After the game, they said Thompson had numbness in his hand/fingers, like it was a stinger. He couldn't feel his hand or grip the football. That's why there was no ice or protective wrap. I had thought he broke/dislocated a finger. Quote Link to comment

Well it must have been a stinger in one finger, cause I watched him dink around with his ring finger all second half from the 300 level Again, was there some pain, probably, but for as good as he's been/can be, he can trend towards mentally weak/soft just as fast. Again a complaint from Horn fans, when he was there 4 Quote Link to comment
NsideScoop Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I learned that Illinois is overrated Purdy would probably be the worst QB in FCS Whip has the ability to be clueless at times Purdy can't make a 2 yd pass Palmer will probably leave Purdy makes stupid plays Our D held its own Alante Brown would probably be better than Purdy Oh yeah, I think I forgot to mention... Purdy SUCKS 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 That we have not really developed any player at any position. We were pushed around on both sides. Our S&C is very poor. Bielema in year 2 has Illinois clicking on all cylinders. With players who average recruit ranking is 59. Anthony Grant, for the first time, disappointed. Didn't plant the foot and get upfield. Ruud might go down as the worst assistant coach with Dawson. We might be Nebraska, but will be interesting if any current HC's will come here. Unsure how many of our starters would start at another B1G school. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Fans are too reluctant to criticize former players, especially if they were studs at NU. Ruud also was supposed to be the lead recruiter in Omaha the past few years and NU has had a poor record of keeping those kids in-state. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment

They don’t play smart (lack coaching) and can’t play the opponent consistently (failure of scouting and coaching). I was hoping that Mickey would be the next HC but now NO.

hskrpwr13 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 For the first time since the Frost/Chinander firings, was disappointed with the coaching, specifically Whipple. It was clear Purdy was no where near prepared for the combination of our O-line and the Illinois D. While he looked bad passing, he even made Thomson look like Lamar Jackson with how slow he moves. Yet, Smothers could barely get a sniff. And with the "only" a 2 score deficit, Whipple seemingly called played to simply get the offense off the field. Would've liked to have seen Mickey take more command here. 7 1 Quote Link to comment

talaricohusker Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I learned that Whipple had his head so far stuck up his a$$ the second half he stood alone on one end of the sideline he stunk so bad. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 1. The defense actually played decent given the offense turned the ball over 4 times 2. Mark Whipple is not a great at situational play calling 3. Joseph needs to find the right #2 QB. Purdy was not the answer today and Smothers was not given much of a chance. 4. The team is still making the same mistakes now that they were when Frost was head coach. 6 1 Quote Link to comment
thexyz Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'm not sure how much we learned... We don't have an effective option or plan to go along with the next guy up once the starting quarterback goes out. Absolutely horrible "execution". The special teams does virtually nothing to help the offense have better starting field position. It seems the objective is to play it safe and to not advance the ball up field. We aren't very good at establishing a reliable running game. And we aren't very good at incorporating one into our game plan. The balance of the season is going to be brutal. We might win one more game. 1 Quote Link to comment
