Unfortunately, Wisconsin just held the 10-0 #1 team in the nation to scoring 16 points. Our offense has their work cut out next week.
I didn't watch the game, (watching MMA). I'm guessing they shot their wad today and likely to come out flat like NU did after that close loss to OSU. JMO

Our game today was expected to be relatively close, Wisky likely burned a lot of emotional fuel in their effort at home to beat the Ducks. I say that weighs in NU's favor.

Their situation is very similar to ours.

3rd and 3 inside the 15 is still a passing down...so DH is more or less a push with Satt
Should have run it there and if close to making it, run on 4th down. That was the only play call I really hated, whereas under Satt I hated at least a half dozen every game. That started with the first NU game he called. It was against Minnesota. We just went ahead by running for chunks and the next series late in the game he came with three straight passes to go 3 and out.

I had a funeral this afternoon and didn’t get to see anything except the final drive.

I’m a bit surprised not to see anything about the offense. How did the DH offense look?

I get people are pissed off. I am too. But still… how did things look for the offense? Stats don’t look too terrible… was DH noticeably better?
creativity was noticeably better, execution still struggling.

It was damp cold and insanely windy at times. Oregon left a ton of points on the board.

And most importantly, Hunter Wohler their best defensive player went out with what looked like a concussion in the final few mins. Looked like he might have lost consciousness.

Would be shocked if he was back for us.

He had 12 tackles when he went out

The more Nebraska football you watch, the easier it is to lose sight of the fact that other college football teams don’t have the same problems.

I watch a ton of college football, usually 12 hours on Saturday, but we had people over to watch the MMA fights.

I agree, there are so many teams out there that just don't have those "weekly" issue that we've had for the last 8 years.

All of us fans know what good football looks like, sadly we have to watch other teams and sometimes our opponents remind us what it actually looks like.

We scored 13 ( 1 TD on O) offensive points against a ****** D. Not seeing the huge upgrade that others are seeing. Oh the little things.. I see..

A near pick in the EZ that would’ve dropped to the ground but bounced off NE player into receivers hands for a TD and a third down pass that’s tipped at the line and bounces off NE into receivers hands for first down, one of those types of plays happens maybe once a season for most teams yet they happen to Nebraska weekly.

We should know by now Nebraska will always be playing the opponent and the refs week in and week out.

Two RZ drives that end in FGs instead of TDs and the creativity to try and score was still horrible.

The football gods are still holding the Frank Solich dismissal against us. The football gods hate Iowa due to their sh1tty fan base and they hate Nebraska football due to the unceremonious dismissal of Solich. :(

I think the more DH sees the more it will take shape.

It should be a huge red flag that the rhythm of the game looked way better with 1 week of DH cramming.

Satterfield had the full offseason plus last year and still found absolutely nothing.

Now we need execution to be better. I did see some positives, but not even close to enough.

I also liked how DH was willing to keep more personnel in that didn’t tip the cap to what would happen.

Sorry for your loss, OP
The pride joke hit too close to home ?? We all know you and your SEC-husband aren't gonna handle the B1G winning back-to-back-titles very well. Good luck Rambo, your 15 alts ain't gonna change the future. Karma is gonna keep dancing on your extremely unhappy head.

OP shared a personal anecdote where somebody close to him passed away

You made an off color comment referencing it

He makes lots of movement but doesn't move. Dudes' knees are toast.
I agree, BUT, they insist on throwing the ball to him, I'm just suggesting they try to move him upfield and away from the LOS.

In a 3-4 second timeframe, he's gonna move as far upfield as he does laterally.

Raiola failed to see Banks wide open for a go ahead TD. Offense much more fluid. Nice tweaks that USC adjusted to in the second half. Still not really committed to the run in the redzone.
Play it back at .25 speed. Dylan sees the play unfolding.

I'm thinking Banks got too deep on that play. We only needed the 6 for the FD.
If he scraped the DB, went to the 5 it was an easy throw, instead he went down to the 2 and got himself blocked by traffic. If Banks stops at the 5, its an easy, wide open First Down.

I don't want to make excuses for either DR or JB, but I think Banks went too deep early. I think that's why Dylan didn't go there. NOT making an excuse for either of them, its just what the play looks like.

It seems like a CEO type coach could be free enough to handle that part of the game. But clearly that’s too hard for him. Makes you wonder what Rhule actually brings to the table.
He's like the CEO who fires the CFO because of cost overrides. Not taking into account the ill prepared production manager (WR coach) and the out to lunch advertising campaign manager (Foley) run departments that are hemorraging money.

My take was all the traffic on the underneath route scared him off. Those are the kind of plays where the old “Big Red Wrapup” featuring a coach on film review were fun to hear analysed

Meh. Our play caller couldn’t call plays and some of his play designs sucked. The WR coach can only deal with what he’s given to work with. I think Dana will fix that. I expect that Dana will have a large say in who goes and stays on offense.

But to pretend like Satt takes 100% responsibility on the entire offense is not right.
He sucked, but that was compounded by the lack of the WR coach demanding those kids perform.

Dylan looked at Banks for 4 seconds before he broke the play off and went to Emmitt.
If anyone effed the play up, it was Banks.

I thought the issue was more the inside receiver (Bonner?) not getting deep enough. It seems like he should have been running to the back pylon and didn’t get near deep enough, bringing his man into the play.

ALL that traffic had cleared by 3 seconds. There was a wide open lane for Dylan to throw out of if Banks would have stopped at the 5.

Slow it down to even 50% and you'll see.

The play shows all the traffic cleared at 3 seconds and Banks is too deep. Had he stopped at the 5, he was wide open.

I’m not sure his eyes and brain were still focused on Banks by that time.

Fidone looks and plays like robot. Should never target him going east west. Im afraid we have gotten all we have gotten out of him the way we are currently using him.


Holla

He’s made plays over the middle and is somewhat difficult to bring down, but he he’s not getting open or they’re not looking for him. It is a crime how they misuse him

That's my point. He needs to be used in a way that he's moving north south and not sideways. He doesn't have that flexibility or fluid hips to even do that.
