What did we learn? Mich St version

I did needed yard work directly after the game, and I am not going to go back through this entire thread.  I really didn't learn anything today. 

 

• I am being realistic and known NU is a flawed team with a flawed roster, and the coaches aren't perfect. 
• NU's margin of error is very slim each week. 
• The D gave up some big plays which cost them points, which hadn't happened the prior 3 weeks.
• The offense is bad, but reasonable considering the amount of young guys and backups we are playing
• NU needs to do their best to find 2 QB's in the transfer portal.  One young one, and one older one.

1.  Lawn work is super lame.

2.  Totally agree, they are gonna get 2 QB's in the portal.  Probably a grad transfer that is just looking to get that last year in and will be cool as a starter or cool if he (or she, relax SJW's) has to back up.  And they will get a soph or Covid junior that still has like 6 years left for some reason.

I’m not down on these coaches except Raiola because he is the one consistent piece and the OL continues to be the weak link.  I think Rhule and Satt knew what they had with the OL so they went with the running QB in HH and Sims.  They needed a QB who could escape and have designed runs. Unfortunately ball security has been an issue.  
 

We are banged up on offense with RBs injured, no QB, no OL, and inexperienced WRs.  
 

The punt returns were an epic fail. Kemp should not be back there unless he plans to return and not catch balls inside the 10.  

 

The conspiracy theory is more than alive and well.  These refs were atrocious and gave MSU points not to mention multiple missed calls that we needed.  
 

This was a game we had to have. This and Minny are the worse losses for me. Better or equal than both and we lost both games.

 

It will come down to beating Iowa to go bowling.

I just found myself amazed, again, at the past couple years of just pure 100% misses in QB talent. I mean we are not an above average P5 team, below average really....BUT, we are a historic Blue Blood with a rabid fan base and amazing facilities...and we simply recruit QB's who were obviously starting QB's in HS but also the starting and/or 2nd string player on defense, and likely better at that position than QB...it's weird.

...additional thought, for how "jacked" Fidone is...he blocks like you would expect someone with gym muscles to block...not good

Concerned we are signing another in the next cycle.  Not feeling the thunderbird.

Does that mean that in those few weeks the Illini backup QBs were able to develop and the Husker backup QBs were not? 

I don’t think these things are related. IDK if Illini QBs are capable of being developed but it’s obvious that ours are not.

These refs were so against us that they called 0 penalties on Nebraska!

To be fair his OLine was NU level garbage bad.  So he should be able to hit the ground running next fall as he's used to running for his life a lot

I thought Fidone had a very good block on Haarberg's TD run.  He sealed his man on the inside, and Haarberg was able to follow the WR's who were blocking on the inside.

 

Fidone hasn't blocked well on the WR screens.  Maybe they are asking him to go too far out to make that block.  Either way, Satt should throw that play out of the playbook for this year.

Hard to build a QB room when you have a true freshman starter that would need to be unseated. As soon as A-Mart happened you had at least 2 years of QB misses. That said, AMart would win the division even with this line.
