Look it's FREAKIN IOWA....WE HATE THEM CHICKEN HAWKS...PLAIN AND SIMPLE....THATS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU PLAY YOUR RIVALS....THEY ARE JUST VERY LUCKY THAT THINGS WENT THEIR WAY AGAIN.... SOME DAY SOON THAT WORM WILL TURN ON THEM....AND I HAVE A FEELING ITS GOING TO BE VERY VERY SOON....
Only think that bothers me is the head coach and not the players. Rhule shouldn’t walk through our warmups or talk trash to Jay Higgens. The handshake? No doesn’t bother me I love a good rivalry. Go hawks
@@carrikerchronicles90 RHULE WALKING THROUGH THEIR PRACTICE NOT SHAKING HANDS BEFORE THE GAME, THAT'S TRASHY NOT CLASSY!! That's not Nebraska culture & I felt so ashamed of that behavior! (Kind of proves to me that money 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 is 😊#️⃣1️⃣☝️☝️☝️💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲). Would coach Osborne have acted that way? Just saying...
To be honest, we lost this because of special teams. How many fair catches did we make? We screwed up the snap on the missed fg. We couldn’t make it past the 20 on kickoffs. We routinely gave up field position. Why does our special teams coach still have a job?
@@daniels8105 Winners are determined by points, not first downs. I can make a first down trophy and send it to you to commemorate this game if you want.
The most frustrating part about this game is that I actually thought we were going to give up zero points. There’s no way they should have scored at all. We went from having a game where we did something good in every single aspect of the game to doing something negative (that cost us the game) in every single aspect.
We’re getting good at it. This was the 3rd or 4th game this season. Asa side note, delay of game penalty at a crucial moment, cameras showed Rhuley mouthing, “that’s my fault”. For $10M/year you gotta be better than this clown.
Dropped pass, missed field goal, no going for it on 4th and 2, not going for it on 4th on their 40, fumbling the ball away. This is Nebraska football, a lack of execution when it matters most.
@@carrikerchronicles90 *"Adam Carriker is in disbelief about a lot of things that happened in this game! Iowa couldn't win this game on their own, they couldn't do jack on offense, they literally just waited for Nebraska to hand them the game!"* How is this any diff than your kids saying, "we beat ourselves?"
Really not feeling like watching another Husker game, too many times different coaches, same results. I will take some time but may be better just to check ESPN after the games.
This .500 team came out and didn’t shake hands? Do they understand how pathetic that looks? They are going to a bowl (not a good one) for the first time in nearly a decade and they behave like this? What type of coaching does this staff bring? I’ll tell you. Losing. Nebraska has a losing culture and a loser coach. The man has a losing record as head coach. If I were the AD I would have fired him on the spot for how those captains refused handshakes. They are supposed to be building these players into true strong men after football. Instead Nebraska has become a cesspool of losers and filth. Wow. Just wow. #fireRhuleNow
How come you did not mention the nebraska players not shaking hands with the Iowa captains before the game. Please explain this I would really like to hear the explanation.
didn't they fist bump? - i didn't see that there was a rejection of an outstretched hand, for a handshake? Iowa has been classless in the past the way they treated NU after one of these types of close victories.
Nothing surprises me anymore with Husker football. I’m just numb to all the loses over the past 20 years. Just incredible how far this program has tanked. We can play with anyone but can’t win.
Participation trophies for everyone! Watch these top 10 teams how hard they coach, how hard they play to put in comparison, how far away we are from that level of success.
This game was really fun to watch. Both defenses played their hearts out. Iowa is just better at keeping calm and playing to their game. the huskers used to do that, and make the opposing team make mistakes. just really hurt to watch yet another walk off field goal loss.
You could just see a major level of confidence, cool, and coaching IQ with Coach Kirk and his coordinators, versus Rhuley & Co. and their confused, panic look…. Once again we have a sideline of lame duck coaches making too much money, and an AD who gets it wrong, every time they go shopping for a coach they can control.
