Well….I’m glad we have another 5 weeks for this staff to keep improving before we have to play them. 
 

Now, image if we are on a four game win streak at that point. 

Aging better and better...

CB for N!

Iowa/NW totals are 29???

 

My god.

That much?!!

I would comfortably take the under if it was 23.5.

If you told me we'd be 5-3 right now, I'd take it 10 out of 10 times.

 

Purdue has some nice D-ends.

 

The woman sitting at the table next to me at the Husker watch site I was at needed cutoff about 4 drinks before she was...she reminded me of some posters on here. Reminded me why i usually watch games alone.

 

Emmett Johnson has a little wiggle and burst to him.

 

When your Oline isn't very good, you can change them out and not notice very much.

 

Those of you complaining about coaching and play calling need to admit that the long drive on our first TD was great scheme and play calling...with only 3 of our original starters even!

 

Our 2nd TD, the shot after the turnover- we did that a couple weeks ago but missed and then went 3 and out. That day Satt was an idiot that needed fired, so it was still a bad idea yesterday, right? We should've run the ball? Right? 

 

The development of players that we all gave up on has been one of the many impressive aspects of this staff. Coaches are informed and play the long game. Fans can be uninformed and impatient.

 

Defense is balling! They are fast, swarm to the ball, tackle well! I really like how many guys see the field.

 

Ugly winning is better than losing. If Rhule gets this team to a bowl it goes to show how bad previous coaching was.  Each week we get a little closer to ugly winning the west and I'm all about it!

 

 

 

See: Tamon Lynum, Koby Bretz, Tommi Hill, Phalen Sanford, Makai Gbayor, James Williams

All of the names above have been impact players at times on D or ST, and many here on HB had them as cuts on their "Get Down to 85 Scholarship" lists.

There are others like Nash that we knew had potential, but were unsure if they would even get close to reaching that at NU.

While I'm giving shout outs to those who are rarely mentioned... Marco Ortiz!

How long has it been since we have had ZERO complaints about a long snap through the first 8 games?!! He goes unnoticed but does his job well. Special teams improvements start with clean snaps, and we are lucky to have a steady snapper like him.

Wasn't Zander Ruggeroli here this weekend as well..??  believe he is a '24 OT recruit from Bishop Gorman as well..

Bishop Gorman had a whole host of players here this weekend. Would love to see these Mater Dei and Bishop Gorman connections pay off. Similar to what we have been doing with Miami Palmetto.

I will say I prefer a s#!t offense and good defense to a s#!t defense and good offense. 

 

But I am hoping next year we have a good defense and at least a mediocre offense. 

Yeah, take USC for example, and they have a GREAT offense. They have scored at least 42 points in all of their wins. If they don't reach that, they lose. USC pulled a W out 50-49 because of a 2-point conversion stop against a Cal team with 1 decent win. USC's defense is ATROCIOUS, and their B1G record will reflect that next year. Teams are averaging 33 points a game vs them (112 in NCAAF and 9 in PAC-12). Their remaining schedule: #5 Washington, @ #8 Oregon, #23 UCLA. Have fun USC!

I would much rather win with a bad offense and good defense.

Huskers - 20

It seems that we’re hosting a Bishop Gorman party this weekend. I’ll take that anytime.

5 carries for 46 yards and a TD

6 catches for 195 yards and 4 TDs

last week

 

Has an outside chance to be a 1000 yard rusher, 1000 yard receiver and 1000 yard passer this year.

 

Wonder if that's ever been done.

I'd take a 45% TD rate any day...

@Mavric Wrong Thread.

I like what we saw with Johnson in the NW game.  I don't see many more yards he left on the field.  There's a few that I think he could have gotten more if he was faster, but I like how he makes one cut (when appropriate) and gets up field.  

 

 

Another thing I noticed about his runs is he tends to fall forward when being tackled, helping us gain 1-2 extra yards. For example, his run at the 0:25 mark of this video he gets hit hard at the 34, yet somehow makes it to the 36. These yards build up and really help a 3rd and medium become a 3rd and short. In short, I love how he finishes through contact.

Why do we even want to win the West? So we can get curb stomped by Michigan again?  I want a bowl game.  I want to play a team we have a chance at beating and actually get better from playing.  

Why not get both?!!!

Please no….just play good sound football with no stupid coaching decisions.

What! No fake punts in the first quarter or with the lead...

 

How about power read option?

Are we just forgetting the patented onside kick while leading?
