Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Sign Up Now!I would argue our team is much more fragile than the fan base. Dylan missed two throws, a slant over the middle in first half and the key 4th quarter. Other than that he was pretty flawless and making NFL throws.Dylan missed a few critical throws throughout the game. He played okay, but he left points on the field tonight and we lost.
Some of you guys are fragile as hell.
It's off the table right now.You laugh but can’t tell me it’s off the table rn
He had 3-4 throws behind guys on crossing routes. I believe one of them was on third down in the second half. Then obviously the end zone pass.I would argue our team is much more fragile than the fan base. Dylan missed two throws, a slant over the middle in first half and the key 4th quarter.

CorrectI don’t think Dylan transfers but last night was extremely apparent this program does not have the talent and players ready to play with this level of QB. Awful pass pro, WR’s letting TD’s be snatched from them, Rahmir Johnson having zero spatial awareness and running out of bounds on what would have been a TD. Dylan missed the one throw that was costly. Outside of that he stepped up when the rest of the team was not ready for the moment.
Defense didn’t do anythingHe had 3-4 throws behind guys on crossing routes. I believe one of them was on third down in the second half. Then obviously the end zone pass.
He didn’t play a flawless game, but the loss isn’t just on him. The O-line had their worst game and the defense couldn’t get off the field (they did come up with some big turnovers and stops when needed though). It was a team loss that very, very easily could’ve gone the other way. We left 14 points on the field during regulation.
Fuck Matt Rhule, I’m redshirting and getting out of this mess. Hope I’m wrong.
In the fourth quarter they gave our offense a short field with a strip sack and then they forced a punt on Illinois’ last drive when they had a chance to end the game.Defense didn’t do anything

They played like shit. We should have won by at least two scoresIn the fourth quarter they gave our offense a short field with a strip sack and then they forced a punt on Illinois’ last drive when they had a chance to end the game.
They didn’t play great, but they absolutely did enough to win. Bottom line is if we’re just a fraction better in any of the three phases last night then we win in regulation. It was a team loss by a razor thin margin.
I was thinking Dylan throws to spots, I'm guessing he was expecting a guy that wasn't so slow to make that catch. How often has he practiced throwing bombs to our 4th string TE?Missed throw to our….checks…4th string TE.
Agreed. Net or should have held onto the ball and Dylan should have hit our TE in the end zone. Suddenly it’s a 14 point win.They played like shit. We should have won by at least two scores

I’d imagine that Rhule hates it too. What would you like him to do about it right now in week 5 of the season?The thing that makes this one hard to take is that there is no other top 4-6 big ten team that isn’t able to make a 39 yard field goal.
Getting beat because we can’t do simple things like this that everyone else can is very tough for me to accept.
There is no way they haven’t repped that play.I was thinking Dylan throws to spots, I'm guessing he was expecting a guy that wasn't so slow to make that catch. How often has he practiced throwing bombs to our 4th string TE?

He added another kicker to the roster in March. Unless there was a great transfer kicker available in the portal after spring practice then I’m not sure what you would expect him to do.I mean… I would have liked to have had this identified and handled in December/January or May at the latest when he said this area was keeping him up at night.