It was a good game. It is always fun beating Nebraska. I don’t like the Nebraska team, but I love the people in Nebraska. They’re just like. Iowa people good German.
You have to stop saying they are beating themselves. When you have a program with a 49-68 record over the past ten years and a coach with only two career wins against ranked teams, you need to be saying they just aren't that good. If the talent was that much more superior, then 4 plays against a team on their 4th QB wouldn't have dictated the outcome.
@@mattm402 What Rhuley has to do with NUs record over the last 10 yrs is Rhuley is more of the same. Sweetheart, politically soft spoken yes man, banking that $10M/year, keeping the b$$sters happy, playing .500 ball or worse, providing us the same results. We’ve seen this movie before, we know what’s coming. The suits won’t bring in a major name Coach and turn the program over to them and stay to heck out of their way. When it gets bad enough, they’ll flush Rhuley and go grab another just like him, just like Riley.
I still hate that kickoff fumble that wasn't that blows my mind, they looked at it for over 5 minutes, and that would have nuked 3 of the points Iowa scored. Iowa touched the ball first.....
Brutally painful loss. Lost my voice yelling at home. The lack of urgency on the last offensive drive. Two fumbles. Clear choking. Slow to take a timeout. Why? Very hard to watch. I blame everyone. Coaches and players. 6-6 is just more of the same. Painful stuff.
I’m used to it, no matter how 45 minutes of football are played, NU finds a way how to get it taken away from them in the end; you can flat expect it every game, and you’re shocked when it doesn’t finish that way.
@@johnwayne9828In that situation, any QB would have fumbled. Benhart completely whiffed on the block, allowing the pass rusher to come down right on Raiola’s arm.
@@isaaccribbs9214 yes and how do they screw up the review - will there be follow-up on that? The ref should have given a one sentence explanation with announcing the call
I went to the University of Iowa I want to congratulate you on your podcast and how you remain positive for the sake of all the kids. I wish there were more people like you up there on social media. Your love for Nebraska football is evidence. I am an older person, so I can remember the Tom Osborne days. Thomas Osborne always had the same Attitude and approach to every game. He instilled character and faith. At Iowa, we share many of the same concerns that you have for your program. We lost two big 10 games to opponents who were in the bottom of the conference. I believe your program is headed in the right direction. Hopefully, everybody stays positive and gives your staff and players another year to recruit and build their program. I just wanted to thank you for your podcast. You are a man of class and I appreciate your assessment of the game. You are ready, sometimes the team with the best staff doesn’t win the game.That game could have went either way. Good luck to you guys in the ball game. I also want to wish you continued success moving forward.
When the offense only scores 10 points but ALSO gives the other team 6 points off field goal turnovers the offense only NETTED 4 points. Not gonna win any games like that.
Iowa wins those type of games consistently, Nebraska should seriously try to be like Iowa until they can become a Penn State then an Ohio State. Say what ya will bout Iowa but they've been able to win 9-11 games on a yearly basis, they go bowling every year while Nebraska keeps saying Iowa is a horrible program. Nebraska is a horrific program that thinks they're better then they really are, you need to crawl before you sprint, if Iowa isn't a horrible program because they're actually winning 9-11 games a year while Nebraska struggles to reach 6 wins every year.
FIRE DONOVAN RAIOLA!!! In Donovan Raiola’s first two seasons there were ZERO offensive linemen from Nebraska on any of the B1G first, second or third teams and it is unlikely there will be any this year either.
Beat ourselves and it falls on Rhule for the lack of discipline. It falls on Raiola for a lack of urgency and intensity. Every current WR can just get lost. Maybe we should post on Indeed for a good running back.
Fuck Cancer! Keep up the fight Greg Sharpe! My wife is in a large cancer battle. Let’s find a cure! Try to enjoy each day and hug your loved one’s tight! Life can change in 24 frames!
