Didn't realize that the Huskers play them both next year....... Both looked solid last night. GBR!
SDSU and Cincy

If we are fretting about S Dakota st and Cincinnati in year three then we might as well have kept Mike Riley and company and saved a bunch of coin.
If Cincy keeps this up, they will likely be in teh market for a new coach after this year. Luke Fickell (sp) will be a hot name if he has another good year.
Not taking anything away from Cincy, but UCLA looked terrible and UCLA still had a shot to win. Take away the two dropped fumbles by UCLA's QB and they might have won.
I wouldn't be shocked if he stayed a while. He went to HS in Ohio, played in Ohio and has spent his whole coaching career in Ohio. When he said he wants to build something at Cincinnati, it sounds genuine to me. There's enough talent in the area that he can probably recruit most of his team within a 250-mile radius with the relationships he's built the last 20+ years. Last year, he was supposedly offered and turned down the Louisville and WVU jobs, both of which are still in the area. I'm guessing if he were to jump it'd only be for a handful of schools in the area that won't be looking for coaches anytime soon.
I thought UCLA and Minn looked subpar plus they were playing teams with chips on their shoulder and nothing to lose
UCLA sucks. Despite sucking, they were still only down 10 with 7 or 8 to go; driving the ball down UC's throat, picking up 6-8 yards per run. UC is on its heels, and then inexplicably UCLA call a time out, allowing UC to regroup. And then, to top it off, after effectively moving the ball on the ground the entire drive, they go to the air. Never mind they sucked at it all night (8-26 with 2 Int). They nearly get the first horrible throw picked off, and then the QB drops the damn football, which UC recovers putting an end to the drive. That was some of the stupidest coaching to end that drive that I have seen in some time. UCLA is no barometer for what UC will do this year, IMO.
That may definitely be true. But, I would just respond with: depends WHO comes calling. Not saying USC would offer him the job if Helton is jettisoned, but if so, I would think turning down a job like that would be difficult. But, I dont know the guy, so who knows.
Exactly. Come on, by year 3 Frost is supposed to really have things going. Even most of the more pessimistic of Husker fans who can't seem to see at least 8 wins this year say next year is the year. If we have trouble with those two teams in Frost's 3rd year, we hired the wrong coach, plain and simple. As if how each team played yesterday has anything to do with next year anyway.
This year’s schedule looks like the easiest for several years. Hopefully we can take advantage.
