    Not one player is better than the team

    Already had that long before getting here.

    Nelson - doghouse

    100% agree, this one is just about winning no matter what it looks like. Coaches need to watch the tape and figure out a couple things 1. How to get some stops on defense. If we run out with 6 in box like Cincy and try to stop everything with focus on pass I think we are probably cooked in...

    UCLA/UTAH

    Agree, having a mobile QB in college game is a big deal and I believe DR will be a better Pro than he is a college QB because passing game get more refined and suite a guy like him. That being said, he is helping build the foundation by getting us to a point that we win enough to attract and...

    UCLA/UTAH

    I watched game and very impressed by Utah and equally unimpressed by UCLA. Funny that Utah was 2-7 in Big 12 last year and Phil Steele had them with less all conference preseason selections than Cincinnati. Utah absolutely has enough good players to finish in top 4-6 of big and should have...

    Revised Win Totals 7-5

    Actually unrealistic standards are about the worst thing you can have. My theory is based on analytics models that say Cincy was about the 50th best team and that bottom half of Big12 is better than the Big Ten. People act like Big is good but after PSU, OSU, Michigan and Oregon it is not...

    Revised Win Totals 7-5

    Prior to season I had it broke down like this 1. Teams that were bad last (80 or lower in many models, cincy was in low 50's as comparison) year that I expect us to beat (Akron, HCU, Michigan State, Maryland and Northwester) 5-0 2. Competitive Teams (UCLA, Cincy) 3. Pretty Good teams (Iowa...

    Run Defense Concerning

    I am certainly no expert but we definitely got gashed running some stunts. Also in man alot which makes it harder for players with coverage responsibilities to help when QB scrambles which we saw multiple times. Additionally we were light in box most of night. When you count Javon focus on...

    Run Defense Concerning

    No tackles, saw a report that said 18 snaps but don't remember seeing him much. If we are looking for silver linings Nwaneri had 6 tackles and 1/2 for loss in his first game which equaled production of VP, Juedy, Leinhardt and Davis combined and was better than any husker Dline last four games...

    Run Defense Concerning

    There are a couple things to consider. Sorsby averaged over 6 YPC when you removed sacks last year so very effective in QB run game at 230 pounds despite being referred to as a statue in this thread. They also have two nice RBs and last year there top three rushers were well over 2000 yards...

    CharMar Brown. RB

    Agree. These two are great compliment to each other and protects of Emmitt were to get dinged up. Also allows staff to be bit more patient with Parker.

    Under the 4 team format, Ohio State wouldn't have qualified

    1. There are not home and home games in college (OSU had to play Oregon on road across time zone). That was probably worth a TD for oregon 2. Schedules vary so greatly between conferences and teams so one teams 12-0 might be less impressiveanother teams 10-2. 12 or 16 team playoff accounts...

    NIL money spent by school

    This data is 100% not accurate. Oregon would be in top 5 and Iowa is not spending more on NIL than Nebraska and recruiting the way they do in football. Not possible.

    Holgerson: "I had more fun on Saturday than I've had in a long time."

    I never said keeping coaches around. I am only indicating that DH/Rhule may choose to keep some of the offensive staff around if they are able to perform to his standard with a bit of coaching and I am fine either way. I think when everything is done you will see Donny and at least one other...

    Holgerson: "I had more fun on Saturday than I've had in a long time."

    Or it was so easy to fix those problems that it only took DH (a competent OC) 3 weeks. In that case this is literally the best case scenario.

    Holgerson: "I had more fun on Saturday than I've had in a long time."

    If the Wisconsin game is indicative of what he can do with our current talent he already has the right conditions. If he is able to go move the ball up and down the field against Iowa and in a bowl game then see below. -He has a QB with first round arm talent, million dollar head that loves to...
