The team as a whole in my opinion.
In the long run, I agree.....but today? No way! As hard for me to say this but Lamar was the best CB (or 2nd best) out there TODAY. Williams (#24, think it is Williams) and Bootle stank it up big time today. It gets real frustrating that their obviously isn't a coach, at NU the last 15 years to now, that can teach a DB to look back for the ball. Absolutely BS!
Correct. Unbelievable ! I am not some johnny come lately...been a fan since 1970. I am just so out of energy for this !
I used to have a TON of criticism for Osborne when he won the big 8 and laid an egg from 1984 to 1992 in bowl games that mattered.
He got tired of losing to speed and attitude and brought in the ‘names’. Rest is history.
Osborne said that the toughest thing he ever had to do was convince the ‘people of Nebraska that 10 and 1 was not a losing season’. (Sorry if I misquoted).
Right now Scott needs to convince us that he can call a F ing (freaking) game. Forget the rest. Walk on feel good program...Oregon State foul play....Makenzie Milton’s birthday...renovating house got robbed...past players are eating too much... want guys who want to be here....
Scott, other than lots of millions of reasons to be here, we tee’d up Troy. We gave you Purdue and a 2 and 3 NW team and you punt at every opportunity. What are we supposed to believe/think right now. Mass exodus has us thinking work ethic is the principle direction here. Freshman QB has us ‘tempered but excited ‘.
For Pete’s sake can you win a game Scott. How bout that as a measure of your coaching and status of the program.

Williams was a disaster . . . he should never, EVER see the field again late in games where it's still in doubt.
You know, I think Jackson outplayed Bootle today by a solid margin. Bootle just hasn't been the same since leaving the Wisconsin game in the first half (he returned in the second half.) I wonder if he is nursing an injury?
Agree.
I think the argument here is that no matter when he slides, you can not contact the helmet- that is indeed the rule. What I think Lavaman is missing here is that the refs missed the call. That slide play, with so much other crap going on all around and bodies everywhere, is easier to miss than the qb dropping back in the end zone and a guy whacking him in the helmet, at least in my opinion anyway. I’m not defending the officiating but that isn’t the reason Nebraska lost today. It rarely EVER is.
Jackson played well today
I'd agree. I hate to hang this game on the officiating. One of the PI calls was weak, but other than that, most were bang-bang and didn't go in our favor.
Defense needs to cinch it up tighter, and OL needs to blow people off the ball.
Problem is, our OL and DL are below average. And there's nothing but time that can fix that.
The loss hurts, but overall this game points to better things to come.
I hear this all the time- what advantages does a
Place like Columbus Ohio or state college PA have over Lincoln? I’ve been to all theee (I live in NY) and that are absolutely almost identical.
It doesn’t seem to be bothering those towns/programs.
Officiating did not cost us the game as maddening as it was at times.
That, and they need to go back to visiting the same pharmacies they used from 1980-2003!
