This program is bigger than any one person. Fire Dewitt, fire Chinander. Get Ruud in as interim DC and find somebody else to handle ST duties. We need a Brent Venables/Kevin Steele splash hire. Pay the next DC $3 million a year. f#&% it!

If you really don't want the computer, I'll take it!

It's obvious SF is playing scared with his play calling. One more offensive turnover probably ends up in the L category for us.

I'd take Bruce Read over freaking Jovan Dewitt right now.

We're better than this. If a bowl is in jeopardy, I'm looking at about half the assistants he brought here from UCF that are just not ready for P5 level, IMO.

We've been hearing he's the smartest with the playbook. Let's see if he is the smartest QB. I think that is what we need more than anything right now. Clean football, no mistakes.

In comes Luke.

Let's go BLACKSKIRTS!

It's like these guys are trying so hard not to lose they f#&% up so much. The whole team needs to just play loose, free, and go balls to the wall.

I disagree I think if a player goes down two consecutive times in one half, they should sit the 2nd half for player safety. That would eliminate this 'scuba' loophole.

Because the OL can't set it up.

So you'll say the same thing when he throws a pick on this drive?

I don't know anymore. Maybe it's time to give Luke a shot.

Of course. I've been suspect of Dewitt and Chinander more than anyone.

This defense just seems worse than last year. We can't get any pressure, guys are constantly out of position again and again and forgetting fundamentals. Why are we so undisciplined?!

Hard to do if they're throwing it in 2-3 seconds. Need better coverage, too. But even when they do have time, we still can't get a pass rush.

Wow this defense is way too soft.

Watch for QB keeper here. Sell out to stop the run.

I wouldn't be surprised if they continued to regress. But we'll see. A win here would be huge for the development of the team. Without Martinez, I don't like our chances.

I miss just lining up with a heavy set and pounding a defense into the ground with 5-6 yard runs that eventually turned into 30, 40, 50+. Not this spread RPO stuff trying to be like every other team in CFB. The option was awesome to see. I think it could still work but in today's game as an extension of the passing game but you've got to have some sort of vertical threat. I think as CFB evolved, that yes, players got smaller, you now see LB's that are glorified hybrid safeties and some linemen who look like they could be LB's back in the 80's and 90's. But back to offense, Osborne had a vertical passing game with some decent WR's throughout his coaching career. Could all this stuff work in Lincoln? I think so. It was easier to snag Nebraska kids to come play here also when we ran a power run/option scheme. The high schools in Nebraska tried to emulate that. It didn't require a ton of talent to do it but you needed some run blocking offensive linemen which we never seem to run out of back then. Remember, most of the starters on offense during our last NC, a majority of them were Nebraska kids. I find it difficult to see the SF offense producing players like that here in our own state. There could be a spurt or two. He's going to have to bank on kids outside the state to turn things around here. Tall order if you ask me. He needs much better recruiters/assistants at Nebraska. This isn't Florida where we can get high 3 and low 4 star guys who aren't being recruited by multiple other Nebraska football programs. Ryan Held barely scratches the surface as a top 50 recruiter in the country. That concerns me. These guys are over performing as recruiters, so we'll see in the next few years if things will improve. Still believe SF will need to adjust his offense and defense to the B1G.

I wish our running backs could find room to run.

I don't think we can consistently recruit the kind of talent to Nebraska to continuously run the SF offense however, there's this little part of me that believes he could turn this place into a football factory like Bama/Clemson. He's just gonna need a little more breathing room to do it though, IMO. The real question is whether or not this fan base has the patience for that.

He failed on the grass. Both of them.

I guess 4-4 is good enough for you then.
