Dogs In A Pile

I'd be very happy if we could go 2-1 over the next 3 games. Honestly, I think 1-2 is more likely though.

This is going to be a tough road game coming off the road game at OU. Hopefully we don't get too beat up in Norman this week.

NU - 20 OU - 49 Rush - 97 Pass - 168

Buffalo - 34 Nebraska - 27 Rush - 195 Pass - 220

It was ruled OOB and returned to the original LOS. When I saw the replay I couldn't believe it was ruled incomplete. Should have been 1st and goal at the 1 yard line or a TD. I understand it was late in the game and we were up big but regardless I think they have an obligation to get the calls right. I'm sure Smothers & Brown would have liked to have the call be correct.

But my thought was to use him in short yardage situations or near the goal line where they know he will get the ball and blocking isn't required.

I'd like to see more Yant even if it is situational. In the little we've seen him he appears to the hardest runner and hardest to bring down.

If Lance Leipold was still there along with the 16 players who transferred out after he left it would do a lot more to move the needle for me. But as it stands, we don't really know much about this team and their new coach so it will be hard to get too excited about a win. If it a thorough annihilation by the Husker that would be encouraging but won't really change how I look at the rest of the season.

That pretty much sums up HCSF tenure at NU unfortunately.

Hate it for the kid as I really enjoyed watching him run. Best back in the B1G from what I have seen.

I see the line opened at NU -11. I guessing it will move down similar to Illinois. Should be an interesting game. Could go a long way in boosting the team's confidence for OU the following week. On the other hand, a loss would be a second devastating blow and would likely mean a 1-3 start which would make it extremely difficult to make it to a bowl. DVR set.

I think we learned about as much from the Fordham game as we learned from the Buffalo Bulls win over Wagner(?). Nothing. In both games the winners were way over matched against their opponents. But it was nice to see the team finally roll for a change and win the game in convincing style.

I guess a lot of people didn't catch it since it was the third replay they showed after the following play.

Not pick him up and drive him into the ground after the initial hit which he clearly did. Whether we like or dislike the current rules is irrelevant. They are the rules of the games and unless you have access to the Wayback Machine you have to play by the rules or expect to get flagged.

Well, with everything going on off the field with Frost I think he's going to need every penny he can get.

I was going to bring this point up. We are already seeing the results of 3 losing seasons under HCSF in the 2022 recruiting class. Currently, we're ranked last in the B1G and the only school besides Illinois without at least one 4 star recruit. Another year like the first 3 (which is looking likely from seeing the first game) and if you retain Frost things will really get ugly on the recruiting trail

At this point I think we would be better off if they could just find somebody to make smart decisions and hang onto the ball. Stop fielding punts while backpedaling inside the 10 yard line. I wonder if Santino Panico has any eligibility left.

There was a replay clearly showing him driving Sitkowski into the ground. It was the 3rd replay they showed after the following play was run. An elevated view from behind. I too thought it was a bad call until that replay but upon seeing it there was no question it was the right call and an inexcusable play by Tannor. And to add insult to injury he followed up the roughing with an unsportsmanlike conduct to give Ill. another 15 yards. Dumb, dumb, dumb but what we've come to expect from Frost's teams.

I totally on board with this. Hopefully Trev can begin to right the ship soon.

The bright spot for me is I don't get upset at losses anymore and actually end up chuckling at some of the more stupid things they pull off almost every game. In the TO era a loss like yesterdays would have a devastating effect on me.

You put the ball on the carpet as much as AM does and it is only a matter of time before a defender is in position to scoop & score. Not bad luck, just that probability catches up to you eventually. BS. That roughing call was a text book example of the rule. You could take the video of the play and use it as an example of the violation. Bad luck? No. Either poor coaching or more likely just another in a long string of bone headed plays by a Nebraska player. The NCAA says this is prohibited:

I had us at 5-7 even thinking this game would be a win (though I came to my senses this week and picked Ill in the weekly contest). Still think they can get 5 wins although 3-4 wouldn't surprise me.

The 9 wins were fine, it was Pelini's clown show that did him in.
