To be honest, I am feeling pretty good after the first half of that

Northwestern got the ball first and we go into halftime with the lead

Despite the long drive they went on in the 2nd quarter, TOP is essentially a wash (15:43 for NW, 14:17 for NU)

We are moving the ball at will on the ground

Northwestern got extremely lucky with a ball on the ground and two tipped passes all avoiding a turnover

Despite the missed a FG and TO in opposing territory we’re still up 7-6

NU is the better team here.. just need to not mentally fold. Come out and get some points on the board to start the third quarter (even three would be great) and get a stop and we’re cooking with gas. Just need to make NW try to open it up a bit on offense

We've been the better team a lot over the last decade and still find ways to lose games. Vomit!

Yeah, my main takeaway is that he’s not even trying. He had a whole offensive system that he’s run forever, and he just decides not to run it??

We don't want the fun and gun. We insist on building an offense around a quarterback that can't move, that can't hit a deep ball, with a line that can't pass block on the edge. Raiola is talented, but needs a clean pocket. In our case, he needs a heavy dose of running game to keep defenses honest and be effective. We refuse to stick with the formula.

So if we are following the same formula as always...we had a good 1st Q...a shit 2nd. We will have a rage inducing 3rd, then show up for part of the 4th.

..... fuck

This looks exactly like a Scott Frost coached team.

What if it’s a problem bigger than any coach

stonesak · 2025-10-25T12:37:53-0500

Ball knowers, is 13 points in 6 quarters good?

Scarlet ObsessioN · 2025-10-25T12:37:53-0500

Northwestern +7.5 was chefs kiss

Yeah, I really don’t get it. Is it Rhule telling him he can’t run the air raid??

If he thinks his kicker has the yips then I don’t mind going if it . That first kick was awful

It was like a 25 yard kick. If you cant reinstall confidence in your kicker with that type of kick you never will.

That being said,we had been gashing em and we went with a pass. All around terrible coaching

Cornicator · 2025-10-25T12:38:27-0500

Lindenmeyer set them up for a FG there. Have to take it.

But we still love the Huskers....no matter how many times they kick us square in the nutz we still love them.

My wife who is a UM fan said to me during the first half that I am like the wife or GF who is abused by her partner but comes back time after time giving them another chance. About as good a description of being a Husker fan that I’ve seem

Had we made two fgs - and it was 13-6 I think I’d feel good about Nebraska at -7.5

Butler needs to Go. Donovan needs to go. This is pathetic

I will die on this hill: in college football you better have a athletic QB you can run or a dominant offensive line, we have neither

Hey at least with Tony out and Butler in we don't have that annoying sub culture of being bad ass on defense.
