They get 5 total practices during the 2 weeks between Oklahoma and Indiana, due to the extra week zero practices we had. Players still get workouts, trainers, and film study on non practice days. I think hcMJ said two actual practices last week, and 3 this week in presser last Tuesday. Quote Link to comment

This game wish show is what changes on D Mickey is wanting to make. It might not totally click yet. But, hopefully enough to win. Sure there are other issue but they pale in comparison to how bad the D line has been. In a league of massive offensive lines and solid running backs. That gets you b!^@h slapped almost every game.

But, when you look at the scheme flaws we were running, literally there were plays where there was very little chance for them to succeed. Quote Link to comment
Packerhuskerfan Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 There is no saving the defense this season. Our only hope is the offense recovers from the poor Oklahoma showing to help win maybe two more games. Quote Link to comment

Chins was awful at that, but scheme is easier to fix than just not having dudes. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, and people looking past the ineptitude of the linebackers who have been in position plenty of times to only whiff on tackles or who fill the wrong gaps seem to have a blind eye towards that position. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I don't know what will happen the rest of the season, but I'm going to put a stake in the ground on this one: Nebraska beats Wisconsin this year. We won't learn much, but it will be fun. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

huskerfan74 Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 I believe that this game is extremely important for player morale. If they see that their coach can lead them to victory, maybe (just maybe) enough players will believe in their coach’s ability to lead them and they will work harder the rest of the season. If they beat Indiana and then Purdue, who knows, maybe enough players start leading others and turning the tide. I know it is wishful thinking but I also know that if we lose to Indiana at home after two weeks of preparation then that seals a 1-11 or 2-10 season and mickey’s future. Quote Link to comment

Hayseed Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Would you guys say that Mickey is the coach if we make a bowl game? Quote Link to comment
BoSolich Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 i wouldn't be shocked if we go 4-0 or 0-4 the next 4 games. busch should bring some new looks for the defense which can only help. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I will ask ths " If Frost would have made a bowl game (6-6) would he have been retained? I think the same question could be asked of Mickey, Maybe? I would like to assume that with a bowl game, Mickey would at least have serious consideration. But it also depends on how that looks. Is that 5 wins against Purdue, Indiana, Illinois, and Rutgers? Or is that wins against Wisky, Iowa, Minny and Michigan and one of the others? I can see a scenario where we keep getting better but don't win games against worse team early on, and beat the heavy hitters on our back end of the schedule. I guess if your a Mickey fan your wanting us to beat Iowa and Wisky for sure and winning against the weaker competition along the way. I don't know what teams are good and which are truly awful at this point........I thought Wisky was better than what they have shown, I thought Rutgers was better.....Now I think that the west will come down to Iowa and MInny Quote Link to comment

I think if Mickey gets this team to a bowl game he absolutely will be the coach. The one exception to that I would say would be if a coach like Aranda comes in and they both agree he would remain on the staff as OC/ASSOCIATE COACH 2 Quote Link to comment
