It would be more accurate to say “We get our playmaker the ball”
Last I checked CT touches it every play and the times it’s not going to Palmer it goes to Grant

Trey could end up with 1,500 rec yards this year, which would best the current Husker single season record by like 50%

After Addison last year and Palmer this year, big time WR’s should be lining up to play for Whip!

Of course CT touches it every play. He is the QB. So that is true of every team and certainly is not what Whip is referencing here. Grant is a good back but he hasn‘t exactly been a playmaker lately. I don’t think he has had a run longer than 8 yards or so in a long time. Not his fault. Offensive line sucks. But he has not been a play maker. Oliver Martin has had two big catches on long passes but other than that name a player other than Palmer who you would call a playmaker for us in the sense Whip means here

I think our problem won’t be recruiting WR’s if MJ sticks around. We already got a crop lined up, but these other position groups need their version of MJ to bring in the talent.

How many throw away years in a row have we had now? Remind me. My pessimism with regard to the program is justified. And this year’s team could be called many things, but “fun to watch” isn’t one of them.

the entire riley and frost tenures were throwaways

don't let those losers tarnish the Mickey Joseph era, however short lived it may be

you def have a point.. after MJ took over, there is a much different mood.. it's not the same team as it was in the beginning of the season.

I think it's yet to be seen. Indiana and Rutgers are probably the two worst teams in the B1G. Hopefully we won't be the third worst.

this just can't be

indiana beat illinois, a team with the number 1 ranked who gives a f*ck and I've been assured are certain to pound our brains in 2 weeks from now

That's maybe fair, but I would argue that MJ has probably already squeezed out much of the juice available for the talent we have, so the results are going to end up being mixed in the win loss column, but he's going to need better playmakers to make improvements next year, so that is sort of where my emphasis goes.

I will be interested to see what happens to Purdue after barely beating us last week. Do they have the curse and go winless now or?

they're short underdogs (+2.5) in madison against a reeling wisconsin team after squeaking by as 2 TD favorites last week

Vegas usually knows a little something

And still have a losing season.

Nebraska mindset up until 2017- a winning tradition. A tradition of excellence.

Nebraska mindset after 2017-we get our playmaker the ball.

Most trolls get tired of their trolling after a few days. Only the hardcore live in parents’ basement type have the time and energy to post as long as Frank has. How sad.

Hey, he's got more likes than posts. This place has enough morons in it that encourage the trolls, it's easy to see why they keep coming back. You and I even discussing the dipshit will provide him with enough jerkoff material for the weekend.