Hard to answer all three questions. Sadly when 10-0 and the “muffed punt” happened, knew we were in trouble. Unfortunately the past decade has shown breaks won’t go our way so can’t say surprised lost. Just baffling how can always find a gut wrenching/heart breaking way. Just incredible how bad Iowa offense is year after year and can have winning records and find a way to have the ball for a last second FG. I don’t think the season is a loss as have a lot of young talent and bowl game practices to improve. It really does boil down to eliminating a few bad/missed plays a game. Players have to make plays and team has to develop and offensive identity. I am very nervous what the portal is going to do to this team with the roster limits now (Railo stay or go), what signing day will look like, and what happens with the coordinators. See what happens at the bowl game and build for next year. GBR
A very disappointing loss for a team that dominated most of the game. Unfortunately, Iowa doesn't beat themselves and we have trouble coming up with ways to win the game. The season can still be a success if we can take advantage of the additional practices and the opportunity to play in a bowl game. Go Big Red!!
@jameswhite5927 brags about his game start record but REAL record is he leads team in false start penalties AND missed/muffled blocks. Glad to see 54 gone
FIRE DONOVAN RAIOLA!!! In Donovan Raiola’s first two seasons there were ZERO offensive linemen from Nebraska on any of the B1G first, second or third teams and it is unlikely there will be any this year either.
Great job Adam - another very tough Gut Reaction to produce for someone that cares. Totally agree with everything you said. Dylan's ball security was bad all game. The last fumble was #3 by him in the game, was it not? In addition to the dropped pass right in the receiver's hands, there were also a couple missed passes to wide open receivers. I was thinking we had a great advantage if it went to OT given their complete lack of offensive production/our great defense. That "muffed punt" that wasn't was bizarre - what did the refs see? There was also the fumble that wasn't called a fumble initially and then after review, they said "the call was confirmed". Reffing continues to be an issue and - conspiracy theory warning - why is it always not in Huskers' favor? I also was thinking a Husker big victory after the first two possessions since we were looking so incredibly good on both sides of ball. Ha! But then we stopped scoring and the "Iowa is going to take this from us" doubts started creeping in. So darn frustrating. Sure the fans are upset but I feel so badly for the players.
Since when does the classiest team with the classiest fans, not shake hands during the pre-game coin flip? Nebraska had to accept a lot of losing over the last few years but when you do stuff like that, you are Losers!
I am an Iowa native deep in the heart of enemy territory, Gibbon Nebraska. I will agree with your statement that a more disciplined team won over a better team. Because our offense sucks
Nebby captains refused to shake hands with the Iowa captains. Also Nebby players were walking thru the Iowa special teams warmups during pregame. Big red's disrepect is the reason they were not allowed on the logo.
1 - Yes, I can't believe we lost. 2 - We dominated on all but 4 plays like you said. 3 - I don't consider the season a success, was the weakest schedule we will ever see. Can we address the elephant, what do we look like next year after losing what 13 seniors??? I think we will be worse next year.
Iowa won by three which is fitting, because they won for three reasons: 1. They could make a big play on offense breaking a big run-we couldn't. 2. They could make a big play on defense-getting the sack and fumble-we couldn't. 3. They can create an edge on special teams-getting the fumble, making big kicks-we couldn't. We need playmakers and it would help if we could get really strong in special teams as well or we will continue to lose to them like this every damn time.
🙏🏾 G Sharpe, missed you today. The wave to the kids very special. Good game. Wish the QB had the option to run more when he has those opportunities. The officials made bad calls. I know it was cold but they needed to keep their eyes on the ball …just didn’t want OT, thinking of their own. The season is successful, they made it to a bowl game. GBR🏈
As I was watching the game, I was reminded by what Steve Sipple said on Early Break. "Iowa will wait for you to make a mistake". Its exactly what they did. I still see it as a mostly successful season since we are going bowling. I see it heading in the right direction. Glad this season is over and the many of the players who maintain the losing mentality will be gone. Yes I am in disbelief. Most frustrating part is we owned them the entire game!
