  1. I am not going to argue if Riley is the right man for the job here. No one is going to convince people who think he isn't that he is. But I don't think that make them not true husker fans..cuz they question things. And the people who think he isn't are not going to convince other people they are not wearing blinders etc. Hopefully everyone here wants the Huskers to win. I am done being upset about the way the team looked last week. I'm drinking the kool-aid again. It's good. THAT IS WHERE MY CONFIDENCE COMES FROM. Huskers do it easy this week

  2. I wasn't a big Riley fan when hired either. Keep hoping things will change but have to agree with California on most points. I am not calling for Riley to be fired but IMO if that were to happen Eichorst needs to go too. :bigredn: 4 ever

    Honestly, ask yourself the question:   if we played them again, do you think we would do better or would they do better?    I would say that we probably played about as well as we can play and that wasn't good enough to deserve to win.   If we played again, it would likely be just as difficult to win.  This was no fluke on Ark State's part.  They played well and we played "well" as we could apparently.  There are just no excuses that you can really find to hang your hat on.    It seems to me, NU may have gotten the better of it in terms of the officiating calls.  They had a TD taken away and we got the goody on a couple of ify penalties as well.  

     

    Who do you think is worse than NU in the big ten at this point, based solely on first week game performance?

    Can I answer that next week?

    I think most are not all that upset by the offense and will give it some time to get to running on all eight cylinders, but the glaring lack of success on the defense was beyond alarming!  Yes, the defense didn't give up the punt return TD nor the safety.   But the defense gave up nearly 500 yards of offense which is at least 150 too many and to a team that at best can be compared to the weakest in the Big Ten (which may be the Huskers as we played well enough to lose deservedly).  I honestly have to say that in this game, the best team lost.  That is the most disconcerting thing of all.    Ark State walked out of ourt stadium heads held high and proud while our guys should have felt exactly the opposite.   

     

    Thanks God for the good punts and field goals and all but one kick off.  But we had way too many penalties and miscues.  Those can be chalked up to first game mistakes except that we had a full week of extra practice and we were at home.  The mistakes and miscues continued well into the second half.  The jitters and deer in headlights looks were well over with by then too.   We played very few guys whose names were unfamiliar and would simply be not ready for prime time player status.   '

    I think there are 2-3 teams in the Big Ten Arky State could beat.
