Ugly Take on Satterfield

harder schedule

same OC

same OL

same RBs

the people who think we're 1 player away from 10 wins are sorely mistaken

OC is what will kill us here IMO. I think a QB is important, but a QB coach who could be a co-coordinator will be more important I think. They need to do something that’s for sure.

Probably the most disappointing thing to me this year was in response to all the turnover problems, which up front lost us games, was Purdy carrying it like he was against Iowa. I think twice he fumbled unmolested because he was carrying it in one hand, on the tip, like a baton in a track meet.
Woody Hayes would have run out on the field and cold cocked him in front of 80 thousand people.

Right now they're 10 players away from one win! Just kidding, just kidding.

I couldn’t disagree more. Can’t tell me that if we didn’t have Cam Newton on our team last year we wouldn’t have scored an extra TD and won 10 games.

We are literally one insanely talented QB away from 10-2 last season. And quite possibly beating CU to go 11-1.

But I’ll just say 10-2.

Can't forget the horrible kicking team woes, another area that needs huge improvement in a hurry.

Are they? If that one player (QB) cuts your turnovers in half you win at least 2 more games.

Great.

We need 5 more wins to get to 10, not 2.

I don’t disagree at all. Lots to fix. But a good or bad QB makes or breaks a team. Period.

We had an insane amount of one score losses. For Kong to think that an insanely gifted, top tier college QB wouldn’t have gained us ONE extra TD in in each game we played is laughable.

A top tier QB is worth a TON of points, much less 7 or less.

Add a TD to every game we had this season and there are people in Nebraska right now buying Bowl trip packages to a warm destination through their travel agent.

Be sure to let us know when Cam Newton 2.0 hits the portal, Bill

Until then, enjoy fantasyland

It’s no coincidence that this same article has been brought up twice now by a newbie and walk on who rarely posts. People please don’t feed the trolls.

It's like chum to the haters.

Yeah this is where I am. I think a better QB probably gets NU to 8 wins, but there are other holes that need patching.

For those who keep pointing to Iowa's 10-2 record, do you really think adding Deacon Hill gets Nebraska to 10-2? The answer is no, because Iowa's defense was a level above NU's and their special teams were better by a wide margin.

or...just a fact about the level of analysis by a once good but now crappy newspaper.

2 wins would get them to 7. He said 10.

 

[GBRforLife1]

The article says Nebraska lost to Iowa in overtime, so it isn't as if USA Today sports is at the top of their game.

Their writers probably don't know where Nebraska or Iowa is on a map.

There is a Cam Newton college level qb just about every year. And those are the $2M guys you were claiming would only net a half a win.

No, there most certainly is not.

Who was that this year? Maybe you could say Sam Hartman who went to Notre Dame..Who else was as good as Cam Newton?. Pretty slim..

last year it was Nix and Penix..

I like our 2024 schedule. We get the 2 easier Pac 12 teams. Open with 4 home games. Open with a G5 opponent. Super easy road schedule since OSU is a loss no matter where it is played.

I think Alvano will be fine. Would have nice to get him a few more attempts. He hit a 55 yarder so leg isnt an issue. 100% on PAT's is a good sign. That wasn't always a given around here.

The Koch kid coming next year should be a godsend. Very slim chance he's not awesome.

Sam Hartman is no Cam Newton. Not even close.

Cam was a once in a generation talent. Carried an average team and coach to a championship.