@DeBa1226 nice of you to put words in my mouth. I didn't say proud, but making a bowl game is mostly a success since we haven't in 8 yrs. Getting over that hump can be the hardest part, and it was done on a team with players who have built a culture of losing. Have to acknowledge successes when they come as they are far and few between. Could Rhule have replaced the entire team with different players, uprooting students' lives in the process for the sake of winning? Sure, but he didn't want to do that, and I respect that. He had to try to instill a winning mentality into losing mentalities. That's harder to do, but it will be a stronger program in the end, and I am sure the players appreciate it and will help them mentally far into the future. As a long-time fan, I appreciate the more respectful path, although the harder one!
@@Brian36685 no, that was a question, rube. IF you or anyone is proud of getting into a nothing burger bowl game having beaten no credible teams, then the bar in Lincoln is as low as it’s ever been. Participation trophies for all. Save the Rhuley kumbaya, “uprooting students theory”; you sound like you sat down with him and went over these items of concern. Maybe he should stay off the field and become a counselor.
@DeBa1226 sorry, I didn't realize you were such a dick. Forgive me "rube". Why don't you take a chill pill and have a conversation instead of calling names and being a total fuck face? You know, like that dick that's fucking your face hole right now?
I went to Iowa City tonight with 3 other loyal Nebraska fans. I am in disbelief, and I'm angry about the loss. We choked at the moments that were most pivotal in the game. Our special teams man.... We absolutely were better 95% of the game than Iowa. Tough loss to take. I'll be back cheering for the bowl game though. GBR!
Record setting 27 straight losses to ranked opponents. 10 consecutive seasons playing .500 ball or worse. Front loaded your schedule to post 3 wins versus junior varsity talent. 0-2 versus SoCal (UCLA, USC new additions to the conference with losing records). Two bye weeks to rest and prepare which led to two losses anyway. Lost last 10 of 12 meetings to Iowa. 3 or 4 games this season scored ZERO SECOND HALF POINTS. Lost 5 of last 6 games to back into an entry level bowl game only because our fans travel well, not because our program beat anyone credible or deserves a bowl game of any level. Out coached, out played every week, ten years and counting. Participation trophies for everyone!
Frustrating loss for Big Red. IA is a snake in the grass just waiting for you f*8k yourself. Adam Carriker is a class act. Doesn’t call the team that has beaten them 10-12 times trash or garbage . The current players could learn a thing or two from him. Hint hint. I root for Big Red when they are not playing IA , no hate here . A strong Nebraska is a better Big Ten, and bright days are ahead .
I was yelling at my TV mid- 4th qtr keep running the ball straight ahead, keep pounding the ball. Nebraska was averaging 6-8 yds a carry. Keep punching and we stopped and got cute.
Adam, I’m in total agreement with you ! Big Red has to execute better, minimize turnovers and get it done. I hope this game teaches them a lesson, but I’ve seen the same movie so many times I unfortunately question if they will ever learn anything.
I have been a husker fan since the mid 70’s ever since I was about 7 years old and my god mother shared with me that she was a Tudor at UNL, for the football team, specifically for Johnny Rodgers among others. Every loss hurts……but, TODAY………stings so bad that I’m not sure I can do it anymore!🤷♂️
I’m with you brother, I go back to the Game of the Century when JR Superstar ran wild. Have been glued to this program every season since. Used to listen to the great Lyle Bremzer do play by play from the radio in the cab of our tractor discing all day as a teenager. Used to scope thru the Omaha World Herald and the Des Moines Register every Sunday post game for reports and stats. I, like you, have eaten and breathed this program for all these years, and it’s disgusting what our rich history has become over the last 10 consecutive seasons.
