Now that we are two games into the season we can pretty much get a feel for who we are right now and where we need to get better to make the next level of play.

1: We have to have at least 1 game before this season is done where we put together an all 4 quarters game. All of the offensive starters besides Noa are back next season. To feel confident we can make strides on offense going into the off-season we need proof on the field before the end of this season that the offense has grown - that includes OL play and skill spots.

2: We need to have one of the freshman WR's get 4 games of play in to show growth. Hopefully Chase is that guy. Warner is 3rd string so he isn't going to be the guy for us.

3: We need to get Benhart his 4 games. He needs the experience of playing college ball in a live game before next season.

4: We have to continue to force turnovers on D. Now that conference play is right around the corner, we have to have good run D.

5: We need Rahmir Johnson and Ronald Thompinks to get their 4 games.

Agree all the way around. I would go as far as to say that unless there are injury concerns, every freshman needs to get some PT this season. I say just go ahead and burn Rahmirs shirt because we need him this year.
 
Run defense was good yesterday, at least better. If as I've read yesterday that there was no rotation on the OL, that is a coaching thing. Make someone good enough they can take a series or two to keep guys fresh. That NEEDS to help.
 
Off the field I want to see the coaches kickin' butt in the recruiting arena. It's becoming more and more obvious where our areas of need are. Work on those.

Disclaimer: Yea, the coaches know what they need and I don't know squat but I'm posting because it's a slow Sunday.

Rahmir Johnson and Ronald Thompkins definitely need to play in these early games. Mills is not doing much so far. Why not give them a chance?
 
I’d like to see play calling that looks like someone remotely competent is calling it. Overtime with a completely unproven kicker and you force him to try and make a 45 plus yard field goal?

How about you throw a slant to your best receiver instead of putting a vastly overrated QB back in the pocket where he’s shown massive regression from last year and get a game ending sack?

There’s absolutely no excuse for what happened yesterday. CU is a .500 team and the Huskers has them on the ropes.

Maryland looks like an offensive explosion with all the turmoil and Nebraska looks like a turd.

Can’t put lipstick on that pig.

I hope Rahmir starts to get some snaps. Ronald we should see around conference play or sometime into it. Chase at WR is the other freshman that I hope we see. Would be good to see Hickman get some snaps before the season is done.
 
What I would love to see for the next couple of games is an emphasis on the running game. We won't win very many at all if we don't get that down. The run if it's working at all opens up everything else

Agreed. I would also like to see more RB/TE screens, WR slip screens, flare passes to RBs. Good things happen when Mo Washington gets the ball....

I don't know Ed I think the fans have been pretty level headed to this point. I'll say it like this. It's not unreasonable to expect a coaching change when the huskers lose Game 2 in Season 2. Time to clean house and start over. The play calling was pure chicken $h!+.
 
Change something! Ramir Johnson needs a chance. this next two games is the time to try him. He can play four and redshirt, so why not give him a chance. Need a inside zone to work and we don't have somebody that will run hard inside AND be able to cut back. Washington is too timid inside, and may get suspended later this season.
Need to see AM roll out on a run pass option. Sitting in the pocket is not working, need to have a changeup more often. More designed runs looking like a QB draw.
Play Benhart in the next two games and let's see what he has.

No lie, I was really pissed Saturday. The Mrs. could attest that I was not a fun person to be around Saturday night and Sunday.

But as angry as I was, I felt myself bristle when yahoos like Tad Stryker on Huskermax decides to publicly skewer our QB and Coach. I'm sure as hell no saint, I was thinking some pretty nasty stuff over the weekend, but I had enough self-control not to post them.

There's no way to sugar-coat Saturday's game. It was especially painful considering the way Husker Nation took over CU's stadium and given how well we played the first half. But having had a chance to cool down, I seem to recall a bunch of other Husker teams, including a national championship squad, that almost let CU come back on them. And those teams had a lot more experienced players than we had last Saturday.

As tough as the loss was to take, we have to remember
it was a non-conference game. I've seen enough college football to have seen some young teams grow up over the course of a season. We've certainly discovered we have some things to fix, but this team showed -- in one half anyway -- how they're capable of performing.

I like this coaching staff and I like these players. Let's let September play out before jumping off a cliff.

then we are in disagreement , a knee jerk reaction will put us right back in the same boat as we jumped in 4 years ago. no thanks I have confidence in this staff and in our H.C. its getting better, now it needs consistency .
nobody I know was picking us to win the N.C. , most people had us going with 8 or 9 wins and saying that would be more then enough improvement .
we will be fine and HCSF has this year and 5 to go

( not saying letting BO go was knee jerk, his antics did him in and it was time )

Judging from some responses, I think posters are having a hard time telling when your posts are dripping with sarcasm... :D
