North Dakota got exposed tonight!

Nebraska Cornhusker Football Leadership: Head Coach: Matt Ruhle Athletic Director: Troy Dannen Owner: PJ Fleck

Easiest grade of the season. Dominated a fringe ranked team start to finish. I can only think of two individual coaching decisions I quibbled with. First was a punt on fourth and short around midfield. Second was a third down run out of the wildcat formation. I withdrew my objection to the...

Maybe at times but certainly not last night!

Its weird that Nebraska still gets considered somewhat of a blue blood. We are as much of one as they are: both programs had a very impressive level of success at a time when the current players were not alive. Not saying historic success should be discounted, just cant figure out why the two...

If I go game by game, I think Rutgers is the only one that significantly positively improves my outlook on the team. Buffalo and Purdue wins were a little underwhelming given that i expected them to be low stress wins, nw state was exactly what I expected, feel like we managed to lose one we...

I like those helmets!

That's a good point, and as with most things, I think the extremes end up being intellectual dishonest and the loudest voices in the room. If a program gets to a point where they are stagnating in "pretty good but not great, and no reason to think staying the course gets us over the hump," there...

I think three key factors contribute to his longevity here. First, a school whose success in the last half century or so is such that expectations are manageable (he's not going to get fired like Pelini did for a stretch of only winning 9 games a season). Second, even though the ceiling hasn't...

More impressive that he is looking so good with the weird target on his back that comes with success at any school who the talking heads dont think belong at the beautiful people ball. For so long it was "they are paper tigers who got lucky with a weak schedule" (ignoring that even very good...

The coach does have a vest that says "T.E.A.M." on the back, so im a little surprised that isn't leading to more success.

Who has Purdue beaten to put them in the "pretty clear" better than you thought? I thought they were bad, but not bad enough that Beating ball state or southern illinois moved the needle.

I think Fickell is my new favorite NCAA football coach!

A wins a win. I was in no mood to suggest that our losses were any less losses when we outgained Iowa and still found a way to lose, so I wont try to make this any less than a win. Still some things id like to fix.

Assuming we would have lost to OSU last year, we would have needed to go 8-0 against the rest of Indianas schedule to do that. Given that we actually lost to the Michigan team that Indiana beat, and we lost to a 4-5 Rutgers team, im not sold that we would have gone 8-1 against that schedule.

I hope we pull it out. Looking at the total yardage, if we do, we stole one

So, for the record, im now hearing the argument that Indiana Hoosiers football as at a structural advantage over us that makes us unfairly stuck on a lower tier?

I cant get over that, in a close game, we left four potential points on the field because our coach is too stupid to know how a clock works. I watch a lot of football, I can't remember ever seeing a team run out of time when they got the ball with that much time and three timeouts.

We had 3 timeouts and almost two minutes, and have to settle for a field goal on second down. That is horrible clock management. How can a big ten team possibly be that incompetent at the two minute drill? Whatever positives PJ has, this kind of in game management is a horrendous liability for...
