This horrible football is not fun to watch. Is Nebraska every going to play good football again?

Turner stopped for some inexplicable reason

I'll say one thing about Bo. I always assumed there was just some weird dislike of Turner coming into play by his benching. It's become obvious this season, he's just not very good at football. Ton of raw talent, but can't or won't put it together.

Fitzgerald is seriously going to argue over that call? My God, if that wasn't pass interference, they should just repeal the rule.


He wasn't arguing the call. He was yelling at the safety. His words to him: "you are a half field safety, what the f*** are you doing?" We rewound it to hear what he said. Haha.

Plenty of division 1 talent on this team. A lot of coaching issues (clock management, play selection, strategy, keeping team focused at end of 1st half, etc.)

Clock management issues are the result of a QB with an IQ of 50. This team is extremely low on talent.

This is painful to watch, was hoping for some domination in this game like Minnesota. Instead we step back to the norm.

They didn't look bad against Southern Alabama either, but I would like some consitency. It seems that the Huskers have always been on the verge of putting it all together, but they never do.

Northwestern has a very good defense. It's the ENTIRE reason they started 5-0. Also, if you're looking for consistency out of our offense, you'd better wait a year when hopefully Stevenson can take over the runningback duties and someone can beat out Tommy.

I know it's hard to believe but this has been Husker football for most of the past 15 years. And given we will still have most of these same players in key roles next year, including the qb, it may be at least two years before it gets any better.

Then maybe stop watching? I'm yelling at the tv more than the average guy and it sucks to lose but to say it's not fun is asinine. Caring, cheering, yelling and getting into it is what is fun. We'll get better. Too much going for this program to never have a good team again

Wow. The time of possession for Nebreaka is about 3-1 in our favor........and just a two point lead.

This is why I wasn't so quick to jump on to the bandwagon of turning the corner after the Minnesota win.

We are dominating this game on the whole - except for the QB runs by NW and the scoreboard (thx to INT pick 6)

We have more talent than every team we've played

That's.....just not true. Especially at the skill positions. We have more DEPTH than a team like Miami and even Wisconsin but at the skill positions, we are sub-par compared to most of the team's we've played.

We will not have an appreciably better team until we get a better coaching staff. What we're seeing now is merely an extension of Riley's average coaching career.
