All true.. which begs the question, why would Rhule go out and get a guy from the portal that is a known turnover machine in favor of the then current accurate thrower starter and then spin it to the fans that his new guy has an NFL arm and add in all that fullback non-sense after also running off a bunch of RB talent?
Lighten up. Thompson was injured last year and did not want to be in an offense where the qb runs some. It’s Not like CT was so good he ended up at USC. We lost by 3 to a solid team in our first game with a new staff, new offense, new defense, played well on defense and ST. Either Sims gets better or he rides the pine. We should go bowling this year.
you're delusional.. we aren't going to a bowl game this year. Minnesota is not a solid team, at all. Wait till you see what happens next week.
We're paying Rhule $9 million/year. For that kind of money, there had better be a significant talent infusion on the roster within the first three seasons.
Kid make a great play and QB put the ball where it needed to be (almost threw it too far).
A bowl game is highly unlikely. Minn is rebuilding and not that good. We have a turnover machine at QB, he stares down receivers horribly all the other teams we play will take note, spy him to stop his running ability and we then have no offense at all. The team has not progressed at all imo they still look for ways to lose. Who on this board when grant fumbled did not think we were done for?
Or to operate a running offense where the Qb is heavily involved with that as well. Sims goes down, Harrberg can come in and essentially not be any worse than Sims at executing that same game plan
I bet the D looks pedestrian next week against a more aggressive open O - Minny sucks and the QB is not that great. He made a few throws but he missed alot and had a deer in the headlights look. I actually think we lose big to the Buffs and that Simms does not finish the game.
Fully agree. You cannot have four turnovers and beat most any team. Then add two of them in the final three or so minutes. Oline once again did not look good. You can coach all you want but there is limited talent in that area. Way too much passing. Sims will not make it past three or four games without an injury if this continues. But it was the first game!
I expect better play calling when we’re holding a small lead in the 4th, I expect to not see two false starts inside the 5 yard line, and I expect to see better decision making from our QBs. For the better part of almost 2 decades Nebraska football has found a way to lose, found a way to gift wrap close games and hand them over, it gets tiring it gets disheartening! Like I said I wish I could say I was surprised on the outcome, but sadly once we fumbled the only thing that came to mind was ”Nebraska gunna Nebraska”. Until we can get mentally strong kids we will continue to do these things, the coaches can be better at teaching basics, at play calling or getting gets in a position to succeed, but at the end of the day it’s up to them to make the throw that counts, make the right reads, get separation from the DB, hold on to the ball, or make the stop on 3rd down… the D showed improvement as the game went on, the offense showed some as well, then crapped the bed when it counted… I expect better from the coaches and the players 3* or not, you’re in scholarship
