouts. Our best passing plays came on short routes with the 2 minute offense or when we lined up in heavier formations and used play action. So again, hand the ball off more and then use similar looking plays in the passing game.

Overall take: We looked like a tougher team. We didn’t get pushed around like we have in the past by Minnesota. Last year the Gophers won by ramming the ball down the Blackshirts’ throats. We’re prepared to fight in the trenches, unless we’re throwing the ball.

I think a lot of last nights mistakes can be fixed and we can continue to become a decent team by the year’s end. My guess is 5-7 or 6-6 still.

These guys could be an analyst or some back office position, or an assistant strength coach. I’ll wait until Nebraska tweets it to see who the official assistant coaches are.

You have said that about any black HC and the people of Nebraska.  If you keep repeating that, it still doesn't make it true.

Sadly, I live in rural Nebraska and I can confirm that it’s still an issue. I went to a watch party and there were a lot of old racist dudes saying stuff about Mickey…

1. Matt Campbell - I believe his style can win games in the Big10. Good lines, solid fundamentals, and develops players to be better.

2. Urban Meyer - Will immediately bring a winning mentality, but could end in a dumpster fire like Jacksonville...

3. Bill O'Brien - Solid coach. Would probably leave for the NFL or a better job before he finishes his contract.

4. Chris Klieman - Same as Campbell, but with less of a track record. 

5. Mark Stoops - Can recruit and build a team. Just don't know if he would leave Kentucky for more pressure from a football school.

Also, 6. Mickey Joseph - Just don't know what he can do as a head coach. Also, I don't think he wants to build a team like the one that Trev described in his press conference yesterday. Hope he can turn this around to salvage this season as much as possible.

31-21 Nebraska

I’m done seeing this sloppy and poor effort type of football. Who do we hire to replace Frost at the end of this year? Obviously we won’t be a big job anymore after firing our “golden boy”, but we can toss money at some coordinator somewhere.

The question is who though?

This is a copy of what the World Herald did a few years ago, but much worse...

What’s with the flag emoji over his face??

Is it not just weird as hell that the almost infamous game that Scott was booed at, was against UCF?

NeBlastYa???

Honestly, based on both moos’ and frost’s statements it seems that no decision has been made yet. Then you add these rumors on top of everything to further “prove” that Frost won’t know what he is going to do until after the game this Saturday.

Heard from someone who works in the athletic department that after Scott Frost, our number 2 choice is supposedly Lane Kiffin...

It’s pretty well known that he is very close with Chinander (his current D-coordinator) and I’d assume he would come along to Nebraska. He’s from Iowa I’m pretty sure.

The Aaron Taylor quote came from a comment of his on facebook just an FYI

In regards to Scott Frost not wanting to UCF like some of you claim, here is Tom Herman saying he would never leave Houston for more money.

Watching both teams, I definitely think that Nebraska has better athletes, but UCF just looked like they were more fundamentally sound. They didn't make big mistakes and they took advantage of Memphis' mistakes. Also, it looks like UCF's schemes fit the players' talents better than our schemes fit our players.

UCF has been playing sound football against 2 decent teams and 1 OK team. They just looked like a better-coached team than Nebraska does right now I think. But are they coached so much better than us they could beat Nebraska with the talent discrepancy there is?? Not sure 

Read an article on bleacher report about if current recruits can remember your team's last title and apparently 2018 recruits can only remember back to 2007 when LSU won and Tebow won the Heisman.

But the fact that stook out to me was that these recruits were 5 years old when a team west of the Mississippi won the national title. And that was Texas in 2005.

I have a buddy on the team and he says that both POB and Lee are having a very close battle. Could be either one starting next year.

Indiana is the best team we have played yet this season IMO

Just heard from someone that Westerkamp has a very serious injury to his back. MR supposed to hold a press conference in reference to it today.

I disagree with this just because of Lee's experience in college. I see him being the starter and POB being the backup purely because of that. If POB can outplay him, put him in, but I say Lee will be starting because he has YEARS more of experience in D1 ball.

 

 

I really hope POB approaches this the right way because the path doesn't get much easier from here. He's going to go from battling an incumbent senior this year to competing against another guy with substantial division one experience in 2017.

come next season, if POB can't beat out Bush and Lee, he sure will be disappointing.
