The team is getting beat the fuck down next year. This was the momentum season and there is NONE

Indiana, Illinois, Cockeye, and Rutgers are all losing at least 15 starters. The Hoosiers are also sending 9 dudes to the NFL.

Michigan State actually has one of the oldest rosters in the league, and they're a God Damn mess.

Maryland is going to watch their roster get decimated again due to the nil and portal.

The only games on that schedule that look rough are Ohio State and Oregon.

There will only be 3 teams in the preseason top 25 on that list, and Indiana will be fringe top 25 in 2025 after losing so much talent.

Stop being a giant pussy.

Wild that we had a bunch of fans actively rooting against Lateef in this thread.

I mean if they want to be mad that some fans have called for Lateef to come in when Raiola has struggled fine be mad at the fans. It doesn't have anything to do with Lateef himself it's not like he's out there campaigning to be the #1 guy.

I'm not mad I went to the game, I'm just so tired of being close..

Same.

Rhule really needs to make some offseason adjustments. We're really failing to put up points and stopping the run.

Ultimate edging

I don't understand why our offense looks cheeks all the time while having the players we do.


I'm not sold on the OC.

It all starts up front. Having the absolute worst OL in the conference will make any offense look like shit. That being said, our play calling has been a disaster for much of the year.

No one was rooting against Lateef. We just have evolved to having a very dumb fanbase and the quoted is another data point.

Tons of people rooting against Lateef. Guess they're more Dylan fan than Nebraska fan. Disappointing, but not unexpected.

 

[The Bearded One]

The same guys that have been making excuses for Raiola's mistakes, all of sudden want to hold Lateef to a different standard.

The kid might not turn out to be great but he came in off the bench as a true freshman in a bad situation in a big game under the lights and did what he could to try and get the win.

Real life isn't always the storybook ending where the guy comes in off the bench and wins the big game.

💯
They all seem to be content and happy at mediocrity. Always have excuses to why we can't win games that are winnable.

Don’t think anyone who is an actual fan is really ever rooting *against* any of NU’s players in game….

But lots of people that don’t know ball who were yelling for TJ certainly got what they asked for yesterday and it wasn’t pretty

You mean TJ’s performance against Omaha Balloon School’s 4th team D doesn’t mean much - you don’t say

Other than the fumbled snap I thought he did alright.

It was just clear that the entire playbook is not available for TJ. Took one deep shot that a USC player made a good play on. Nothing else after that.

I wish they would have let him throw more than once

Entire playbook ain't available for anyone because of how bad our OL is.

 

[RedDeanRedemption]

That’s a majorly flawed USC team that can’t stop the run on defense and has a playcaller that consistently outsmarts himself on offense.

We’re not that close

 

[ChocaEgg]

Same. Don't think he really had much of a chance considering how the game was called after Dylan went down.

Should have went with Gramstad, everything would have been fine.

And we will still be in that 5-7 win range.
