I think the bullets were real bullets too. I was listening to Andy/Ari on On3 and they talked about how good the Cincinnati OL is and is going to be this year. Also listened to Matt Vrzal's post-game wrap up and he made a comment that he thinks Cincinnati is going to finish 3rd or 4th in the...

James Williams would be very useful for us if we (a) had a team that was always up 14 pts on everyone and forced the other team to pass 80% of the time and (b) played in a conference that wasn't stocked w NFL OL prospects & elite rushing packages. Unfortunately neither A nor B applies to us...

Man it's like the PFF Guys had this place bugged. This popped up on my YouTube feed just as I was reading this thread. Here's some bullet points for you TLDR folks: PFF CFB Show: Nebraska-Cincinnati review notes: this came confused the hell out of me. even after watching it a 2nd time If you...

Disagree. I watched a fuck ton of CFB this weekend and I didn't see a better QB all weekend. Castellanos maybe but they're so different it's hard to say. The Cal guy looked amazing but Oregon St is shit-tay. I think the issue is Rhule had SO many turnovers his first season he overcorrected to...

I'm not giving up hope of 8-4 (or better with luck). My thing is: Holgorsen is paid to fix this & I want to give him a chance to do so. I believe he CAN fix it. I think he's very smart and has an encyclopedia of coaching experience to pull from. My guess is that he thought the running game...

The problem is we are dumping $3m in our QB who is a legit all-star....but we have him doing check-downs all game. If that's all we're doing we could have a $500k QB and put that $2.5m elsewhere like RB etc I'm not advocating for this. Just making a point. We have a shit ton of $$$ tied up w...

Keep in mind, most elite QBs don't have A+ everywhere. That happened like once and it was 2019 LSU. Typically even All American QBs have B and C players. Even Heisman winners have that. But they are allowed to cut it loose and they put up numbers anyway. Just seems like we're content with Dylan...

I've never been a huge fan of EJ. BUT...he never fumbles. He picks up 4 when you need 4. My thought was that the passing game was going to be so elite that having a B level RB would work. Because EJ does all the things Holgo wants. But in that 1 game, it seemed like DH was content to let the...

The silver lining is you should be able to rest him vs this schedule. You can take it easy with him in week 2 and week 3. Northwestern might be really bad so you may only need him for a half that game. You got the two bye weeks as well. You might be able to finesse the calendar a bit to keep...

This was the ideal game for him. Vs a team having to pass every down for like the final 1.5 quarters. He might get a lot of those opportunities in the ACC this year. B1G just didn't serve him well bc he was in a bunch of 16-14 games with teams running the ball at him. Honestly this was a smart...

I actually thought we'd get Tessitore (their 2nd string) on Thursday as opposed to Mark Jones (like their 5th string). Tessitore makes the game feel more elite. Jones makes the game feel like an 11pm WAC game. The interesting thing is ESPN is so in bed with the SEC/ACC that I don't think they...

I was thinking that too I think the answer probably is that FSU was not really a 2-10 team last year, they just unraveled completely. Still an impressive turnaround. They dumped a fuck ton of money into turning it around

I think you know a few things: we need a better backup RB. DBs are good. OL is pretty good. Could maybe use 1 more beefy DT to clog the middle. Stuff like that. But to definitively say "the 2025 Nebraska Cornhuskers cannot stop the run"...I mean it's a little early for that. They can make...
