DR is the most talented QB we’ve had in many years. He is a true sophomore and still early in his learning curve. Does he leave if his uncle is fired?

The Dline is young and smallish. Hard to blame the 1st year coach.

Awful, awful game. Let’s see if they can beat Northwestern at home next week.

Everyone involved in the offense needs to be replaced. Coaches and players. Pay out NIL and get a real offensive line..And get a real.QB..DR is not the answer.

D R would be a different player with a line in front of him

 

[valiantsailor]

On all but maybe 2 of the 9 sacks Dylan had zero chance to do anything wil the ball. The pocket collapsed so fast it wasn't even funny. And the times he did get away from the rush (cause the pocket collapsed so fast) he either ran and did pick up some yardage or threw it incomplete. Fix the Oline and this offense will hum along and score points.

Dylan is a victim of the TRAP....there is no where to go when he is caught in it. Fixing it means firing his uncle

After today I really don't agree with this. He was that bad. He's decent against garbage and a disaster against decent.

Nothing is going to change this year but the Huskers need to move on.

I concur. If we had OTs that could block, Dylan would be lighting up the scoreboard.

It's nearly impossible for any QB to look good with OTs as bad as ours. The ball is snapped and he literally has about 1.5 seconds before he's pressured. For the life of me, I have no idea why our OTs are such garbage. And what's worse, the garbage OTs we have are apparently the "best" we have. What a sh** show.

Agreed. As I've mentioned a couple times already on about 7 of the 9 sacks Dylan had no shot to get rid of the ball. He was dead to rights. The OTs couldn't block. Lindenmeyer let a LBer hit him untouched. Your 1.5 seconds is pretty accurate. Most Olines have to give their QB at least 3 to 5 seconds to get rid of the ball. The only time I saw that tonight was on that last drive where he had a bunch of time to throw and no one to throw too and threw the ball away or ran for a 1st down or 2. That's it.

 

[Huusker]

It's astounding that teams can rush three and still arrive at the QB unblocked and even untouched. How does that happen play after play? I can see maybe once if someone whiffs on an assignment. But this is happening repeatedly, week after week.

I'm disgusted.

What disgusts me, is the fact that, of all f*ing people, our coaches don't seem to see it. Literally EVERYONE else sees how sh**ty our OTs are, but the coaches seem absolutely oblivious.

Rhule is now 1-10 after reaching 5 wins in the regular season.

Maybe it's just the negativity talking, but I am hard pressed to see how Nebraska wins another game this season.

I am beginning to think these guys don't want to win. I know it was a short week, playing on a Friday, on the road, etc. But great teams don't make excuses, they just go out and play. Nebraska absolutely was not ready to play. Focus and preparation are 100% within the players control and tonight they had neither and failed so spectacularly.

 

[Huskergod84]

MOST disappointing loss since the Georgia Southern game. We had no answer on either side of the ball. We were badly out coached by the bald headed Coitus. Every coach should run stadiums until they puke. 9 ******* sacks?????? 9000 missed tackles????? Absolutely no excuse to look this bad. Players are to blame no doubt, but the coaches are absolutely no better.

 

[MadRat]

I can see why most of you have never coached. It is not a talent issue. Its a focus of effort problem.

Then, theoretically correctable. What is Big Red missing?

Not only rushing 3 but we have 6 trying to block and still can’t stop them!!

You don't need to be a coach to know it's not a talent issue. We have the talent, we don't have the coaching. The OL coach has been here now this is his 4th year and his OL is the worst it's been? Come on man you don't have to have ever coached to see the obvious. Every other team seems to be more disciplined and better coached than us. The coaches are responsible for the focus and effort problem. If you have guys that aren't focused or giving effort, replace them with guys who will. Or coach them up.

That was mind blowing that the would have 3 or 4 against 5 or 6 and they still kicked our butts.

 

[Jimbosc]

I get all the focus on the offense only scoring 6 points - they should take heat. But I felt the defense was in many way even worse than the offense. Clearly there was a lack of focus and effort overall.

The NW game is only one we should win the rest of the way. USC and PSU are going to crush us. UCLA on the road now that they have their offense figured out - honestly we don't have much of chance.

Iowa plays the same way as MN and has a better running QB.

6 wins is probably where we end up - that is not going to sit well with boosters, fans, etc. Rhule is going to have to blow up his staff yet again after this season. But the biggest, glaring issue to me is we don't have legit DTs and OTs - that is recruiting. And that is Rhule.....I doubt we can fix it in the portal so I'd say Rhule is in trouble to keep his job here unless he is able to jump the shark somehow on recruiting big uglies.

A coming to God talk with each other about doing their jobs and that means coaches, too. Team meeting and air out the dirty laundry. I garauntee they know what is wrong. Don't hold a bitch session about personal grievances. But teammates that know their is grievances and animosity between teammates need to bring them to light. But its a fine line. Its not for everyone.

 

[Nebraska99]

A slightly amusing thought...I had as many beers as the Huskers did points last night. Unlike them, I scored at the end of the night. lol
