Were those 24 rushing attempts designed run plays for Trae? Maybe they were, idk.

Not all were but the majority were.

Last time I checked, it’s a good idea to have the ball in the hands of your best player as much as possible. From our standpoint, yeah I didn’t like to see him take some of those hits, but that’s the way he plays. HUGE upgrade over what we’ve seen the past two years.

I have never gotten excited about Trae’s commitment. I always assumed he would end up getting more money from a team with deep pockets and would defect from us. Going to be hard to keep him if he is as good as advertised after we go 5-7 or 4-8 this year.

Let’s face facts. Nebraska football needs a large influx of NIL money or else we are going to continue to flounder. College football has become a semi pro money racket and only teams with sh$t loads of money will be in the playoffs. NU has “decent” levels of money, but not enough.

Whatever you say, Matt...

Will Rhule and other coaches get up to see him this season? I think they need to keep recruiting him.

He’s not wrong. Whether Rhule can build a competitive team with Additional NIL resources…. That’s another story. I don’t think he can.

1620 is already mocking Trae and a small portion of fans at the moment for his social media presence.

I mean isn't watching a random junior you don't know or care about play football kind of creepy then? If the kid is taking money, he is an entertainer, and must deal with the consequences of the decision. All football players decide to "get on stage". They don't need to. They are only paid because they provide meaningless distraction to millions of people through the drama of the sport. There are thousands of teams they could play on for free for the love of the game. They love the attention and the payouts and there are consequences for that.

Wait wut? Didnt Rhule say that he has received all that he needs to be competitive with anyone when there was a boost of NIL during the off season? I'm nearly certain that he did.

1620 mc’s gay-pride parades … maybe they’re a little high on their own supply

From what I hear, he acted like a grownup and leader on Friday, which is good.

1620 is gaf. Completely unlistenable. To listen to those hags giggle at their own stupid jokesand talk over each other is just too much.

Gary getting out is all anyone needs to know about how things are going for that place. Any talent that was there is now gone.

Agree. They’ve driven that thing into the ground.

Oh I agree completely. Tight game - let him cook! I liked watching him and that bomb he threw was an absolute dime.

Excellent point!

I used to listen to Sharpe via podcast daily from afar. Now, nothing from 1620 makes the playlist. Horrible move by them!

You could make an argument that he needs more NIL to compete with the playoff-type teams. But needing more to avoid floundering ? Needing more to consistently compete with (much less beat) the Iowa's and Minnesota's ? Unacceptable
