    Pretty telling when our FB is our best back.

    Newby is good at blocking, actually really good at blocking and OK at catching, he is not a good runner at this point. I would let Wilbon get most of the running play carries. Not sure why coaches don't see this, maybe he is in the dog house or injured? Our FB is awesome at blocking and...

    Team comeback, and a team loss, I'm glad I didn't have social media when I was in college. ;)

    Where will we end up

    I was thinking 9-6 wins at the beginning of the year and 3 games in I'm thinking 9-6 wins... I like Riley we just have way tougher schedule than last year, in a transition year, lost our elite talent to the NFL, need more team talent (recruiting). Riley needs 4 years to rebuild, we don't have...

    Feels damn good to have Riley as HC

    Riley is a huge step up from Pelini, I just hope we don't cosgrove D with the DB's please tell me the players are taught to go up and challenge the ball still? That is my main concern that I've seen so far. The rest is recruiting.

    Night night Bama

    LSU is going to beat down Bama this year, LSU looks really good now that they have a serviceable QB. I think they could win it all. (LSU is one of my favorite teams to watch play football).

    Nebraska & the Big 10

    The big10 is the easiest schedule for us right now. The big 8 would have smoke us the years after we moved as they were playing high level of football right after we left. Then we came into probably one of the weakest divisions but now teams are improving in the Big10 so hopefully we improve...

    What do you take from this loss?

    We are missing some elite talent, we had some in some skill positions. We have good DT's and Armstrong is improved but if you flip over to LSU/Auburn or look at Miami's team you can still see how far we have to go. I hope we can Recruit well, coach well, and improve with Armstrong and co. Oh...

    Tell me again what's going to happen when our whole D is on the field?

    The BYU QB , Miami's QB and WR core are the best we will face. Michigan State's QB is going to be tough the rest are all toss up's but the talent of the athletes won't be as lopsided as today. I want to see how we improve from here, Miami and the Michigan state game are the toughest teams we...

    Allllll You Bolievers, Calling for Riley's head at the half

    Pelini MIGHT have beat BYU IF they stuck to the passing game because he could stop the pass but if he was coach BYU probably would have watched film and did some misdirection to get the QB or RB 20 yards a carry. But Pelini would have got smoked by Miami, they have too much talent compared to...

    Allllll You Bolievers, Calling for Riley's head at the half

    I like the heart of our team but the difference in talent level of the athletes on the other teams is crazy. We have too many holes in our team right now to compete for a championship, I think Riley is a good coach but this year is going to be tough with the Big10 playing better than last...

    Remember this is preseason everyone.

    We played a more physically gifted team and came back to tie the score. Armstrong is much improved from last year, we are just missing some other major pieces now. Hopefully Riley recruits well I think he is a good coach. Things that would help this year: Start Wilbon Have DB's look for the...

    Alex Lewis...

    This was a team loss, almost a great comeback too many drops is what really cost us the game, that and the pass D was obviously pretty off the 1st half. Hopefully we get more athletic, play smarter going forward. Like how the kids came back at the end!

    Game 3, Miami predictions

    Miami 42-17 unfortunately I think the Miami QB has a good game on us.

    Who do you think will be the next loss

    Miami is going to dominate at the line of scrimmage except for the interior of or Dline. They have a really good QB and athletes everywhere. I think this is a 60% chance for a loss type of game.

    To all the people who keep bringing up Pelini…

    Well we were clearly the better team yesterday. We had more talent, more speed, bigger plays ect. No we were pretty evenly matched to be honest. If you put BYU's QB and WR core on our team we would have rolled. We had a better D overall, and obviously special teams they were way better. Our...
