Something I’m legit concerned about with Rhule

[CornHub]

What does it say to Anthony Grant that he isn’t playing after one fumble yet Sims gets to make countless mistakes.

Could lose some people doing shit like that.

You've literally seen both Harberg and Purdy. I'm guessing Sims is still better.

They look good so far, but they had the luxury of having very good players like Newsome, Reimer, and Hugehog around to work with. Where they lacked quality options, they went out and got quality transfers to fill the gap.

Defense could fall off bigly next year when dudes like Reimer and Newsome move on

Only Reimer, Brown, and Newsome run out of eligibility. Defense should be better next year.

Unlike his old OL?

For once, this loss was not at all on the OL. They played their best game in a while.

Those are three of the best players.. lol. Newsome shut Hunter down today pretty well.

It wasn't but, CT would still get killed behind this line. HH took some pretty hard hits back there.

If you look at the offense it’s just Kemp, Washington, and Nouili.

Premium positions in the portal are OL/DL. Not having to turn that over next year will be great long term. Grab a portal guy to shore up LT if the price is right and move Corc inside and the younger guys getting another year of reps should help.

DBs and WRs aren’t hard to find in the portal. Should be a better, deeper roster

He was a complete non-factor if not for OPI

Have you seen the OL? Not sure that they are all basically back is great either

It’s definitely better than complete turnover.

More options > fewer options every time

I feel like WR rotation is concerning.
I get depth is horrid.
But what are they really even trying to do at this point?
They got kemp in space today which is good. Washington is still a pretty meh player. Alex Bullock honestly does nothing unless it’s a blown coverage trick play that’s almost a turnover.
They just keep eliminating WRs and adding extra linemen. Which is great if the team can actually run the ball. TE can’t block and the oline even with 8 bodies can barely get a push. How many blockers did Nebraska have on the run that lost 12 yards? 7?

Get Coleman, Lloyd and Turner in the game and use the speed somehow. Run some quick screens, reverses, slants. You have to do something to get those guys in space and loosen up the D. The current guy don’t scare anyone.

Im sitting here still in disbelief we have the only qb in P5 that cannot execute a snap or handoff

Most Nebraska shit ever

 

[Huskerbuck85]

His old O-Line sucks too. And he doesn't have Trey Palmer to throw to this year. Their offense generated 185 yards of total offense total and only touchdown was an interception return. We can pine for Thompson since we are dealing with Sims, but reality is whichever QB that started for us this year wouldn't have been worth a damn and we'd still be bitching about his performance costing us games. Sims or Thompson is a lose/lose proposition.

Yes. I was being sarcastic full well knowing our OL blows

Struggles to throw a forward pass as well

 

[Huskerbuck85]

We also had the only center that couldn’t snap for 2 years. Mind boggling shit

We are inventing new ways to lose each week. Its mind numbing

 

[hothouse_corn]

I love how toxic even the best board is after a loss. We are the best of the best of the world's greatest and most knowledgeable college football fandom, for sure.

I think a lot of people are forgetting he wasn't Rhule’s first choice for his current job structure either - we had Jake Peetz lined up to probably be QB coach here before he had a change of heart.

So Sims and Satt not meshing well might partly be because it's a different arrangement than they were initially going to be in.

Honestly, I had totally forgotten about Peetz. I wonder if he would’ve gotten a Co-OC title or, as QB coach, if he would’ve had some more say in who we brought in at QB from the portal.

I'd imagine so, wasn't he slated to be QB/ pass game coordinator?

 

[Fargo Husker]

The article I found said “QB coach and another undetermined role” or something along those lines. That would make me think Co-OC/PGC.

I’ll be curious to see if Rhule makes a run at him again after this season. With Wager gone, if Rhule doesn’t see Martin as the long-term guy at TE, Satt could be moved to Co-OC/RGC/TEs (he coached TEs at Baylor previously) and Peetz Co-OC/QBs/PGC. Not a likely scenario, but who knows?
