Game Thread Nebraska v Northwestern (Saturday, October 25, 11:00am FS1)

Yep or we get the OL on some cutting edge PEDs like now.

If Lateef is competent you fire Donny and get rid of Dylan and spend the money on the lines. If Lateef sucks you stay with the Raiolas and hope for the best.

We are paying players now and Dylan is our highest paid player so everything should be on the table. Unfortunately politics come into play.

Honestly, it may be in Dylan's best interest to look elsewhere since we have difficulties keeping him upright. The Raiolas will be closely monitoring what we can do to upgrade our offensive line in the off-season.

I'll leave Donny's fate up to Rhule, but Rhule has to decide where we are going offensively. I try not to place blame on Dylan as he is obviously talented, but I think we have to take a long look at what we want to do offensively, what we can realistically do offensively with our personnel, and whether Dylan is really the guy that best fits that identity.

Rhule historically has, and should, want to run the ball. Holgs and Dylan probably don't give us the best long-term answer there. We have 20 years of proof that going away from that identity was not a good decision. Wisconsin is now exhibit number two on that front. Whether Donnie stays or goes, isn't really the first question that needs to be asked imo.

Great post.

I think Dylan is best suited to an under center, downhill gap power scheme where he can kill teams with play action (think JJ McCarthy’s Michigan offense).

But to your point we have no apparent interest in running the football much less establishing an identity.

It could be beneficial for both sides if we win one more game or lose out down the stretch which is highly possible.

I bet Hartzog, Jeudy, Singleton, Ceyair, McCullough, Key, Watson-Trent, Rocco, a few younger guys will be leaving like McGahee. They are all making a decent chunk. Most can be replaced by some younger guys.

If Rhule and the program are being held hostage by the Raiola’s and can only keep Dylan if we don’t dump the awful oline coach, we have much bigger issues at play. Good riddance to the Raiola’s if that’s the case and they can f’ right off. No player is bigger than the program.

Unfortunately, I still think our most likely scenario is that we go 7-5, then probably 8-4, then 6-6 and 9-3 after that. Less than 5% chance of 10-2.

I also think we need to potentially prepare ourselves for the fact EJ could not be on this team next year.
He’s putting together a solid season. Could be a mid round draft pick. Could also get a massive off season nil payday from another team

What a sandy vagina thing to say.... 😆

Unfortunately, everyone is fair game in this day and age.

We probably have to think of this like the NFL. EJ is has been great but you might have to let him walk in the end if his number is super high.

Just got back. Were those calls as bad on tv as they looked live? Tia

Yes but it worked out in the end.

Gbr. I bout lost it on the 1st down they gave them

Yea that was by far the worst call but there were a couple NW got fucked up. Marshall definitely held up their receiver at the end.

 

[Ext. 55]

We won. Good B1G win against a team that’s been playing well as of late. Bowl eligible. Keep tweaking and fixing where you can. Move on to next week.

Night game and anything is possible. Can’t wait.

 

[turek420845]

Can't believe they allowed that Northwestern to have that first down. Refs need to be publicly fined/banned. No way you can explain how that was a first down.

I love Raiola.
I’d be super pissed if he left.
Now Donnie? He can go
