7-3 baby! This team is slowly getting better! Enjoy Husker Nation! GBR!
NU VS UCLA 2ND HALF GAME THREAD!
- Thread starter DerHusker
- Start date
I think bitching about the linemen downfield was an after the matter effect of needing a timeout to sub and set the defense.
A well called game by Dana. Not afraid to put the load onto EJ and let TJ manage the game. He made some clutch throws. Kid is a smooth operator.
1 step at a time. This is our 1st winning regular season since 2016 and we haven't won out there in 30 years.
We've gotten better on offense the last three weeks, becoming primarily a running team feeding Johnson rather than a passing team relying on an OL who cant pass block.
If we can keep Trae committed. This team is gonna be set at the QB position for years to come!
He was challenging whether Nico was past the LOS when he released the ball. A lineman downfield can’t be challenged.
He's been getting terrible advice all season then. Pretty sure we're 0-for the season in challenges.
Trae is a lock so long as the staff stays.
Like you said. I’d lay money his teammates cringe at all of his manufactured mannerisms. He’s still a good dude.
TJ made some guys look good tonight.
He wasn’t challenging IMO. He was just bitching so they would watch the downfield ineligible closer.
Thank you but both you and I know any request to review from Nebraska gets thrown in the trash by big-10 league officials
Welp all DONU programs won this weekend. Football, Men's and Women's BBall, Volleyball and Wrestling. All but football, won in blowout fashion.
Emmett now has 1132 yards and 204 carries which that leads the nation and 36 receptions for 300 yards on the year. Just imagine how many yards he would have now if they woulda concentrated on running him from 1st game. I'm saying maybe 1500-1600 yards by now. Emmett woulda had a lot more yards, both rushing and receiving had he been used properly this year. Emmet does however lead the nation in combined total yards from scrimmage in both rushing and receiving.

Barthel should be on the hotseat more so than Donovan. We have one serviceable back in his year 3. And Emmet almost left if not for Dana. I can't speak for his coaching, but his recruiting sucks.
The Cook kid from Jacksonville State had 127 yards today putting him at 1181 yards. Still, he’s in 2nd and tops in the power 4!
I just saw that, I don't even count that dude as he plays in weak conference. That kid wouldn't get the yards he has playing in this conference. He ain't better than Emmett. Cook can't catch passes for crap. He had 2 receptions for -6 yards today.

My grandma could get 100 yards at jacksonville st. Only conferences that matter are big 10 and sec.

24-yd Pass
7:15 - 4th
Shotgun #9 N.Iamaleava pass complete deep left to #7 M.Matthews caught at NEB30, for 24 yards to the NEB26 (#21 R.Guthrie), 1ST DOWN. NEB is challenging the ruling on the field - "Forward pass". CALL UPHELD
3rd & 11 at 50
Earlier in the game Nico was across the line of scrimmage when he threw the ball thankfully it was a incomplete pass
I never said otherwise. But saying the challenge didn’t cost NU in the end is quite different than pretending it didn’t happen. Someone up in the booth effed up on a call that wasn’t close.
I think the coaches wanted to limit his touches earlier this season because he’s basically the only option. Plus using him more in earlier games would’ve exposed him to possible injury.
Good thing he seems to be peaking now.
He’s definitely a physical specimen but has never lived up to his potential, he was suited up last night he was stranding by a coach
