Game Thread Official Nebraska Vs Illinois GameDay Thread

As shitty as the defense was they still gave them the opportunity to go and win the game. It would be crazy if the offense or special teams could actually bail out the defense for once when they are having a terrible game.

No TWhite head coach talk anytime in the near future. Fat Bert and his coaches had him figured out from the get go.

None of our guys wanted anything to do with going into OT you could see it on their faces they were beat including Raiola.

This is of the most concern to me

At no point, until the end of game, did I think we were the inferior team tonight.

Season isn’t done. We won’t win 11. But we will win more than 6.

Illinois was our measuring stick game. They are upper mid B1G. We are upper mid B1G. 8-9 wins still achievable.

What 3 more games we winning? Indianus offense is better than ILL and we got worked by a guy throwing 15 passes

Purdoodoo and WiscyDicks are the next mopsy probable wins

The defense has to get right. The one that played the last 2 weeks can lose to anybody we play.

The delta between what we thought they were and what they’ve been is disastrous.

throwing to Luke Lindenmeyer with the game on the line was very Ferentz-esque
(difference being a Ferentz kicker would have drilled the subsequent 39 yard field goal)

We played trash teams the first few weeks everyone thinks we're world beaters and we finally play an actual football coach who knows what they're doing and we get our shit pushed in

This is why seasons aren't 3 games. Defense is not as good as things looked the first two games. We have some talent holes on D yet, and White was totally out coached and figured out tonight. We saw concerning things from the 2nd half of the CU game and basically all of yr FCS NIU game. White and the defense got owned tonight.

Here is what I’m confused about. It wasn’t a catch, that was clear. But how do you then change it to an INT? You can’t see if the ball touched the ground. The ruling on the field was a touchdown, so you have to have indisputable evidence it was an INT and there wasn’t even close to enough.

That's fair. I don't know that it didn't hit the ground bc the replay obscured that

As much as I don't want it to be, it was probably the right call ultimately. I don't think we really had possession long enough for it to be a catch. That DB made a great play and most likely the ball didn't hit the ground. It was bang-bang though for sure. Even on slowmo replay it was a tough one to determine. Still the right call though I think.

It was the right call. What sucks is I have a very hard team seeing that call going our way in the mirror situation.

That has to be some kind of record.

Well

Purdoodoo
WiscyDicks
UCLAbia
We have 0 clue what Buttgers is - today will tell us a lot
I’m also not ready to crown Indianus just because they beat the worst team in the B1G
Cockeye

So there’s 6 that I say are very winnable.

 

[Turn Down for What]

Did one person even predict us to lose?

Some thoughts to myself during game that I wrote down….

They are teen-age boys dude.

 

[Herbie]

How much more pain are Nebraska fans really willing to take?
For the better part of a decade now ever game has been pretty fucking predicable on the outcome.
I don’t live in Nebraska anymore buts it’s easy to see why my nephews and nieces don’t like Nebraska football.

I married into a family that is super casual when it comes to football. Painful to watch a game with most of them besides my brother-in-law. I envy their blissful ignorance. If it wasn’t for this place I would probably join them.

A culture of losing begets more losing.

Year two taking over a broken program being led by an amazing freshman. This team is so much better than teams going back starting from last year. Culture plus more talent builds winning team. The talent is getting better, but still not where you need it yet.

Sir, this is a Nebraska football fan forum. This is no place for objective, rationale, reasoned, and nuanced takes.
