Same guys who couldn’t block for **** in the other 5 games (all losses)
Funny how that works
Nobody wants to give credit where credit is deserved
The oline improvement year over year and his recruiting class has blown your "Donny sucks" narrative out of the water.
The guy who can’t throw it, go figure. YPC, not so much, even with big runs against cupcakes factored in.
Can you post who our leading rusher was?
You can’t can you?
Curious brix doesn’t mention intern Don in his commitment post
Yet it looks as if he’s saved at least one guy’s job on staff and fooled plenty of dim bulbs into believing his unit “improved”The guy who can’t throw it, go figure. YPC, not so much, even with big runs against cupcakes factored in.
Funny
I…don’t think that’s what’s happened. The last two games are included in those fooled improvement games.
They didn’t. Others are saying they did. If anything is saving Raiola’s job it’s the recruits we’re getting. Color me skeptical that they’ll be coached well and live up to the hype.
It was HH by around 50 yards.
Who lead the team in turnovers? Let me guess, getting the ball ripped from his hands wasn't his fault.
What’s that have to do with the OL being hot crap and our quarterback producing yards and wins despite that fact?
How many unnecessary sacks did HH take?
The team with the 2nd most rushing yards in the big 10 is hot crap? That's one hell of a take.
What is Iowa's rush defense ranked? Did they have to worry about defending the pass? Did any team? 8 man boxes all year, still the 2nd most rushing yards in the big 10. Despite terrible qb play from three different dudes.
Oops sacks don’t count against rushing yards in college football
Yea dude. We averaged what 170 yards/game?
Did we even finish in the top 30 nationally?
None of those things are victory lap worthy
Nope, they kill drives just like fumbles and interceptions. Who led the team in those things again?
170 yards a game against eight man boxes with no passing game to speak of. I know you love stats but you got to add context.
I know the word "identity" is being thrown around a lot. I think most defensive coordinators we played against might argue that our offensive "identity" was very clear.
We had 2 qbs who had turnover issues and were not exactly Dan Marino accurate when they did throw the ball.
Hence, we ran it, a lot, which normally would be fine but we also had many injuries on the offensive line and running backs who also turned the ball over. Made for some tough sledding.
I think, if we can have an accurate passing and dependable quarterback back there, teams won't be able to stack the box and we will look like a much better team.
I think if they can continue to develop Purdy, he showed great promise. We'll see if they can pick up a proven qb in the portal.
I do agree that some of Satts calls were a bit puzzling like passing when he should have been running.
It sucks that were not in a bowl again but I'm gonna be looking forward to next season, trusting that our coaches don't screw up their quarterback selection, like they did this year with Sims.
Do you think the teams that ran for 200+ per game faced prevent all day long or something?
I agree about context. You could use some.
Go ahead and break down the run defenses of those teams for us
Two hundred yards a game? the offensive line was blocking their asses off those games.
There is one constant in every single one of those threads.Great. Another thread hijacked by HH bickering.
Guys want to point to our run game as evidence of our OL improving but can’t bring themselves to mention our top rusher?Great. Another thread hijacked by HH bickering.
Yea, context isn’t welcome when it comes to narratives
God forbid somebody includes context
Carry on, numbskull. You have zero interest in reality. Only fantasy.
We’re going to suck until Rhule gets serious about not sucking or his fat *** is sent packing
I do. And I agree. I was just shocked that our abysmal offense was ranked that highly. I assumed we were dead last in about every offensive category.
I wasn't being facetious.
Jamey Chadwell's team led the country in rushing this year
in year 1 with all new players to he and his staff
not my fault you eschew the truth as being "unserious"
What does jeremy chadwell will have to do with nebraska's offensive line?
Did he lose his top 2 running backs early in the season.
Did he have a competent quarterback that was able to complete passes down the field and help his offensive line out?
he's a good coach.
simply adding context so people know what actual success on the ground can look like in year 1 (295 yards/game)
that's what you asked for, yes? context?
Color me not impressed by the running game this year. This was perhaps the most frustrating thing for me this year. Doesn't mean we didn't make the best of a bad situation. I can understand both ends of the issue. Truth lies in the middle as always. There is a reason AG was 3rd on the depth chart this year, and EJ was 4th. HH did good until he couldn't run with the same tenacity. Sims had a couple long runs. Purdy had some good designed runs and scrambles, but at the end of the day, our RBs never got loose. Rarely ran through tackles, rarely made it past 10 yards without falling down. Is that the O Lines fault? Maybe, but I also don't think we had great RBs. Constantly missing the hole or picking the wrong one. Lack of vision. We also had QBs who repeatedly made the wrong reads with zone read, clunky mesh points, pulling the ball or not pitching the ball only to get stuffed.
So yeah, you can pin it all on the OLine and the OLine coach, but across the board, the team was not good.

Well then add the context, answer the questions I asked.
I'm sure that the two situations are absolutely identical.
their quarterback completed 58% of his passes this season, 6% more than ours combined to complete. 3 more completions per every 50 attempts.
their top back is a 5'7" transfer from wake forest
They also face inferior competition and played half of their games against 112 ranked defenses or worse
we faced a common opponent - La Tech
Liberty ypc: 6.8
Nebraska ypc: 6.5 - by far our best game rushing all season
I'm not sure Liberty has a single 4* player on their team, and certainly none on their OL
He's the guys friggin position coach for crying out loud.
I'm sure he had nothing to do with his recruitment what so ever.
Idiot.
