Well that should tell everybody something then.

Every team in college football deals with attrition as well as injuries. The bottom line is that Nebraska has enough talent currently to beat every team that we've played. It's the decision making and personnel decisions that and the overall 'coaching' of this team that has been this teams true downfall. Enough with the excuses....

Nebraska in my opinion has the talent to beat every team we've played so far. 12 returning starters from last year if you want to get technical. With all of the years experience that Riley and his coaches have on their resume's to see the mistakes from the sidelines right off the bat, the head scratching personnel decisions, the erratic play calling, the defensive play and play calling. I guess more than anything it just shows you that experience doesn't always mean being consistently good at your craft. Riley's only hope so far could be the possible emergence of Patrick O'Brien who hopefully will not flip and be here next year. He seems to be the proto type quarterback to fit this staff's historical offensive identity. Westerkamp and Pierson-El will still be here. Then again it wouldn't be the first time a big time Nebraska QB recruit didn't pan out as expected so obviously he's going to have to come here still and prove himself. Beyond that it's not a mind blowing class but they deserve the benefit of the doubt until we can actually see them on the field or get practice reports. Regardless I don't see anything that gives me reason to believe this head coach and staff can turn it around and compete with the big boys of the B1G and that is what the fans truly want myself included.

When Eli is on he is fun to watch.

Win the big game? Riley might need 20 more years to win another game, period. Cheap shot....low blow...show some class

It's probably healthier than the sugar rush that comes from drinking all the kool-aid.

Maryland fires football coach Randy Edsall after 2-4 start.

Nice article on Narduzzi. Ron Cook: The Narduzzi effect has Pitt football feeling right

Wow. A Riliever troll? This is kind of hilariously awesome!

Come on man. The issue isn't with 'playing a freshman'. It's a head scratching move/decision.

You need to change 'top name' coach to 'a good coach'.

I agree with this. Tommy really is as close to Taylor Martinez as you could get in that he probably is a better runner than true thrower. I agree that the team would be better off maybe incorporating some more designed qb running plays or plays that give him the option to run but if Armstrong goes down. Oh man. I seriously couldn't watch. So much inexperience behind Armstrong I just think Nebraska would truly implode. I guess you could argue that the season's a wash so you could just start running him more but I just think it would get downright ugly if he goes down.

I think most people do support the players. I'm not in support of the staff but even if I were or weren't I definitely support the players. No one really gets in trouble except for a few here and there like some kids will do but overall you aren't reading about the players in the papers for bad things as much as at other schools. We still have kids from Hastings and other small towns who are out there who I probably pull a little bit harder for. Disappointed in the staff we have and even when some guys don't play great it's still not about the players. Even though I'm not happy with the staff we have it's not even personal like that towards them either. We all know MR is a nice guy. In over his head probably coaching here is all. Husker fans want to win. I'm sure people who have said negative things about his coaching or the decisions or whatever have absolutely nothing against the man as a person. How could you? He's a family man with a wife and kids and is obviously a loyal coach to his players and his staff. Hard to not respect that. We must remember to not take everything we write so seriously either. We're all passionate football fans who have differing opinions. GBR

The Huskers called the right plays in the wrong week.

They said the same thing about Pelini who also hired horrible assistants. If there's turnover you'd be a fool not to have it be from the top to bottom.

Pretty sure he's calling mom.
