Preparation starts now. Damon and other football knowledgeable people talk about making sure the proper "run fits" are installed week to week. I'd like to see us properly run fit a team once this year. I'd like that team to be Iowa. Also, even to the casual fan, it should be obvious that if we are going to rush three, we have to play man. Finally, I thought TJ was solid again tonight. Wish we could've finished more drives.
Short Week, Gotta flush it.

Hard to garner any positives from a blow out by an average team. They were up 27 with 10 minutes to go in the 2nd half, so basically played prevent defense the rest of the game to run out the clock. The team must be really messed up internally right now to come out and play so poorly after a bye week. Also, a lot of **** talking and messing around while down by 3-4 scores. Like they don't even know how to act.
The Iowa game will define the season imo. Win and we’re a respectable 8-4 with a win over a team that has owned us the past 10 years. Lose and we’re not much better than we were last year, with another disappointing loss to Iowa to end the regular season. Let’s see if Rhule can motivate the team to win a very important game.
That dumb **** extension tells you all you need to know about Nebraska. They are not serious about winning and don’t give a flying **** about what the fans deserve.
If you feel pressure to extend a fvckin loser who is a .500 coach when you already gave him an 8 year deal then clearly your priority is not to give fans a winning team.
It’s laughable when we do that sh*t and the SEC fires guys for only winning 8 games, or if they have won tons of games and have one bad year.

Flush what? Rhule ow a joke and NU is stuck with this phony
Would be nice if the team could motivate themselves! I think you said the reason the team should be motivated…for the last ten years!
We can beat Iowa. Will we beat Iowa is the question.
We need to run the option with Haarberg.
We need to run the option with TJ. He reminds me of Turner Gill and Emmett reminds me of Mike Rozier.
I know you are being sarcastic, but this is not as crazy of an idea as it sounds. HH is big, super athletic and a very strong and fast runner.
Under a different coaching staff, that kid could have had an amazing career here.
Yes it's crazy, and you're wrong
Ever since the PSU job opened up, Matt Rhule has done everything to show PSU fans they are right in not wanting him. We still have a chance vs Iowa if they play the way they did against Michigan State. I would love a win against Iowa much more than a win in a small meaningless bowl game nobody will be watching anyway.
Throw their record out the window, Penn State played much more like the team that was rated #2 at the start of the year. Nebraska has to get ready to play Iowa and play well.
HH hasn't set the world on fire at TE. They could just move HH to QB and have him hammer the ball at Iowa on some zone read keepers. Haarberg is more of a banger anyway. Then have an option play ready for when you need it.
My hope is that Nebraska's staff used part of the past two weeks to secretly get ready for Iowa. It's a short week and Iowa at home is much more winnable.
Oh my god, Iowa fans are saying that their close game vs MSU was because it was a "trap game" with Nebraska next up.
We really are their Super Bowl.
We really are their Super Bowl.
I agree, losing by 5 at home to indiana was probably alot different team then losing to nw at home...I think they found an assistant coach they would play for and got them focused. I think NU could beat iowa at home but every coach and player can't bs themselfs.
Fair enough. We can say we were looking past a 4-6 team because of the Super Bowl next week against Iowa!
How do you know that? They were like 1-6 in their last 7 games with a backup qb. We were just ***...hopefully it is temporary.
We've all lived through coaches and AD's that we were stuck with. Never gets in the way of wanting to beat "rival" Iowa.
I think Johnson can run on Iowa. They haven’t been great against the run and missing a lot of tackles. Iowa isn’t gonna score enough to for Nebraska to pass like PSU did. Iowa -5.5 seems high.
I haven’t checked the point spread yet, but if it’s still -5.5 Iowa, I’ll be putting some $ on the Hawks.
Ha - zero no. Real question is do they even show up? Clarkeyes will be out for blood and with the forecasted weather it’s going to be an ugly Iowa special.
Penn St. has been playing well other than the Ohio State loss. They lost at Iowa by one, lost to Indiana by 3 and out-yarded them, won at Michigan State. Then they beat NU. Penn State is very good right now, but for some odd reason the pressure got to them after losing in double OT to Oregon. The fire Coach Franklin distraction affected them way too much.
Since joining the B1G, Iowa has travelled to Memorial Stadium 7 times - and walked victorious 6 times. Several Iowa players have never lost to Nebraska their entire playing career.
If it makes you feel better that Iowa is fretting about Nebraska - do whatever it takes to get yourself through this Nebraska football hell.
I do love that threads like this totally expose the "impostor" fans.
Those fans that are clearly iowa fans that try so hard to tell us they are not iowa fans. Then a thread like this starts and they just can't help it anymore.
They start to tell us their game day plans, they know the weather report, they start to leak out thoughts that clearly out them. Classic stuff.
I bet they go and "report back" too.

Both teams are likely in a defining game to some respects.
Iowa and Nebraska have both struggled in games against Top 25 games.
Iowa lost all 4 games played against Top 25 opponents this season. The step forward, since bowl loss against Missouri is all one possession games.
Two protected rivalry games done. Can they make it 3-0 again this season.
After back to back 13-10 games, what will Black Friday '25 bring❓️
