Team seemed to show some fight at the end. I like the fact we saw some new faces. A lot to build on moving forward… It’s tough to move from a WR coach to HC and expect a ton of improvement in one game.

Overall Grade: B

Five days to fix five years. Against a likely playoff team.
He will have NU bowling this year. Book it

He's no doubt got a difficult job.

They did try to make some changes, in scheme and personnel.

We didn't see any dumb onside kicks.

Hard to have a lot to go on. The offensive line just really makes everything a hot mess.

Let's just see how the season turns out. If it goes like we think it will then whatever, go Urban. If it turns out alright then good for MJ. Either way, for the love of god, get rid of Frosts best man

Incomplete.

This was going to be a total ***-whipping no matter who was coaching today. Not giving Mickey a pass, just not drawing any conclusions from this debacle.

Everything has to be put in perspective. The first time you have sex is very rarely a man’s best performance. Hopefully MJ will get a few years to figure it out on the job.

Some of you sure seemed to expect a lot of a head coach that had 1 week to prepare, with coaches he didn’t pick.

Mickey has been a coach for what twenty years? For a considerable amount in the SEC at LSU.

Difficult to assess

but at the slightest hint of adversity the entire team just quit - just like the last 4 years

Huskers will be lucky to win 4 games. Joseph is a great guy, but he's not our HC answer.

After today no one is saying “We are so close” but it’s okay we need time to de-frost 😂

Probably not… Don’t think for a minute if he wins 5 games and gets us in a bowl game you would have to consider him and let him get his own assistants..

You mean at the end when their 4th stringers were in?

Great first drive ob both sides...then complete face palm til the final drive on both sides of the ball.. Chins needs to go away by tomorrow and take Raiola with you.. his nephew isnt coming anyway.... offer Aranda 8-10 mil to bring everyone but a wr coach and a RB coach..

If you think 8-10 million is what it will take you are wrong. We will have to pay 12ish to get a top tier guy. Mickey might take the job for 8 mil.

No way is it far to give MJ a grade for this game. He had just this week to prepare for a game....with coaches he did not choose....and a set roster. You think he doesn't want some of those coaches gone?
Some of these comments are unreal.

MJ shouldn't be graded on this; it's not his fault. He's had 5 days to prepare for a great OU team with a team that couldn't win a shootout with GA Southern. Talent problems are everywhere as are the results of the lack of solid coaching the last 5 years.

It was ugly, but I do feel MJ did what he could with the time given.

You do realize Oklahoma had the student managers playing by the beginning of the 4th quarter (probably) by the middle of the 3rd quarter?

Had OU kept the starters in Knebbers might not have gained another yd and given up another 21 pts.

Don’t see how we can even grade Mickey this week. 4 days to prep against the #6 team (and a legitimate playoff contention team)? Get real!

We looked great in the first 4 minutes but we clearly overmatched in every aspect. We had no chance. Anybody that thought so is delusional.

I’m reserving grades until after the Indiana game.

Run along with your references and go help Ferentz’s run a offense..
