Yup been frustrating to hear that we are a good rushing team. Also kind of sad because I thought I remember Rhule saying that he does not count QB runs as rushing. But then he kept saying "oh yea we have a great OL cause our rushing numbers."
Run Game

- Start date
Oops, Purdy = 8.1 YPC > HH = 4.0 YPC
Another falsehood from the world’s biggest dumbass.
Off schedule scrambles the second he took the snap
Not designed QB runs to help the OL.
Re-read my post, friend.
There’s a reason the OL looked like it was improving from game 3 to game 9 and then fell off a cliff - along with the RB run game - in games 10-12.
It’s beyond obvious you are football illiterate. You’ll never understand.
You likened Anthony Grant to Leveon Bell for Christ’s sake. Perhaps the single most football illiterate post in board history
Barthel should be shown the door. Production by the running backs has been disappointing. Also, he played a big part in losing the Minnesota game by putting a known fumbler in when a turnover was the only thing that could lose the game. It’s not like we’ll lose any running back commitments if he leaves because we have zero running back commitments.
Our run blocking was pretty good in the first half, but we seemed determined not to give the rock to Johnson. Satt was a bad hire.. not much more to add
I was at the game. Iowa was selling out to stop the run. We have to have a consistent pass threat to run because we don’t have a talent advantage in our O line. Our TEs are not great either. We HAVE to get better at TE and we need more physically talented guys than Nouili on our O line. He plays hard and maxes out his ability but we need athletes like Juergens at guard. Jenkins might be okay.
When you look at our talent level pretty much across the board on offense we’re not where we need to be. Watch Oregon’s and OSU’s WRs, TEs and RBs. Watch Michigan’s O line. We HAVE to elevate our talent level to get to where we want to be offensively. We DO have a QB who now it appears to be able to get a WR the ball.
Not sure about that. Lost a lot of running backs this year. Unless you are talking about just Grant's drop off.
And the true freshman has performed pretty well. Another year in the weight room and he might be okay. Teams have since early in the year have been selling out to stop our run game and daring us to throw. That’s not going to normally make your run game look very good if you don’t have a dominant talented O line.
Who is the true freshman? The running back that Barthel brought in (Ives) hasn't had one carry.
True and this offense was never supposed to rely solely on the run game. It's supposed to run and then hit people over the top with their speedy receivers. True, Emmet has done well so far. And on the OL I think a lot of people have it wrong. I think the line is ok to average. I just think around here people are used to the OL being great to all time. We are a long way from that.
Unfortunately our lack of athleticism and foot quickness in the OL has been a significant weakness for a number of years. And until it improves our offense will continue to be challenged. Purdy rarely had enough time to throw yesterday which greatly hinders the passing game. Iowa's defensive weakness is against the deep post with a speedy receiver. It was our only TD yesterday but we couldn't exploit it since our OL can't pass protect their 4 man rush long enough to get the pass off.
More re-writing history from resident phuq-face who eats HH’s butt wind for breakfast.
HH against Purdue (game 8) = 1.2 YPC
HH against Michigan State (game 9) = 2.6 YPC
HH against Maryland = 0 YPC
You love to incessantly call Purdy “scared” of the pocket when HH tried to run out of it just as often, HH just took more sacks and had more fumbles, all while gaining HALF the YPC while playing the absolute CUPCAKE defenses on our schedule!! But in your football mind that makes him better and not at all scared
I compared Grant‘s STYLE with Bell, so of course you’re being disingenuous with that too while changing the subject for the 8000th time because you know you’re a complete moron that has nothing else to fall back on.
You’re a joke of a shill for Haarberg. Everyone knows that. I hope for your sake that you know him personally because otherwise it appears you have some kind of severe mental illness of attachment. Maybe Aspergers or something. Idk I’m not a doctor. He’s not starting next year. Everyone knows that. You need to get over it.
It looked like a tale of two halves. First half they were geared to stop the pass, running was working so we passed nearly every play and then of course both teams flipped their respective philosophies and we end up with 10 points.
NU continued to roll out to throw, essentially shrinking the field Iowa had to defend to 33%. That makes for some mighty small windows to throw into.
Now do the RB ypc because those defenses were selling out to stop HHMore re-writing history from resident phuq-face who eats HH’s butt wind for breakfast.

Northwestern is better than wisc
I know football. You do not. The end.
Yep and who ever we had playing QB would have been the same game plan..
Just like Nebraska wanted to Hill to make plays to beat us..
We started out finesse and went 0-2
Then we went power and went 5-2
Then back to finesse to wrap up the year 0-3
So no, not the same game plan at all
And it’s clear what that dope satt wants us to be
I will agree with you on no identity for the offense and satt is a terrible coordinator imo Rhule gives satt way to much leeway in the offensive game plan
Oh weird! You’re all of the sudden dropping your absolutist reasoning and want…context?? What’s that??!
Oh wait, it’s this:
NW: 71st YPC defense
Coachless, 2-6 Mich State: 67th YPC defense
LA Tech: 132nd YPC defense! Wow!
Wisconsin: 37th YPC defense
Iowa: 10th YPC defense
Then you have Maryland (18th YPC defense), a great comparison game for both QBs. One had exactly zero yards in multiple drives and a turnover. The other had 57 total yards in one drive and a turnover.
Only in your world is 0 greater than 57.
One QB ran a fake pitch speed option for a first down with wayyyyy less reps, the other sadly regressed, just kept stuttering, hesitating until the defense could make the play for 1-2 yards. Just part of what resulted in over double the YPC on the season against stiffer defenses (just going by the facts, the numbers)
So there’s your context you finally wanted. If the starter next year is on the roster, it will undoubtedly be Chubba Purdy. His flaws are at least at a coachable level, because he can consistently hit even marginally open receivers. He’s clearly 100x more polished, not just as a passer but as a quarterback. The comparison is not even close and the numbers prove it, which is why even YOU have changed your tune, now admitting “welllll maybe a transfer will start next year, we’ll see”. Because everyone else saw HH’s flaws wayyyyy before you did, but you apparently see them now. Hilarious! I’ll be rooting for Purdy to break you some more!
We had no identity for the whole season to label which games were like King is doing had more to do with what kind of defense we were facing..
Rooting for purdy = rooting for Ls
Not surprised your extremely strong feelings toward me have reduced you to that
He went away from the run after every successful run yesterday. You need to establish a rhythm and it wasn't even attempted.
Christ, we only had 33 yards rushing not counting Purdy did’t see a lot of success running the ball hard to have rhythm when your not rushing the ball successfully..
It's hard to get in a rhythm when you quit running after every 4 or 5 yard gain.
You think 11 carries paints a picture? When your quarterback has more carries than your running back from scrambles it means you didn't try.
Do you really think we were successful running the ball yesterday or for that matter, all year? We simply were not. We were down to a 185lb running back and Grant. I am not as down on Grant as others as he is a good back, he was the deal last year according to this board and this year he is the goat. Nebraska cannot make a living running the ball predominately and as pointed out by other posters, we have seriously tried and nothing to show for it. But then you would say we didn't run enough while our RBs are getting hammered at the LOS.It's hard to get in a rhythm when you quit running after every 4 or 5 yard gain.

He’s tough, a competitor and a good rep of the team. But, He can’t complete 50% of his passes against air. That loads the box.
