I give it a C. For once I’d say the coaching outperformed the players. There were multiple times where players were schemed open and the play was missed or a play was dead but missed tackles let it continue. The play call to have Lindsey roll out and take it himself to end the game was bananas...

I’m always shocked at how highly Sark is viewed in the coaching ranks. He’s had a #1 ranked QB back to back and transformed them from projected first round picks to day three picks. Have to wonder if they really were overhyped or if Sark is just bad at coaching QBs.
O’Connell should get charged with a crime for continuing to throw Wentz out there. Both for the pain it’s caused me and the suffering Wentz experiences every time he drops back.
I’m currently planning on going, but it will depend on ticket prices and if I can convince one of my family members or friends to go with me haha
*edited to sound less like a loser
I was pretty young and could be totally wrong, but I recall that being a weird situation where the interim tag was removed but most people still viewed him as a short term replacement which is why I considered him to basically be an interim firing.
Nebraska is so overrated. Not saying the Gophers are better, but they narrowly beat Maryland and Cincinnati and lost to the one solid team they’ve played this year. If they went by any other name they’d be ranked in the high 30s low 40s
Not to mention the player next to him rowing the boat lol. I would understand it if that score was the dagger late in the fourth, but that was to go up by four midway through the second quarter 😭😭😭
After years of complaining that Fleck runs the ball too much, my wife was stunned when she heard me complain that we weren’t running the ball enough haha
