Too much talent? we weren't out talented period on either side of the ball. The Blackshirts made their at the time numbers 1 Passing O and Total O look like a joke and it wasn't a fluke as they would do it again if they played, and their defense was and is a joke. Like I said, had Dylan not gotten hurt, we win the game and is a 100% guarantee. Dylan's injury took the air out of the team and USC couldn't move the ball on the Blackshirts until TJ came in and couldn't move our offense and leaving the D on the field way too long because of it as the 3 and out kid caused it. 1st half they ate us for lunch with their favorite running play the Counter Tray but we took it away from them in the 2nd half and they couldn't run or pass it. What's sad is, they had to resort to a trick play just to get them down the field, and that was barely completed. I seem to remember seeing you saying our secondary wasn't elite, your eating your words now aren't ya?
talent collapse pockets and pusnishes qb's...is this not what happened?
Their OL was no better than ours. Our secondary has far and away more talent than theirs by a long shot as well as our LBs. Like I said we win if Dylan doesn't get hurt and that is a 100% unarguable fact. Sorry bud, more talent won the game on a worn out defense? That was because mr 3 and out TJ couldn't move the offense one bit and they knew it to the point, all they did was load the box and blitz. The never even put any coverage over the top because they knew wouldn't have to and that's fact. They were only able to move the ball and score on a worn down defense. The Blackshirts made their offense look like a total joke and you can't argue that one bit as that is plain fact and 100% truth. While Dylan was in, they couldn't stop us from moving the ball to save their lives as Dylan had that defense of theirs so off balance, it wasn't even funny. You have no argument whatsoever on this. None of what I said is an excuse, it's a plain 100% fact. SC's Defense is pure garbage and that's fact as well. Our defense has more talent than they have. Our secondary is absolutely ELITE and not just because of scheme.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda.
Held the USC to their lowest offensive points total of the year. Points win games. Not rushing yards
USC’s Maiava’s ability to turn an almost sure negative play in to first downs and TDs is what beat us and showed up again against NW. He had one 3rd and goal play last night where he should have been sacked, broke a tackle then powered through 2 guys to score. He’s a “difference maker”. I’m not sure that we have an offensive difference maker. EJ is good but I don’t think he’s “that guy”.
Butlers defense is such an enigma. The secondary is possibly the best in NU’s history, but it don’t mean squat when you give up multiple 15 yard runs.
Seriously points win games? What a revelation. USC had more points and rushing yards and that led to the win.
EJ is a nice back who has continued to improve. He would be a nice back up to Love at Notre Dame, Lacey and about a half dozen other backs that are just better than him. But, he's a good one and I'm glad we have him, cause could you envision what our running attack would be this year without him? Yuck.
Being in the B1G...it's always about having good/above average line play.
I doubt he would leave if his uncle were to be let go, I think Dylan would be very happy to see a very high profile OL coach come in and shake things up. Dylan has future NFL aspirations and he needs a great or very good OL to help him achieve those goals. It's nothing personal, it's just business.
I was contesting your condemnation of the defense. The defense played well enough to win. The defense did the best job any team had vs USC. But you insist on bagging on them for the rushing yards. Which is a meaningless stat. Stats are for losers
The issue is the "fix" likely > 1 year.
I’m watching the Indiana/Penn State game. They just flashed up the top eight teams in the B1G conference. Nebraska is nowhere in sight, but…at the bottom was an asterisk that said Nebraska would be listed if they wouldn’t have lost their starting quarterback in the USC game and had cheating refs in the other losses.
Unless the Huskers are playing Akron, Houston Christian, UTEP, etc. I don't take any win for granted.
A team that was averaging over 500 yards of total offense and held 200 yards below their average and the lowest yardage total since 2020 as well as their lowest point total since 2022 as well as holding the at the time numbers 1 in Passing Offense and Total Offense to 9-23 for 135 yards and eating their receivers for lunch in the process as well as not allowing that potent Passing Offense to score through the air. So what if they had 200 yards rushing. They ate us for lunch in the 1st half with that counter Tray until the 2nd half until we took it away from them. they finished 6-14 on 3rd down. The defense was on the field the majority of that 2nd half and did it's part getting TJ the ball back more than a few times and then the tank ran empty. They won the game against a worn out defense on 6 plays for 107 yards and one of those was a 49 yard pass they barely got completed as they had to resort to a trick play just to get downfield as that was the only way they could. Those other yards were on Maiava legs and a Miller 6 yard run in the 4th. While Dylan was in there we had all of the momentum regardless if we were flubbin it up as their defense couldn't stop us from moving the ball especially. With 36 Mr. 3 and out TJ in there, they knew they didn't have to do anything but stack the box and blitz and didn't even run any coverage over the top as they knew they didn't need to.
You think you're the only one who watched the game? Take off your rose colored glasses, NU is the 35th rated team in the country with DR. I realize NU is the only team in the country that's never tried to execute a trick play. You need to give it a rest.
Love’s backup at ND is a much more explosive back than EJ.
Baylors QB leads the nation in completions (230) and attempts (366)People wanna keep hating on Dylan, let me enlighten some of you people. All while being relegated to playing behind the worst OL in DONU history with an abomination in pass pro, Dylan led the nation in 2 categories as of the last NCAA Stats which was on the 6th, Dylan led the nation in completions with 181 and 250 attempts and is rated above Mendoza from Indiana and Donte Moore from Oregon in completion percentage at 72.3% Julian leads the nation. The difference between those 3 QBs and Dylan, they have stellar OLs that give them all day clean pockets giving them forever to go through their progressions and Dylan had garbage. People kept complaining about him not getting the ball off quicker, kinda hard to do with defenders directly in his face at every turn and was still able to do everything he did. This isn't an excuse but, a plain fact. The only thing TJ has over Dylan is his legs and that's it. He doesn't have Dylan's arm or his touch on passes. Who TJ reminds me of throwing ball is YOLO Bomb Tommy. all cannon all day regardless of short, medium or long passes. He also doesn't have Dylan's intangibles or his mentality period. I love TJ, don't get me wrong. QB battle next year guaranteed will won by Dylan. Gonna love watching you guys choke on it.

98% of all of Dylan's problems this year have been the OL and receivers not being able to get off their blocks.
Emmett also leads the nation in carries at 175
Argue against his facts then. They have a sale on #15 tattoos somewhere in your area. You can put it right over your heart.Long live the poser insider @King Kong

I actually liked our chances with Lateef, as he's a QB/gameplan nobody has film on.
