Barney, TJ, Shavers, Nwaneri, Petjack.

Some might include DJones, Guthrie in that group.

There is no reason to even try and have a logical discussion today. To many overly emotional and irrational (prolly drunk) people to do that.

Quick points on why you keep him…

1. Youngest team in the B1G with real talent in the Sophomore and freshman groups that played important roles this year…whether they were forced to or not.

2. Rhule has shown he will make changes to the staff when and where necessary.

3. Starting QB goes down at USC. Say what you will about DR, that REALLY hurt us.

4. Supposed big NIL money spend locked and loaded.

Gonna be fascinating if the Rhule culture can survive this end to the season. Zero buzz right now. Might get some guys poached. Gonna have to overpay for anyone that will listen in the portal. All leads to yet another negative return on investment. Is there a worse performing stock in all of sports? I doubt it.

I agree. Will be must watch TV for sure.

It’s a serious questions.
It’s a young team yes, but where’s the real talent.
Pretty simple question.

Freshman and sophomores that have played a good amount this year


Jacory Barney — Probably the best on the list. But he truthfully hasn’t done much of anything in the pass game in the big 10. He disappears a lot.
Quinn Clark - very limited. Can’t call him a real talent yet
Cortez Mills — See clark
Keelan Smitb — see Mills
Carter Nelson — pretty much only plays special teams
Isaiah Mozzee — has done pretty much nothing
Williams Nawarni — played well against weak non conf opponents. Didn’t do much in the big 10 games
gabe Moore- lol
Riley Van Poppel - lol
Keona Davis — MEH
Dylan Rogers — has been good and bad. Nothing special
Dawson Merritt — has played. Definitely can’t call him a real talent off production. Just off recruit rankings.
Donovan Jones— ok probably the best. But does he go to Cockeye this offseason?
Rex Guthrie — special talent at being out of position
Jeremiah Charles — hasn’t really done anything note worthy

Young sure. But the young talent isn’t really doing much of anything

When people are upset about losing 40-16 to a 7-4 Cockeye team at home, overly high expectations probably don’t top the list of problems.

We're technically a young team but none of those guys look like they're poised to be difference makers.

Very Disappointing, but Nebraska literally lost their starting QB who made the entire offense's engine run. All of our seasons predictions were based on assuming he was playing. You can question the strategy of that, but the offense was built around him. He was supposed to be the guy who was elevating Nebraska. And for the most part he did.

OL is the biggest disappointment of the year. All offseason we were under the assumption that not only were they good, they were a strength of the team. They ruined the early part of the year for us and ultimately led to Raiola getting hurt.

Emmitt Johnson. What a baller. It sucks this good of a season was wasted.

Im already moved on to 2026. Rhule is not going anywhere, so we can cry about that another day. This season just needs to be proof that our boosters need to go all in on the portal. If Nebraska got just 1 of those key tackles that we were after last year, they are probably at least 9-3 and that is with our defensive problems. We cant play Moneyball. Go be a big boy and buy the best players.

This plus his extension says the University has to provide nationally competitive NIL. I guess that is subjective but I would much rather see quality players out there vs Rex, our DL etc.

You aren’t a serious person at this moment.

And you didn’t list the best you D-lineman either.
