Bingo! And if Sims doesn't s#!t himself NU wins this game (and Minnesota) and all these negative posters are signing a different tune about both Rhule and Sanders. I wonder if CU ends 7-5 if they'll all still believe Sanders is the 2nd Coming.

After 2 games i can see vast improvement on D and some (not enough) improvement with O-line. Ervin is running well, and while I know this isn't the most talented receiver group, outside of that one drop today, they've been decent. Unlike many, I'm fairly happy with what Satterfield has brought to the table. except for... This is a 2-0 team if not for Sims. Dude is killing this team. And unfortunately it doesn't appear there's a viable backup. Just hope the rest of the team can continue to play well and improve despite this elephant in the room. Would hate to see the entire season get tanked cuz of one position (albeit the most important one).

Hate that the D has packed it in. Looked like crap that possession.

Hope not, but can't argue with the thought.

Wow! Somebody made a play this drive.

Now I'm getting angry with the D. No one wants to make the game changing play when it's there.

Didn't the punter get run into there?

Wouldn't shock me

Don't understand what the DBs are being taught to do in terms of letting these receivers get behind them.

Don't know if I've ever seen a husker team this good on D and this bad on O. Closest is maybe 2010, but O wasn't this bad.

I miss Adrian Martinez.

One guy is killing this team

This QB. Geez

Why the fucj was that not reviewed

New staff, some new players, and still the dumbest team in the country. SMH

Finally Kemp wised up and didn't fair catch at the 5.

Bad call

Buscini punting like crap.

Really wish that receiver had kept going towards the outside instead of slowing to cut inside.

From where or when is CFN getting that line?

The OP isnt wrong. Yet, wonder if pushing them back 5 yards really changes the outcome. Hartzog made a bad play.

Thought the post game presser was solid - both the questions and responses. He didn't duck anything and tried not to bad-mouth the players. Obviously, he'll run out of responses if losses in this manner continue to be the norm.

I guess I'll be the dissenter in this thread too. Based on simply the play calls, I thought it was fine. Before the fire drill at the end of first half, that was a TD. On the FG drive, the play called dead on the false start, from about the 5 yard line, looked good to score or at least get them down to the 1. Then that early fourth quarter sequence,, I've seen some complain about, was there. Somehow the big strong QB limp wristed the pass. Next play, receiver wide open in the middle and pass gets tipped. Now depending on if Satterfield was responsible for the following, his GPA drops for me. The end of half fire drill was completely unnecessary. 30 seconds left, inside the 1, 1 timeout. Couldn't understand why the TO wasn't used there. Settle everyone down. Run the Jalen Hurts QB sneak for 6. Leave 20 seconds on the clock for UMs inept offense. If by some miracle Sims gets stopped, next play was already called during timeout (run it again or spike to stop clock). Understanding the capabilities of the personnel. If there was indicators of Sim's passing being that bad, then yes, needed to call better situation plays (I doubt he/staff thought Sims would be THAT poor). Then of course the idea of having a known fumbler in a crucial part of the game was a major miss. All in all, I thought player mistakes at crucial times were more the culprit on offense than the play calling.

Yeah, hard for me to understand why the coaching staff felt like his run game was so much more important than what looks to be a clear inability to chuck it.

I'll be the first to look like the donkey and say I expected improvement in the areas Rhule specifically called out as areas of focus: redzone offense and critical penalties/turnovers. Not only were things not better, but appeared to be even worse. After 1 game, i'm not indicting Rhule or the rest of the staff, nor has my faith been shaken long term. But last night was a bad look for those areas.
