No but he needs to do a thorough evaluation across the board and be prepared to make some tough decisions.

Same story. Too many errors. Too many missed opportunities. All this team does is try. Listen to the coaches you'll hear a lot of it too (try). Week in and week out. They don't yet know how to win. I think the potential is there. What seems so close proves to remain far away. Scott's going to have some tough choices to make.

I voted late. Had it a 31-17 win for the Huskers. Really disappointing today...

Northwestern isn't terribly good this year. Yant can run and is fun to watch. If it weren't for our errors we'd have one or two more wins than we do now. We're improving.

Keeping the foot on the GAS!

Yes we have many "issues". We have a lot going for us too. I'll be rooting for and not against the team. Thank you!

31-13 HUSKERS!

It's harvest time. Farmers are always interested in good part time help during the season!

Nothing. We learned nothing. We do not know how to win. We know how to self-destruct.

5-7 point win. The game will determine whether a signature win or not. It should take off the heat down a couple notches. If we play well in all phases of the game winning by 10 or more, I'd say so. Beating Michigan or Iowa would be signature wins in my opinion.

I look at it this way. We have various legitimate issues. And is some way's we're coming around. If a person has a criticism, that doesn't mean the person or what is being criticized is horrible. Only that things need to be addressed. And, things often aren't always as they seem which can be taken into consideration as well. The Oklahoma game was a good game! If things are 85% percent of what they need to be, that's significant. In addition, the remaining 15% while not the majority is limiting and critical. In reality, it's more like a pie that expands the stronger the team is. We just have to adjust our trajectory some what that entails. We're still not scoring enough. There was more rhythm with the offense in each of the last two games. So there's some momentum to build on there!

A person can buy a lot of cigars and blow a whole lot of smoke with $375,000.00!

It sounds like you want pressure and disruption. He's working with what he has. And is doing well! I don't care how he gets the most out of his unit. I'd say his adjustment to the Big 10 has been good. He might not be getting it done as we might like/prefer. Sure we need to plug in pressure. Now go out and recruit develop those pieces.

Too me, it seems the team played better with some of the pressure off of them. Aside from the kicking element, the game was encouraging. I'll have to watch the highlights again to form an opinion on the offensive line play. Not where we need to be with blocks. The general sense I got was that it was better. Considering the quality of the opponent, that would be notable. Those penalties certainly were frustrating. Martinez played well. Was good to see Manning make some big contributions.

I've been hearing two and three back set talk for about a month. Maybe this is the game we start seeing some of the plays out of the bag of tricks too.

38-19 OU Scott goes for up tempo passing AND running schemes. : )

6-6 I can live with. 4-8 I cannot. It'll probably be 5-7. Originally I had us winning Illinois, Fordham, Buffalo, Michigan State, Northwestern, Purdue and Iowa with Michigan close. That could be a pivotable win making 7-5 still possible. Right now that's looking pretty tough to accomplish. I want to beat Iowa BAD so a friend of mind can quit his squawking. lol Edited to add that I think Dan Mullen is a bit strange cat and I'm glad he's not here. And, Scott needs to upgrade some of his supporting cast.

38-19 OU Competing against Oklahoma at their level is going to be terribly difficult for us. With the way the O-line and special teams play has been performing. Our best hope is getting some good field position and capitalizing with a good enough running game to help the passing game work effectively. I fear we'll get pretty one dimensional. Perhaps a running game with the option gets going with some plays out of the bag of tricks and favorable field position. This defense is good and they can't continue to carry the load for this team as they do against this caliber of opponent. It's going to take more than Adrian and Samori on the offensive side to challenge. Anything can happen though. Maybe we'll see some successful wrinkles they've been saving. I'd like a clean game with few errors and big big effort.

Buffalo isn't that good offensively. Their defense is definitely their strength. On top of the offensive line continuing to underwhelm, our receiving core is getting considerably banged up. Our defense will continue to carry the load throughout the remainder of the season. Along with Adrian and Samori. Our games are mysteriously peculiar. As if I shouldn't have recognized this already.

Close games might be few and far between the remainder of our season. Go for it every time!

Wow...

He'll be a solid head coach for them.

C'mon Gabe, let's get another big one.

Yay Gabe!

You got that right! Agree with everything you've said. He shows up bringing the right attitude committed to improving. That's more than half the battle right there.
