He's not wrong. IU staff out coached Nebraska in every single way. Nu staff is terrible

Can’t disagree. Once again, I’m jealous of a program that used to be a punching bag. This time it’s Indiana.

Top teams will have problems with that offense. Looking at their schedule they have a great shot at the playoffs. Osu v indiana should be a fun game.

The defensive red flags were there a month ago. The national media wasn’t watching close enough.

I also don’t think Indiana’s offense is some elite group.

Cignetti: "I know there was a national perception Nebraska had a pretty legit defense on a national scale, so maybe this will open their eyes."

So he’s not just an a-hole he’s a dumb a-hole. Way to pump your teams rep up by bad mouthing the opponent you just beat.

They don’t have to be elite. They weren’t fumbling the ball and they were converting long third downs. They chewed up that clock and did great in the red zone. They are light years ahead of us. It is crazy.

I don’t disagree that he seems like a narcissistic prick…..but if you can back it up, what’d ya gonna do?

I took him to mean their offense is legit, like they beat a somebody. But I didn't listen live, I only read his comments.

I'd have to see the quote in the context of the video... But I don't know if he was badmouthing us. I think he could have meant there was a preception that we have a good defense. And because they beat us so soundly it would raise some eyebrows nationwide.

It’s because everyone’s a snowflake. Can’t call the obvious out. Local beat writers and coaches and I quote - getting Ty Robinson back is better than recruiting a 5*. And that’s the mindset.

What a cvnt
He is a jagass, but he wins. Someone asked him who he consults with, and he said no one. He would ask himself. he is a winner and if you don’t believe him, he’ll tell you to Google it. Would love to see a team like Texas or Georgia push his **** in.

Our own fans are saying way worse - not sure what the problem is for stating facts. A good defense doesn’t give up 56 to anyone.

There is no arguing with the guy. He could call Rhule a ***** and wouldn’t be wrong. After dominating a team from top to bottom the way they did, say whatever you want. Until we have a new coaching staff, we deserve to get out noses rubbed in it. Many more of these to come.

He can talk as much **** as he wants. He slapped his dick on our head 56 times today. The ************ wins and I don’t give a **** if he’s a dick. We need a winner.

Totally agree. I’d throw Rhule and his retarded flunkies in the garbage tomorrow if Cignetti wanted to be here.

IDGAF about Georgia pushing anybody's **** in. We need to. Husker football is a multi-million dollar enterprise. We the fans show up, we buy and we donate and it isn't for this kind of piss poor results.

I’m pretty sure this was his intent.

My comment above was to cover both perspectives. Indiana didn’t dismantle some incredible defense with an incredible offense.

My guess is OSU will beat them handily. We have a knack for making teams look better than they truly are.

That’s how I read it. But the hell of it is, no matter how he intended it? He’s right.

What he meant is his offense is just okay and they went against a bad defense. Totally how Cignetti would talk about his team.

Yeah he seems like the kinda guy who’s more concerned with us looking bad than IU looking good. Makes sense

Yeah he wasn’t give us some compliment that we have a great D, but their offense is just that good.

He’s openly mocking Rhule and our team. Rightfully so. We deserve that and more.

If you were paying attention since the NIU game.....we are not even close to an elite D. They whooped our ***, but I'm skeptical we are any better on D than NW or Maryland. Just average. And our O is way below average

Cignetti was referring to Indiana not being taken seriously by the media and analysts. He was complimenting the Nebraska D as legitimate (good) and meant that the IU dominance against such a legit defense should cause those that doubted IU to open their eyes. It was definitely not intended as a knock on the NE defense.
