Nebraska (0-1, 0-1) at Minnesota (1-0, 1-0) Postgame

[FearlessF]

I watched the first half.  Had things to do in 2ndhalf.    No playmakers for Nebraska and ghastly turnovers. 

hard to tell about playmakers

playcalling that looks like Scott Frost - QB run, QB run, QB draw

O-line that can't run block or pass block

QB that doesn't have time to throw, makes poor decisions and makes poor throws

not many opportunities for playmakers to make plays

more FGs

23 - 20 Huskers upset Special

well right spread just more defense played

[FearlessF]

less offense

it was offensive by both squads

First game.  Huskers have good things they can build on, and bad things they can correct. 

The dropped interception that would’ve end of the game wont always be dropped, and the fumble that was unforced will not always be fumbled.

Ruhle we’ll figure out ways to give Vet Quarterback less risky throws.

I thought the defense looks solid.

Thought some good takeaways for Nebraska was the pass rush that emerged in the second half. Minnesota is built around sizeable lines and for Nebraska to in turn break through as the game went along wasn't something I saw from Nebraska last year. An under-recruited guy like Bullock gets an A for last night's work. Overall the Cornhuskers looked a lot more organized and played with a determination that wasn't previously there. 

Nebraska also didn't quite like I've seen them do, but it's just hard to get past the late game meltdown.

2 questions for Rhule.

the RB that fumbled was 3rd on the depth chart for too many fumbles in fall camp
Why ITF was he in the game at this moment!!!???!!!

You tossed aside Casey Thompson and hitched your wagon to THIS vet QB?????   WTF????

[FearlessF]

watched the post-game press conference this morning - finally

Rhule wins press conferences, but I'm still not happy at all

I'm not going to complain about a missed false start

there were many other blown calls in the game

the one I didn't like was a replay on a Husker TD that was pretty clear that he scored, but the call was not over turned

but, the officiating was terrible the entire game and for both teams
