We should have bought the cincy d tackle and told the bama tackle to fuck off.

Well we have definitely done that second thing.

IMO protection issues seemed to be the biggest culprit.

Either way, I’m not going to get too worked up yet and get a 4 game sample size. 105 yards passing and 4/12 on 3rd down. At end of day, game came down to field goal luck.

I always find it set incessantly funny that 90% of the people that predicted a close three-to-seven point game come out with pitchforks and torches against the coaches and say how garbage they are when it winds up being a……3 point game.

Yet it hasn’t for Rhule for 2+ years

This was actually the first conference game where Rhule has scored 27 or more points and lost.

In 2024 we scored 27+ in 2 conference games and won both (Purdue 28, Wisconsin 44)

In 2023 we scored 27+ in 1 conference game and won it. (Purdue 31)

So it has worked for Rhule. In fact, if we keep scoring 27+ every game we’re gonna go 9-3 or better.

@herbie tarlek you got something to say....quit hiding and let it rip....

He's a bitch

Exactly. If we didn’t promote Butler how many P5 programs are begging for him to be the DC?

Zero is my guess. There’s a reason a dude like him has never had a DC job even though he’s been a successful position coach. But in his defense the DL he inherited is just downright bad and sets you back quite a ways

I like you. Just wanted to point out Nebraska lost today because our tackles weren't good enough.

If they ever become good enough, then we can worry about the DC.

I still think he's auditioning for an NFL DC job. Nebraska is still going to be #1 in pass def efficiency after today.

And the NFL doesn't care about run defense. If Teddy P had knees, Nebraska wins easily.

This dude is clueless

Did it feel like a 3pt game to you? Didn't to me. Maybe that’s progress?

We probably should’ve got beat by 10-17. They missed a wide open td early. We got the 1 in a million Hail Mary, we were bailed out with the taunting penalty. Dylan made some unbelievable plays while the pocket was collapsing to even keep us in it.

Another 3 point loss and that’s about what it’s supposed to be, but the way our run d was carved up and the way we protected Dylan was abysmal. And that’s not something you can easily hide in the b10.
