The Maudfather

This is exactly right. Anyone who expected last night's game to be close must've watched the first four games with rose colored glasses. We don't have the depth and we don't have the skill to play with Ohio State. That's just the reality of where we are. It's going to take time. The sky is not falling.

Lol, it'll start with football

We doing this thing Saturday or nah?

Wandale is goooooood

Hard to get mad at s#!tty ball security?

I'll say it again. This team f#&%ing sucks.

LFG NEBRAKSA BACK

This team f#&%ing sucks.

Hopefully we don't come out with the 3rd quarter yips.

Same old problems. Different week. Ball security is something we'll never master. Mills is bad. Honestly, sprinkle in Rhamir or get Wandale more involved in the run game. The fact that Martinez is somehow slower this year is boat anchoring our offense.

Credit the staff on this pick up. When's the last time we pulled a 4* db out of Florida with an offer list like his?

Yeah, dude. We went 4-8 in back to back seasons. I don't think we're overlooking anyone.

After seeing how close NIU played Utah last week, I really doubt we see the back ups. If we continue our offensive woes, this game could be a dog fight. We'll find out about this team's character tomorrow. If they come out flat, turn the ball over, get beat at the point of attack, then we know we're in for a long season. If we come out, handle business and win by 3 possessions, then we start to build momentum. Until they prove otherwise, I'm going to assume this team is going to struggle.

I agree with this. Saturday's loss was awful and struck a nerve with Husker Nation. That being said, I'm in it for the long haul. I'd much rather give Scott a lifetime contract and watch this thing play out for 20 years than hop on the coaching carousel 5 times in the next 2 decades. If we can't get this thing figured out with Scott, then I'm not sure we ever will.

Please delete this thread.

I admire your courage, OP. I'm not touching a rewatch on this one.

This team needs a talk similar to Leach at TT:

I agree with this comment and that makes me sick to my stomach.

I don't think Martinez is thinking to himself "Gee, I wonder who hasn't caught a pass today?" when he is making his reads. He's doing exactly what every other quarterback is trying to do when he drops back - find the read. And he's not doing a very good job of it right now.

Amazing how this mentality is still an issue. This team hasn't earned a f#&%ing thing. Colorado was never just going to roll over for them. Going 4-8 in back to back seasons and then taking your foot off the gas after a 17 point lead is how you go 4-8 again.

I'm not sure that this team is better than last year's. Defensively, probably, but we've regressed so much on offense. This season has started, essentially, exactly the same as last year's team. Last year's opener was cancelled -> This year's opener was too close for comfort (probably the way Akron would have gone) Game 2 was a gut wrenching home loss to the Buffs -> This year, a gut wrenching road loss where we may have had more fans than CU in the stands. This team still has the mentality of a 4-8 team.

If you'll scroll up, you'll see that my comment was in response to another poster talking about the team's response and their psyche.

Wait. I thought this was the message in the offseason?

Don't get me wrong, I like the talk, but that is all it is. That's all it has been.
