Sims looks to be in just as much danger in the backfield as he is trying to run with it... might as well let him do the work on the ground if pass protection is going to be this bad all the time.

Smart idea keeping the ball on the ground so far this drive.

Now THAT's how you cover!  

Hartzog is getting burned in coverage.

Wish Sims could see the field better... protection on that last play wasn't great, but he had options.

Terrance's nickname is Pot Roast.  Based on that alone,  A+ hire!

Urban Meyer. $12.5 million/year plus MASSIVE salary pool for assistants.

How could he even know this???? Lawn care is done for the year. Your source is full of poop. Good lord!

Poop is occasionally used in lawn fertilizer, so that sounds plausible.

Too much smoke surrounding Rhule at this point, so that's my pick. 

I'm starting to see Jamey Chadwell's name thrown around a lot.  I'm not sure what to think,  but I'm not opposed to the idea. 

The only meaningful event for Husker football that will happen between now and the end of the season is Scott Frost's replacement being named.

Suddenly, I'm starting to wonder why Frost doesn't just call an onside kick every time we kick off.

Literally nobody is using that excuse anymore 

Sadly, a lot of people still are.  I see several people respond with that line every time someone on Husker Power suggests that maybe, just maybe, it's time to start thinking about other coaching options.

Again I have to question the motives of the people that still want Frost here.  Is this seriously what you want?

"But if we fire him, who's gonna want to coach here?"

(Please note: Not once in my life have I ever used that tired line of BS.  I'm merely quoting all the people who think that consistently losing is better than maybe taking a chance at winning.)

Brian Buschini for MVP?

Looking at the sentiment of this thread, people have really bought into the idea that the offense is the problem.

 

Now go look up the points per game totals of Iowa, Wisconsin, & Minnesota for 2021. Those three teams went 10-4, 9-4, & 9-4, respectively.

 

Then look up ours for 2021. We finished ahead of those teams but went 3-9.

 

 

The offense is part of the problem, but not the biggest part IMO.  O line was horrible for most of the game, Thompson was pretty hit-or-miss (he looked damn good when he was on though), and there was more "find what works and never do it again" playcalling, but at least we had flashes of competence.  The defense was a disaster all day.

I would take urban Meyer in a heartbeat and break the bank for him!!  Instant turnaround with him pretty much guaranteed.  

Before his disaster of a season with the Jaguars, I'd have been thrilled with bringing in Urban Meyer, but after that, not so much.  It's not necessarily for moral reasons, but more for "recruits probably don't want to commit to a school where the head coach might repeatedly kick them" reasons.

We were up by 11.  WTH would that have even entered his mind.  How about, I am going to control the clock, play smart and win....As you so eloquently put, No words.  SMH.

I mean, it did essentially end the game...

Well, it literally started with a lightning storm...so kinda started with a bang?

Touchè

The Frost era is about to end the same way as it started... not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Same ol' sh*t.  The Big Red Hype Machine prepares a nice, big, refreshing bowl of Kool-Aid during the offseason, then the team and coaches come out and drop a fat, stinky deuce in it.  

And to think, I was even thinking about changing my avatar after this game if things went well.

The only question that remains is who our coaching staff will be this time next year.

Well Northwestern is playing not to lose.

That works every time when you're playing against a team that's playing not to win.

Okay defense, what just happened is what is commonly referred to as a "sack".  Can you remember that?

What's going on with Casey?  Looks like he's missing high/long on a lot of these last few throws.
