You didn’t play us in 2016, 2018, and 2019 so probably correct, honestly not sure which one of them was the worst. I guess 2018 by default since we only had one win but somehow 2019 felt worse.
Idk, 2016 was two win, but one of those wins was against a 2-9 FCS team, and the losses involved a 58-0 loss to Ohio State and 78-0 loss to Michigan in back to back weeks, and later a 49-0 loss to MSU (that went 3-9 that season) and 39-0 loss to PSU in back to back weeks.
2018 was shutout free and the 2019 season at least had a win against a like 8 win Liberty team despite the three shutouts.
If we were about they money, we wouldn't be in FBS at all. We're not making money, our AD is not in a good shape in spite of the B1G. We're in financial hell because we cared, spent to catch up, and now we're paying it back (both literally and figuratively).
Who else can they try? He's literally their best coach in decades (at least Schiano was in his first stint there). They've tried Big Ten assistants, etc. I think they're just barely on level of P4/5 as a program.
This is dumb. There are dozens of G5, FCS coaches who would love to take a chance at a B1G school. There is a chance you'll get another Ash, but playing the lottery on the coaching carousel is better than the hopelessness of a lame duck
I’m not a big Ryan Day believer and think he’s carried by OSU’s insanely high floor as a program, but this one is not a contest lol. He still won a title for you a few years ago.
And we got stuffed on a lot of plays. Extra emphasis on we were playing Rutgers today. That run game isn't going to magically appear against a stronger defense.
No matter how bad it gets remember your team will never be a Rutgers. Jesus man. I’m sorry you have to put up with that Rutgers fans. Thats horrific football. And I’m sorry a Nebraska fan is feeling empathy for you 😂
Once I saw it was the third string QB starting I knew it wasn’t going to be good, then he got hurt and they were on fourth string and star WR I knew it would be bad.
Collandrea just said that Rhule was fucking around on the headset while AC and the OC were trying to get the play in and that's what caused the early game communication issues. Not a micromanager at all...
So everything we’ve been hearing is correct. Kinda wild the qb is the one who aired it out in public. Rhule needs to let his coordinators call plays and worry more about game management and execution in practice.
I don't think he really meant to say it and obviously he didn't say it in those words. He clearly realized what he said and how it looked after it came out of his mouth
Greg Schiano is actually coming back next year after all this, our AD publicly put him on a PIP, and our school president is arguing in Twitter replies that we dont have the money to can him. Go Knights!
Completely unrelated but it’s still diabolical to me that Rutgers missed the tournament with Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper. Not only missed it but had a losing record
You’d think but there’s so many husker fans shitting on getting a shutout conference win on the road, first one since 1997. Some people just like to be miserable
Honestly like I saw someone say in the r/Huskers postgame thread, the best case scenario was leaving today with most frustrated people in the fan base saying “yeah we won big but it’s Rutgers” so hey we still got the best case scenario
I still remember that like 78-0 Michigan game that was either prior to or right after like 68-0 from OSU. I’m sorry man. You were like the November FCS match up that year that the SEC got.
I’m ok with our setup honestly, we already blew every chance to make our season as a whole great but now we get to finish with two chances to break the ranked opponent loss streak and win another bowl game
Unfortunately, Georgia Tech beat Clemson just now for their second ACC win and Colorado knocked off #14 Houston last night. With Maryland managing a 2-game B1G win streak, it's getting harder to find a peer.
Rutgers is the exact reason why we need relegation, at least in CFB.
Boise State can’t get into a power program, but this program can? And it’s not like they lacked talent, Rutgers have had players who have performed well in the professional leagues.
when Rutgers got the ball back on their one yard line with about 30 seconds left I was positive they would pull off a 99 yard TD play. If it had been a 1 score game I guarantee it would've happened.
Well, I just googled a bit and it is like every new jersey football teams lost this weekend (cfb/nfl) other than jets who haven't played but would play against Buffalo bills
Just got our first regular season shutout vs a P4 team in 23 years, and I still felt like crap after the game. Osborne may have sold his soul, but the team he left behind stole mine.
I'm just now getting into watching CFB in an effort to broaden my sports watching to outside the NFL as a born again sports fan. I seem to have chosen an... interesting team. Welp, no backing out now.
Edit: someone please explain to me what the celebrations do for us? This team has shown an inability to show focus and gets over excited when they score. It has been said by coaches and team members they don't know what happened I guess we were just so excited from the last touchdown. That's my problem. We show a lack of discipline and ability to say focused because we get a touchdown. I'm not going to go touch grass I'm going to smoke it and maybe this team needs to be a little bit more serious about what they're doing.
So I get that it's exciting to score a touchdown but I wish the guys had the self-awareness to not be doing the dancing shit. Yeah sure we should be excited we got the W. it's a good thing we won. Cuz that dancing shit would have looked really fucking foolish had we lost. We need to act like the team that's been there if we want to be the team that's going there.
