The Dude Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I went to bed when Nebraska went up 14-13. I had a strong feeling that would be the final score the way both teams were playing. Ugly, ugly football. It's nice to get another win but I suspect there's only one win left on the schedule at most. Hats off to Trev for trying to give these guys a chance, but there's only so much you can do with this team. 1 Quote Link to comment

Their definition of a sellout is a bit different than our definition of a sellout. Definitely the most empty sellout I've seen. At least in the Callahan years, Husker fans waited til halftime to empty a sellout. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 What did we learn? Learned that there is fight in this team and this program was very poorly coached over the last 4.5 years on both offense and defense. 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 My simple analysis: 1. Bill Busch good 2. Mark Whipple not good 1 1 Quote Link to comment
commando Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 maybe everyone else knew it...but i just read that we started live blocking in practice last week. no wonder our line looks like they don't know how to block Quote Link to comment

The biggest hope I have as to the capabilities of the team and coaches is that maybe we should be looking at the possibilities as a strictly per game thing; that we have players and a staff that picks through each game and finds a way to win that particular game, rather than trying to handicap the season. Coach Mickey is showing us something. That guy really is wringing out as much as he can each game, and it seems to be showing deep into the second half mostly. 3 Quote Link to comment

Mickey needs to tighten up the late game time management. No need to wast those timeouts at the end to try and bleed another second off the clock. Those timeouts are way more valuable than the three seconds they saved in the event Rutgers somehow got in field goal range and scored. The tackles have the slowest feet in the history of college football and can’t handle an outside speed rush even when they know it’s coming. Trey needs a minimum of three deep throws a game thrown to him. Whip needs to admit his play calling was off this game and figure it out better for next week. Defense did good but the Rutgers offense is atrocious. A win is a win and winning ugly is better than losing pretty. I thought the exact same thing about the timeout usage. They were praising the clock management on Hail Varsity podcast this AM and I thought it was weird. Those three timeouts should have been saved. Made no sense to me. Especially with our history in games like this when the defense needs to make a stand 1 1 Quote Link to comment

That is why SF was here (although he could have basically named his spot after UCF), they are why he survived last year, and now they are why Trev was finally allowed to pull the trigger They are also a big reason why we are building new facilities and have NIL money etc. Gotta take the bad with the good 1 Quote Link to comment

There is a long ways to go for NU this season and beyond, but this is a type of win that other Big Ten teams get lauded for. I have to agree with this. Everything about the team’s performance screamed loss but yet we won. A win is a win no matter how ugly, especially considering our recent string of one score losses. I should be pumped for the W but it still feels like the other shoe is about to drop. I guess it might take a minute to get used to winning some of these type games. 1 Quote Link to comment
Go Furself Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Might be worth trying Chancellor Brewington at fullback to help out the offensive line so Grant has someone blocking for him. Brewington's strength is blocking and he can run short routes good enough to help in the pass game as well. Another package might make it tougher on opposing defenses. 1 Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I learned that under Frost this game was a L. he had no way to get the team to grind until the final whistle. MJ and Co have found a way to do this. Quote Link to comment
