We weren't exactly playing the 85 Bears, either. It still blows my mind with how bad, unlucky, call it whatever, our teams have been these last couple of years. Does the reorganization on offense this offseason get us over that hump? Given recent history, probably not. 1 Quote Link to comment

His comments are a little all over the place. Why should our players be questioning why Whipple wanted to come coach them? Quote “If you’re a player, you’d have to think, ‘Why would Mark Whipple come to us after he just coached one of the best quarterbacks in the country?’ Just bizarre, to say the least. Why Whipple decided to come here is a fair question, but it's not one that players need to worry about. He's a proven coach, I can't think of any bad reason he would come here from the players' perspective. And I get what he's trying to say here: Quote “You can make the argument that they’re a long ways from being there, just because of the little things.” However saying we're a long ways away but they are little things doesn't make sense. If you want to say we haven't proven we can fix the little things, that's also fair - but wouldn't be a long ways off, just ineptitude. 4 Quote Link to comment

Whipple came here because it's Nebraska and he got paid. We want him because he's experienced, connected and has a good history with quarterbacks. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 If we don't fix the little things, this season will be similar to last season. Can't make major strides until you get over the minor bumps. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, its clickbait trash and buried 3/4 the way through the article and the quotes are not promoted on any tweet sent by Sherman or the Athletic today. Never mind that in each Athletic preview article there are quotes from an anonymous coaching opponent. Just because its not something that you want to read doesn't mean that there are not truth in the comments. 3 Quote Link to comment

Maybe he is thinking that NU will get some breaks this year, they are due. I know last year was crazy but how many of those losses "Should have" been wins? MSU for sur Minny? I can't totally remember that one What other games? I think they should be a 9 win team next year. Minnesota was awful. So many opportunities. Check out the 2nd half possessions. Minnesota leading 21-9. Not exactly rowing the boat. Unless that means chew up the clock and play ugly. 2nd Half: Minn - Throws interception Neb - punt Minn - Throws interception Neb - Touchdown Minn - punt Neb - downs Minn - punt Neb - Missed FG (27 yard attempt) Minn - punt Neb - downs (1 yard line) Minn - punt Neb - Safety (2 pts for Minn) Minn - Touchdown Neb - Touchdown Min - recovers onside kick - runs out the clock - end of game 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Iowa was the worst. Just win these games instead of playing crappy, and it would be a good start. Huskers leading 14-6 at intermission. 2nd half Iowa - fumble Neb - Touchdown Iowa - FG Neb - punt attempt blocked - Iowa returns for Touchdown Neb - fumble Iowa - punt Neb - Safety (2pts for Iowa) Iowa - FG Neb - punt Iowa - Touchdown (long run of course) Neb - Throws Interception Iowa - runs out clock - end of game Quote Link to comment

The defense played fairly well, but they just couldn't make the play and the offense totally disappeared. And obviously special teams was its usual self. 1 Quote Link to comment

And if you look at the Wisconsin game, it came down to 2 plays and terrible effort by the secondary. Wisconsin scored 28. TD on a KOR, and TD on a good drive by them. The other 2 touchdowns came on long run plays. Huskers secondary, namely #5 and #4 - used more effort to avoid tackling the Badgers big running back in space, and it cost them the game. Each time I watch those runs, I just feel bad for the rest of the team that were playing football out there. Quote Link to comment
