Game Thread Nebraska v Northwestern (Saturday, October 25, 11:00am FS1)

I don’t think he is shit but I don’t think he is a top BIG qb either. He is a 5-7 in the BIG. If his last name wasn’t Raiola he would be expendable.

I disagree with this. And middle of the road would be an improvement over what we’ve had.

The OL and DL are not good. Which is not typical of a Rhule team.

I thought that was bad management by Rhule not going for it on 4th. That is typical of a Rhule team.

That being said, it is undeniable that is the type of game that Nebraska loses the last decade.

Big time drive by the offense. Raiola clutch when he had to be.

Rhule isn’t doing everything right. He and his staff overestimated their OL/DL personnel in the preseason. I still think he doesn’t manage games well.

But he’s also done some things right. He’s gotten special teams fixed. He’s hired a competent OC and I think he’s done a nice job with talent acquisition at the skill positions.

I think there are only 1 or 2 wins left on this schedule.

Nebraska has to spend this offseason in the trenches and retaining DBs and WR.

Good win.

I just can’t judge Raiola or any QB when he’s got less than 2 seconds to throw.

 

[Cornicator]

What are you taking issue with? Do you think the offense is operating to their potential lmao

Yes. I think the pass protection for a slow pro style QB is pathetic.

And that's their ceiling until they can find better tackles.

 

[Mavsker]

Yes. I think the pass protection for a slow pro style QB is pathetic.

So the offensive line is not part of the offense? Wtf

Where would you rate Raiola?

 

[Cornicator]

I was asked if this is their potential. And yes. If you can't protect your QB on deep drops or play action, then yes, this is our potential.

 

[herbsinator]

I’m not sure exactly but I think we’ve had the advantage at QB in every game we’ve played.

It's such a retarded position
"The offense is playing to their potential because the offensive line isn't playing well"
Well that would mean they're not playing to their potential because the offensive line should be able to play much better than they are

 

[Cash68847]

I’m not sure exactly but I think we’ve had the advantage at QB in every game we’ve played.

I have the USC, Oregon, Illinois, and Indiana qb above him for sure. I think Sayin is better but I’ll throw him out due to talent level. I have Raiola in with the Maryland and Washington qb.

IF YOUR PASS PRO SUCKS, YOUR PRO STYLE QB'S IMPACT IS LIMITED.

Sorsby says hold my beer.

Raiola still played much better than Sorsby.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Sorsby says hold my beer.

As a QB, I don't think so.
As a RB, he boofs Raiola though

 

[Mavsker]

IF YOUR PASS PRO SUCKS, YOUR PRO STYLE QB'S IMPACT IS LIMITED.

 

[Sous Chef]

Raiola still played much better than Sorsby.

In that game...maybe. I think if we played them again with plenty of game film for their OC to study it might not go so well for us.

Raiola outplayed Sorsby.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Hypotheticals don’t mean anything. 20-17 is all that matters.

Right but the question is if Raiola is a better QB than all the ones we faced so far. I think Sorsby is a better QB. We were the better team that day though for sure.

I think Raiola would look a lot better if he played behind Cincinatti’s OL and against their schedule. Sorsby basically couldn’t complete a pass against us.
