  1. This is who Nebraska is now. They consistently find ways to lose
  2. Yep. I think him still playing while injured or in pain is the definition of being tough.
  3. 4-3 or 3-4 doesn't matter. Both can work, if you have the players. Both can fail, if you don't have the players. Last year didn't work because we were missing some players. Bo's defense also wasn't very good towards the end of his tenure, because he was missing some players.
  4. Not sure about this. Alabama is used to playing for championships. They don't want to be in a bowl game that means nothing. I imagine a lot of their starters won't even be playing.
  5. What's the deal with the donation? I have read it is mandatory. If so, it isn't a donation, it's a fee.
  6. That's pretty specific. I feel like you have done this before...
  7. Good defense. Good defense is fun to watch. I think back to the 2009 Big 12 Championship, or even the 2009 season, and wonder what would have happened if we had even a decent offense. I remember watching games with friends, and we dreaded when the offense was on the field. We always joked Watson was keeping things vanilla to unleash all the good plays at the end of the year. Then they scored 33 or whatever it was against Arizona. Good times
  8. Yep. Both. The answer is both. And special teams. I would add to my post, but you did a good job summarizing my thoughts. Hopefully the drastic improvement happens
  9. I cried a little bit re-reading this thread
  10. I feel like when he was at UCF, he was more aggressive, but I could be wrong
  11. Having a couple pass rushers would help bullet points three and five
  12. Sacks are only one measure of getting after the QB. I watched the games. It's not a narrative to say that many of the QBs we faced had plenty of time in the pocket, waiting for receivers to get open. 27 sacks is decent, but if that's all, or close to all the times you pressured a QB, that's not very good.
  13. People want to view negativity and a one sided view of things? Okay, yeah, you're right. Nevermind
  14. That makes sense. This team doesn't have anyone on the roster that can rush the passer. I don't remember the last time Nebraska did. Gregory?
  15. Anything to get clicks/reads. That's kind of how the media is now.
  16. Texas has always baffled me. I have seen good coaches go there, and get fired from there. They seem to constantly under perform, which is weird considering they have great athletes on the team. I would take many of their players for Nebraska. I would assume it has something to do with the administration?
  17. I also don't know how anyone could say McCaffrey is a better QB. He's definitely good at running the option, but I haven't seen him throw enough to know if he's good at that. 12 passes isn't enough to determine that.
  18. I think it was definitely deceptive. I didn't think McCaffrey was coming in the game to throw the ball, considering most of his previous plays were runs. Iowa obviously thought the same thing, because JD was wide open
  19. Completions don't necessarily mean good passes. I guess my main point was that we have seen a lot of McCaffrey running. We have seen very little of his passing. I'm not really sold on his passing ability yet given the small sample size.
  20. Agreed. I'm not sure why we would consider firing Moos. He has done nothing but hire what was seen at the time as the best available.
  21. Honestly, having a kicker that can kick it out of the endzone on kickoffs would do wonders. The FG kicker looked good, especially considering he was a soccer player before. I don't think he has missed anything yet. Is he back again next year? The interior of the line improved during the year. Especially Jurgens. I know Jaimes is back, but I was never a huge fan of his, but he did okay against a really good pass rusher. Farniok should slide inside, so hopefully Benhart can step up at RT. One thing I have noticed with this staff is that they do go after skill positions, but the lines are not being neglected in the process. I honestly have no idea what to expect from the defense next year. We are losing a good chunk of production from that group on all three levels.
  22. Yeah, it's hard to tell how McCaffrey is at passing. He's had some real bad passes, so he will need to work on that in the off season. He's definitely a great option QB. I am still interested to know whether Martinez is injured. He hasn't looked right running or passing the ball for a while now. The good news is that the QB position has some depth now. I just hope whoever gets beat in the spring/fall for the number one spot sticks around. I can't remember the last season Nebraska has made it through the season without the starting QB getting injured.
  23. I don't know you, so I don't know if you have inside information. I personally do not know or talk to any of the major donors, but this makes sense to me, and I think he should have more time. A lot more time. An additional five years, minimum. I'm tired of the coaching carousel. I'm willing to give him and his chosen staff time. That being said, it doesn't mean I have to be happy with the results on the field. Nebraska should have won two to four more games this year, but couldn't get it done.
