Certainly a single factor but ask yourself this, did that group improve over the year? How about a WR room that was not prepared to lose two starters, where was that development? How about our TE play, basic at best. It is just too easy to point to the QB issue and call it a day. And I failed to mention RB which was a disaster with injuries as well.All three QB’s we’re more of the reason than anything we conjure up..
so we mostly likely overperformed.Certainly a single factor but ask yourself this, did that group improve over the year?

One wide receiver quit right before first game, two other hurt, tight end coach DUI/DWI then fired, new coach was brought in or already on team, I forget? Lots of the “curse” still around even after bringing back Frank the Tank Solich..Certainly a single factor but ask yourself this, did that group improve over the year?

the TE coach was an on-staff analyst who was promoted to TE coachOne wide receiver quit right before first game, two other hurt, tight end coach DUI/DWI then fired, new coach was brought in or already on team, I forget?

I have to side with Kong on this. This was Rhule's first season at Nebraska, not his first head coaching job. Great coaches have **** figured out after their second year. This was his 11th year as a head football coach. 11th.Just STOP your drivel..
year 3 record is a lot betterI have to side with Kong on this. This was Rhule's first season at Nebraska, not his first head coaching job. Great coaches have **** figured out after their second year. This was his 11th year as a head football coach. 11th.
He is a 52-50 College Football HC and he'll stay a .500 coach until he starts learning how to be otherwise.
Not against teams with equal or better talent.year 3 record is a lot better
we've said this every year for the past 5.Schedule for this upcoming season sets up like a dream.
7-0 start with a top 10 ranking and in that first "playoff reveal" that they will totally do.
The original post that got this started referred to the weak teams we played. Do you think this team played up its capacity?so we mostly likely overperformed.
QB was the biggest, chronic issue while the other issues were there but not to the same magnitudeThe original post that got this started referred to the weak teams we played. Do you think this team played up its capacity?
The casual observer looks at QB play and goes oh that’s the problem. Or better yet, the problem is ALWAYS play calling. I would submit it was much deeper than that. Line calls, blocking calls by the QB, route changes by the QB call, and more reading and communication issues that take place in a game and few people understand.
