Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Sign Up Now!Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ we are 4-1
but we could have won by three digits damnit
I think we can spend to get a few top guys. It's having the $$$ to build top lvl at more spots on the roster.
We need an elite RB, EJ is average. Need to continue to ride Hunter rest of season.
I’m convinced some of our fans eat their youngPeople need to think… am I about to have an emotional—not rational—reaction? Perhaps I step away.
I was so close to losing my shit when we fell down 21-14. Had some dandy loser-cries imagined up. But I held them to myself.
Emotional message boarding is not the way.
I’m not out on him, but I think at this point I’m good with saying we’re not going to have a typical ‘Rhule breakout year three’. This is a lower level bowl team that will likely finish with a winning record. Nothing more. This year. Through five games, we’re less put together than I’d have hoped. Not dramatically so, but it’s pretty obvious.
It’s possible the record improves to 8 or even 9 wins, but the team hasn’t improved dramatically from year two. We saw flashes on both sides of the ball yesterday, but saw some real slop through way too many stretches on offense and that includes maybe the worst single possession I’ve seen in 50+ years of watching Nebraska football. Special teams was good again, minus the dumbass fake punt when we could have pinned MSU back. It definitely flipped the momentum.
It’s obvious our overall staff is better than any Frost staff and better than year one for Rhule, or we’d have lost that game. Down 21-14, it was really a program trajectory moment for me. Continue to shit the bed and lose that game and we’re likely looking at repeat of ’24…or worse. It’s also obvious to me we have a ton of young talent that will help this program, if they’re here long enough to do it. Still have a couple of holdovers I can’t help but think would be better off on an FCS roster.
On the O line, I’m going to give them a slight pass for yesterday, even though it was hot garbage. New configurations don’t often look locked in right out of the gate. Dylan held the ball too long against man blitz most of the game, but I did see a lot of missed assignments that left guys free to hunt down Raiola. The empty or single back sets don’t work against that defense if you’re not getting rid of the ball quick.
We won. Didn’t look great or even good doing it, but we’re 4-1 with our first real road game coming up against Maryland team that is likely better than most on the board think. Figure out a way to win that game. That needs to be the only focus this week.
Long term goals need to remain just that. Long term. Rhule, hell, Saban or Osborne isn’t fixing what ails this team this year.
This seems like a pretty big overreaction to a 4-1 team with a single 3 point loss to Michigan.
Winning by 10 in 30mph wind is good, even if the game was ugly - good teams win ugly.
If you’re expecting to win conference games by 35 IDK what to tell you - different era and outside of OSU it’s not happening in the Big 10 regularly.
