Meanwhile our defense stopped playing. If their offense starts working we are effed.

NIU is shoving the ball down our throat.  We have no physicality...  

Anyone still want Riley?  Seriously?

 

[ebohnart]

Am I the only one who thinks everyone Eichorst, Riley etc should be fired like right now?

 

[HuskerInLostWages]

We are going to get stomped at home by a MAC team.  This is pretty much an all time low.

I'm starting to wake up and smell the reality here.  I was a Kool-aid drinker but now I'm smelling bile and tasting something far worse.  This is sad.  

It's not the players.  You can tell they are frustrated.

Watch SE put a spin on this tomorrow.

Good thing Riley just got a nice extension from an incompetent AD. 

 

[VectorVictor]

Okay...glad to see the defense stiffen up now. Let's keep 'em out of the end zone and limit them to a FG. 

 

[The Duke]

I hate so many things this team does. Failing to identify & pick up blitzes.  Failing to block on the perimeter.  Failing to play tight coverage in the secondary. Failing to put pressure on the QB.  Failing to dictate to the opponent on either side of the ball.

All that adds up to crappy football.  We're lucky to be 1-1 at this point, and we'll be lucky to be .500 at the end of the season if this keeps up.

What does this team do well?

Absolutely! This has been my biggest concern with not just our offense, but with Diaco's defense.

Nebraska hasn't played smart fundamental football in a long time.

 

[lo country]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this point.

I said it'd go down to the 4th.  Appears I gave us way to much credit.

 

[HuskerJax]

time for this experiment to end

 

[Mierin]

You guys, we'd be tied if our offense never took the field. 

 

[Terrabus]

We are going to get stomped at home by a MAC team.  This is pretty much an all time low.

It just keeps getting worse and worse.  I'm afraid to see what the next low is going to be but I'm pretty sure we'll see it this season, if not today.

Good thing Riley just got a nice extension from an incompetent AD. 

If he doesn't get that extension come December, we'll know the staff is out the door.

 

[commando]

best field position we've had in awhile?
