Game Thread Nebraska @ Minnesota (Friday, October 17, 7:00pm - FOX)

[Blakejc]

Dylan holds the ball too long, but our oline is a gawd damn mess. This is 60/40 situation IMO. 60% of our problems come from an oline that couldn’t stop senior citizens from attending a Billie Eilish concert.

Dana deserves as much blame as anyone. At this point you know the strengths and weaknesses of your offense. Play to them. He seemed to be ramming a square peg into a round hole all game.

I said from the beginning that I didn't think he was a candidate. And I thought he didn't want the job.

He got cute to try to get some leverage among the boosters to get more NIL funding. He took it too far though and made it a distraction.

He definitely lost his leverage tonight.

I may have missed some but a quick look at this showed 16 second down plays and a grand total of 3 gives to rbs.

Inexcusable.

He definitely lost his leverage tonight.

Edit: thought the leverage in question was regarding the PSU job when I posted this

 

[The Bearded One]

I thought Gottula had been playing well and played well last year as a true freshman… then tonight happened.

He got his ass wiped pretty good against Cincy too.

 

[Eaton Beaver]

Because Tim Brando/Devin Gardner are retarded, they don’t communicate this point well. By running satterfield’s system Holgorsen elected to use all of the same terminology and language so as to not make the players learn an entire new offense.

Holgorsen is not running the same play selection or has the same play calling philosophy.

How do you know this? Not saying you're wrong? Just asking?

 

[Eaton Beaver]

I really had no idea what we were trying to do on offense tonight.

This!

Heard Dana say it in a press conference

 

[stonesak]

This!

Set the NCAA record for sacks allowed in a single game it appeared.

Uhhh no 9 sacks is not close to the record for a single game. We probably set the Nebraska single game record.

 

[Eaton Beaver]

He's running plays that he ran at Houston and WVU if that answers your question. Depends on how you define the word "system" in this context.

I call bullshit man! Come on

 

[biscuitgaze01]

I call bullshit man! Come on

Go look up mesh and get back to me.

 

[LWFloridaHusker]

Time to go too bed Biscuit. Your wanna be Waterboy ass is annoying. Like your loyalty in the program of course

Did you watch the press conference?

 

[Tonkasker]

I'm a MASSIVE Rhule fan but he has to own this one.

He enjoyed the attention this week and tried to get cute with it. He forgot that we only won the last 2 games due to some lucky plays.

hes actually the perfect coach for a program that never misses an opportunity to be arrogant

 

[EwokRhuler]

Rhule can go ahead and go to Penn State. Leave us Eckler and let him figure it out. Who the fuck cares

 

[Eaton Beaver]

Did you watch the press conference?

What did I miss???

 

[HerbRedman]

Yeah and he chanced it by locking himself into the House Rhules and the McAfee thing. Those only work if you go 9-3 or better.

If you go 6-6 that's 6 ass kickings you have to talk about. It's cringe.


I kind of admired his chutzpah, taking the chance that we'd be 9-3. But this team ain't a 9-3 team. This is a 6-6 or 7-5 team.

 

[slattimer]

@slattimer what’s our best blocking concept? Duo?

Nothing. We block like shit. Fûcking horrid ass OL and OL coach. Fûcking joke.

It’s obnoxious. Nobody wants to hear about it. Just win football games

Why can’t we just have normal, competent shit around here. It’s always embarassing
