The 1995 Huskers had trouble running on Colorado and the two Kansas squads. We all see those parallels here, right? Right?

Someone tell our center Jurgens didn't get drafted because of wayward snaps. Good drive. Need a fast stop.

OLine needs to be in the weight room after the game. And on the plane.

I thought Cam got drafted?!?!!?

Need to finish this with 7. Would love to see a long run in this quarter. EDIT: By NEBRASKA

The D will be okay. We need 1st series offense right now

Henrich needs to step it up

Not the time, or way, I want to know our punter is good... Let's go D!

The throws are nice. I'm more excited about the decisions. Fast, efficient, check down when needed. This is starting nicely.

Let's go D. Set the precedent that no lead is enough.

YES!!!!

UNTIL WE CAN'T BE BEAT!

I get we covered #1 above, but how did we do it without the best Nebraska back ever?

9 is definitely odd. 8 or 10 would've been ...even...less...odd. I'm out.

A couple surprises - Colton (good surprise and glad to see) and Myles. I view Farmer as one of the weakest DB's in play for a starting spot. I really hope I'm wrong about him, but he has always seemed slow.

That is as masochistic as it comes. Adrian for yet another year... Best wishes at KSU, 2AM. We're as grateful as you this season brought change.

Almost as good as never lost in what he didn't mean.

Welcome to the site, esteemed Husker fan!

Meh. I remember Michele Tafoya, on the sideline of the 1996 Fiesta Bowl, reporting Steve Spurrier and FLA were drawing up new formations and plays the night before the game. New schemes that close to a game, especially based upon what a player states in a presser, won't be effective. Execution > scheme. I say non-issue. NW is going to play to their strengths and try to beat us. I think they'll fail.

Reads like an efficient business trip to me

Can we please beat HIV and Iowa?

No, he'd be gone. I don't want this, but watching the momentum from 2021, through the Northwestern game, has me cautious. Scott has frequently said this team needed to learn how to win. This is from his start as HC. We see in 2021 a team that loses two well played games against OU and MSU (we gave the MSU game away), then blows out NW. There's the taste right there. We then blow the Michigan game. IMO we had to win that to change trajectory. Okay, bounce back time...and Minnesota crushes us in the 1st half. I need to see something different. This is the year with the talent and favorable schedule. I can't bet on it though. Each preseason hype and mid-season blunder has me leery. If it plays out like I guess (not hope), he's gotta be gone.

Voted 6 wins. Just can't predict this team, under this HC, doing more until I see it. Case in point 2021. Lose an OU game where we played pretty well. Then a heartbreaker to MSU where the D dominated the 2nd half. Then the roll on Northwestern. Then the Michigan heartbreak. How do we follow it up? An egg to Minnesota AND Purdue when our strength, the D, could not get key stops. Devastating. 2022 prediction: Scott's "best" year. Multiple close losses. Hard time closing the deal. Northwestern - Win North Dakota - Win Georgia Southern - Win Oklahoma - Loss Indiana - Win Rutgers - Win Purdue - Loss Illinois - Win Minnesota - Loss Michigan - Loss Wisconsin - Loss Iowa - Loss

When do we get the starters? Next week?

I remember the preseason pressers of the coaches chuckling at how much better our team was going into year 2 than year 1. Point? We've heard these things. Scott is out of play calling (right?), and we do have some nice additions to the roster. Cautious optimism is wise.