Why do fans of the losing teams always say it wasn't because the winning team was better? Is it a self-coping mechanism kicking in? Iowa is 8 and 4. Huskers are 6 and 6. Pretty clear to me.
understand what you're saying and credit to Iowa for doing nothing except for 3 plays and a bad ref review. And there's your answer. How do you game plan if you're Iowa? "Ok guys, we're going to suck on def line, off line. Our running game which we rely on, will be non existent. We're going to have 1/2 or less yards. 1/2 or less possession time. But... we plan on their QB fumbling a couple times, a bad ref review will give us the ball near the goal line and we still won't score a TD, and the last QB fumble we'll recover on their side of the field, and we'll barely make a long field goal to win the game! Ready, break!" Just amazing.
31 points. QB and receivers are not on the same page. Is it the routes, QB not knowing how to throw the ball depending on route/coverage, our line still has issues or is it the line coach?
There's been so much excitement for Coach Holgorsen - "DO ANYTHING TO KEEP HIM" etc. Waiting to see if our emotional fans (I'm one) will make a total 180 degree turn against Holgorsen after falling in love in a few days?
FIRE DONOVAN RAIOLA!!! In Donovan Raiola’s first two seasons there were ZERO offensive linemen from Nebraska on any of the B1G first, second or third teams and it is unlikely there will be any this year either.
So frustrating and outright disappointing. 1. We always find a way to lose. 2. The poor execution. 3. A success getting to a bowl sure. But they left so much on the table, but they just aren't a good football team. Potential to be good but they dont execute and find ways to lose.
Raiola missed a throw or two. Neyor missed a catch for a big gain, maybe even a TD. We muffed a punt and didn't tackle on one play. Nebraska outplayed them on every other play of the game. Tough loss. I am still encouraged for the future.
And it looks like this every game, for 10years. Someone needs to own this run of ten seasons playing .500 ball or less. Players AND coaches need held accountable for underperforming. This program is milk-toast. Just a real embarrassment.
Carriker, did you ever run track? Because you seem to be saying that the guy who led most of the race is the best runner regardless of how many guys pass him in the last 50 yards. The finish line decides who is better in track and the scoreboard determines who is better in football.
I'm personally over the program. I paid for cable the last 10 years only for Nebraska football. Ive attended nearly 70 games. Ive tailgated I've spent money at the games I'm done supporting the program until they really do fix shit. I have plenty of other things i can be doing then getting my heart rate elevated and angry on a Saturday. They have plenty of fans and some other moron will be happy to step in for me and keep giving this less than mediocre team money and time. Won't be watching the bowl game, and i really don't care about the outcome anymore.
@@mattm402only thing worse than fairweather fans like him, are the fans like YOU who refuse to acknowledge the shitshow nebraska is. Just clap like a fucking seal. Sorry, some of us are tired of mediocre.
Whoever the captains were that thought they were too good to shake hands should be ashamed. Absolutely disgraceful that you can’t at least win the fucking game if your too good to shake hands
Saturday morning review. Floyd Richter, O'Neill Nebraska. Graduate OHS class of 1968. Played rt guard, left defensive end. Went 11 and 0. Beat Chadron 14 - 7 in homemade playoff game up there. 1. I'm not in disbelief we lost. 2. Most frustrating part about this loss is play calling, quarterback play. Holgorsen looked like last guy. Why can't we tell relievers get beyond the line of scrimmage or I won't pass to you. Way to many catches behind 6line to gain. Are you chickens. Instant failure. Defense was always right there to tackle you. You've got to get past the line to gain. You aren't getting do overs. Second most frustrating part. Put Harrberg in. Coaches have fallen in love with Raiola. He's too green, he's not a fighter,and he wants to be a cheerleader before he's done hus job. He functions like a premadonna. He's not a dual threat quarterback. Put Harrberg in at least half the time. Coach Rule has fallen in love with Raiola and it's killing us. 3. This season was an improvement but why didn't Rule have Holgorsen from the start of the season? We're red because that's catsup on our shirts. Love your take AC. You're right on on your take and love ❤️ your commentary.
