Who knew the Steel Curtain was in town. This OL sucks. Good grief. And how was that not PI in the end zone.

I cannot get over how blatant that PI was. How can that not be called there?

Is that not roughing the kicker because the ball was tipped? Looked like their edge guy took the kicker out.

Are you hoping they lose? Honest question....

Great question. I honestly do not hope Nebraska loses. It should be obvious. I do, however, think Mike Riley was and still is a terrible coach and I disagree with Eichorst on many levels. I believe Nebraska (and certain fans) have their head in the sand and are unable to forecast and adequately analyize this football team and are more than happy letting this dumb coach continue. This is a horrible football team in year three. We're better than this but apparently some folks are ok with that.

Thanks for the question.

So glad I'm at work and not watching this.
26 passes in the first half against NIU????
I had held out hope against all logic/facts that MR could work out. It's not going to work out........
The first half against Oregon wasn't an outlier......

How many assistants does a head coach get to fire, before we realize that maybe the head coach is the issue? Riley's a good guy but he is a career loser, and losing becomes a habit.
Oh don't get me wrong...Riley sucks. But somebody has to coach unfortunately.

So here we are again! How did we get here? Narrowly beating Ark St. Embarrasing and sloppy game at Oregon. Now losing by two TDs to NIU with another sloppy performance by our third year coached team under Riley.
Please show me how Riley is the man for the job. He is losing this team and more fan support each week. Clearly another year on Riley's contract by Eichorst only proves the head office is just as blind.

Are the fans still holding their red balloons? First time in 10 years we've been shut-out in the first half - and it comes against a directional school that finished 5-7 last year.

Fans booing, deservedly so. Piss poor product presented to fans & they know it.
Sorry to disrupt the narrative, but as far as I could tell in the stands, most people were booing the (all too common) terrible officiating at the end of the half. Not happy with the game, but we should have had four opportunities to score from the two yard line.

No more. Blo replaced way too many as well. This is all on the Head coach and the guy who hired him

can't pass block for a qb who has lead feet and is inconsistent in getting the ball to inconsistent receivers. keep it between the tackles and keep it within reach...heres hoping the 2nd half is better.

Shut out because it's apparently now legal to tackle a receiver as the ball is coming to him. Not to mention, they've been hanging all over our receivers all game long, with zero penalties to show for it.
