What did we learn - Maryland

We know all too well what that’s like.

I knew when people were hyper obsessed with one-score losses they didn't really want one-score wins that whole time. A lot of them seem more upset about the one-score wins now. Not so much on this message board, it's relatively chill here, but it's bad out their in the wild. People were not this upset about Frost going 0-6 that time. I don't know what to make of it, it's all very strange.

i don't have facebook or x so i don't see that stuff. lol
 
We better be top 25 after today.

Of the "current" teams ranked 20-30 (us) (per the AP):
  • #21 Arizona State plays "#29" Utah, likely one will be ranked
  • #22 Iowa State lost to unranked Colorado
  • #25 Florida State lost to unranked Pitt
  • "#27" Texas won and will be ranked
  • "#28" Penn State ....... yeah
So two spots will open up but Texas will take one of them.

That pretty much leaves "#26" Cincinnati and us to take the last spot - or USC, who is right behind us. So we'll see.
 
Glad to see Nebraska winning close games. Some quick thoughts:

1. First and foremost, the game should not have been close. Raiola's 3 INTs were all bad interceptions. He nearly cost the team the game and that will happen if he continues to be careless with his throws.

2. As I have shared in recent weeks, Emmett Johnson is the MVP of this team and the best RB since Abdullah. He is quick, agile and consistent. He doesn't take a game off. Without him this team likely has at least 2 more losses.

3. The defense really struggled today against the pass....for the first time all season. I will be interested to see how they respond.

4. Special teams continues to shine.

5. The O-line appeared to give better pass protection today than in recent weeks. Not sure if that is due to something they changed or that Maryland is not at good at getting to the QB.
 
I'm also learning Nebraska fans can't learn from basketball and baseball teams BOTH where last year, after our entitled fans start screaming "RANK US YOU COWARDS"! the team comes out and just sh*ts their pants full against a team (or multiple teams) they should beat. Quit jinxing the team 😲
 
Ugly, ugly win but a wins a win and I’ll take it. Last week’s comeback has given me some faith in the fourth and less nerves. What a game winning drive, surviving 2 big penalties and then great to see the defense close the game out.

What a difference a good ST makes. In my best John Malkovich: pay him, pay that man his money. Ekeler deserves a fat raise.

Dylan shows a lot of poise but shoot, something is off these last two games. Really rough to watch.

I cannot believe they actually threw the flag on the intentional grounding, years of being jaded left me surprised they called it and stuck with it.

EJ is a beast, each WR stepped up, both TEs made huge plays, and OL did alright. Pretty encouraging to see.

Would love to see this team go out and put a B1G opponent away, hopefully next Friday is that game. It’ll be another good test on the road, on a Friday, and national spotlight. Win next week could lock in black out night game versus SC? I hope!

Didn't Illinois lose game #2 on the season today too? They were #17 going into today- lost to a good OSU team, but you can't keep them in the rankings when they have lost 2 games with a bunch of deserving 1 loss teams.


GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!
