1: Benhart has played more games than any Husker ever over 6 years and in his final ever play he gave up a strip sack to lose to Cockeye. Amazing.

2: I will be haunted all off season about Neyor's drop. There was a decent chance that he scores on that play. It sums up our season as a whole..... A chance to win dropped.

3: What would our record be if we could just score two touchdowns a game? It doesn't seem like much to ask that a program with Nebraska's resources to find the endzone twice a game. I know DC TW is taking heat because at times the defense looked lost but there was only one conference game where the offense even had a clue. (Wisconsin)

4: Ed Foley had a chance to be an absolute fan favorite with his small town, down home, good ol boy persona. Instead we need to purge him from the program and replace him with a capable football coach. Turns out that glad handing isn't the important part of the job.

5: In the end Dylan showed that he is talented but is a freshman above all. Although a solid foundation has been set, it did come with all of the expected bumps along the way. At least we know he has the resources to pay for whatever guru training he will need in the off season. I was skeptical of him as a recruit. I hated the never ending multi state tour of visits and appearances. But after all that he showed he is a football player. Now to fine tune.

6: @slattimer would need to chime in, but I really like how our goal line run game results in TDs that aren't even close to being stopped. Dowdell regularly walked in or landed 2-3 yards over the line. There weren't many pile ups where the refs had to make a judgement call on the TD. Same goes for 3rd or 4th and short situations as well. That has to be a sign of good line work.

7: Fuck Cockeye and their handshakes. At the same time, you don't need to pray on the 50. Pray in the locker room and drop the performative religious nonsense. Prayer is meant to be a private conversation between you and your lord. Also, fuck everything I saw this weekend involving the 50, flags and brawls. Boo hoo, they didn't shake my hand. Boo hoo, they waved their flag in our faces. Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo. ITS A FUCKING GAME WHERE YOU LITERALLY HAVE 60 MINUTES TO THROW EACH OTHER ON THE GROUND AND YOUR FEELINGS ARE HURT BY A FLAG? Baseball does the same pussy shit "Oh, he didn't run fast enough around the bases after the home run. I'm going to throw at the next guy." Wanna fight? Join the boxing team, bitch.

6: Why does it take us until the end of the season to realize Emmett Johnson is the best RB in the room? That's two years in a row. If he leaves it's our own fault.

7: I won't be surprised by anyone leaving outside of Dylan. Football has become so stupid because of all this NIL payment shit that we should just be ready for chaos starting Monday. We will also benefit from it because we will be paying for some dudes as well. (Or at least we better be)

Maybe I'll add some more later.

Do you expect Benhart to opt out of the bowl game? If not, he’s got the chance to end on another note, no?

Great post. Benhart doing Benhart things. Just when we think we’ve seen it all from
him, he surprises us again.

And Neyor will be remembered for all his bonehead drops and losses to defender more than any catch. What a waste.

And totally agree on the handshakes, prayers and flag planting. What a bunch of pussies we’ve become.
 
While Benhart was the tackle that the defender got by, this was also an awareness issue by DR. Dylan needs to have better pocket awareness and step up into the pocket instead of standing there looking downfield.

Thankfully on DR15, this year's tape that he'll work with a professional on will definitely help him in season 2.

I'm glad we are going but bowl games outside of the college football playoff are meaningless. So, I don't care what he does in a game that doesn't count for anything. Hopefully if he plays it's just for a handful of snaps and we deploy next year's candidates for the job.

Benhart was solid most of the year. I remember the good old days of hearing his name more than you want to during broadcasts. It was nice not hearing about him this year. I think these bowls are mainly garbage but for momentum purposes hopefully we do everything we can to win the game. We haven’t had a winning season since Riley’s second year.

Have to get a W in the bowl. Another losing season is unacceptable
 
That’s why I would rather play an inferior opponent. If we were a 7-8 win team it would be a different story, but if you don’t win that bowl it’s just another losing season.
I want to see the staff with 3 weeks to prepare for a team that is as good or better than them. This should be the hungriest Nebraska has been in years and if Rhule can't use that prep time and that fire to punch above their weight...

I don’t have faith Rhule would win the game unless the other team is checked out. Our special teams will fuck it up and hopefully it’s not against team with a mobile qb who likes to run rpo.

We have proven over and over that we can do everything right outside of 1-2 plays and lose. It’s typically specially teams where we see the 1-2.

If we don’t fuck up the punt return or if we can just snap the ball to the holder we beat the faggit dipshit ferentz fucks.

If there isn’t a demonstrable commitment to special teams in the off-season you might as well start writing coaching hot boards

Special teams is culture. It’s why Cockeye wins 6 games with a negative EPA margin a year. Guys come in as freshmen and get harassed about their effort and angles on kickoff team and they apply it to their job for life. It’s minute, marginal shit that wins you football games in the big ten.

Perfect encapsulation of all our issues right now is that Isaiah Garcia Castenada is on the roster solely to fair catch punts (paid position btw) and hasn’t been adequately coached to own his unit and call poison in a situation like that. He should have the best understanding in the world of how and when to call it.