1. No, not surprised Nebraska lost because on your Iowa prediction video I commented, “Win the field position battle. Don't beat yourself with penalties, turnovers and poor special teams which give Iowa a short field. Make Iowa drive the length of the field to score.” Obviously, Nebraska failed to do those things. 2. Most frustrating part is knowing who Iowa is and how they play and the coaches still fell for it along with poor offensive line and special teams play again! FIRE DONOVAN RAIOLA & ED FOLEY!!! 3. The regular season will be a success if Donovan Raiola, Ed Foley and Garret McGuire are fired. In Donovan Raiola’s first two seasons there were ZERO offensive linemen from Nebraska on any of the B1G first, second or third teams and it is unlikely there will be any this year either.
Adam, at 19:15 you say that the last 8 matchups have been decided by 1 score? Not true. The 2017 matchup vs Iowa which falls within those 8 and obviously was not 1 score. Please revise.
I was very concerned when NU missed the field goal. I just thought that was the beginning of the end. The most frustrating part of the loss was how Nebraska tried to start playing keep away with 8 minutes left in the game. Just a terrible decision. And why does Dylan Raiola seem to just collapse mentally in the 4th quarter of close games? That’s a trait that the program has been dealing with for a long time now. The fact that it’s carried over from one coaching staff to the next is wild. 6-6 is better than 5-7. It’s baby steps, but I’m calling it a success. A very slight one. C+ max if I was grading it.
The best team is always the one that executes winning plays to impact the scoreboard. The rest doesn't matter. The better team is usually the most disciplined during the game. The better team won.
Iowa is the least penalized team in college football. So even if they don’t have the best talent, they minimize mistakes…that equates to a great coaching staff, full of discipline and accountability.
I'm tired of getting frustrated and watching them lose in games that are this close. Play calling still needs improvement. I'm right with you on the reaction! GBR!!
I had a feeling the whole game that, that dude would muff a punt. Even though he didn't touch the ball, the other kicks,it looked like he was having trouble fielding the balls. He went to his knees to catch punts 3 times. I knew something was going to happen
I thought the same thing. From the start I knew I would happen. He was diving and hitting to ground on each catch. Iowa played field position on the punts and waited for the Huskers to make a mistake. Perfect Iowa football! Don’t forget about the shanked punt from husker punter.
I was messaging with my uncle at halftime, we both knew that our defense would hold strong, we held the 2nd best runningback in the nation for everything but 1 play. Defense did their job, our offense lost the game, our tackles couldn't do anything to stop their edges. I love our team and what Dana has done in just 3 weeks but damn how do you not put a TE chip on their best pass rushers on one of the most important drives of the game. should we have needed a game winning drive HELL no our offense died in the second half. GBR
Watch the Jay Higgins post game interview. Im embarrassed for ALL Husker fans. Yall need to give Rhule tbe boot. Good kids arent going to want their names attached to that sort of BS. karma won.
1. No- Nebraska didn't play with "killer instinct"... too many errors and self inflicted mistakes. 2. After year 2 with Rhule, Nebraska still struggles to win games. They still play to the level of their competition. I may be wrong on this but believe last season Rhule said that the close games against Wisconsin and Iowa would help Nebraska in the future... that he was disappointed in the losses but the players would learn from those losses and get better... 3. No, this season was not a success. The team made it to a bowl game, but the season should have had at least 2 more wins. Nebraska has to figure out how to play to win AND play to the level of their talents/capabilities. The Huskers still play to the level of their competition
The curse of Scott Frost continues. I love Matt Rhule but this year has been extremely disappointing. We have a lot of key players not coming back next year. Therefore, I'm worried that next year will be another 6-6 year. This was the Huskers year to win 8-9 games and they blew it.
The only loss on the online that hurts is losing Scott. Sorry but the back up RT can't be worse than benhardt. Neyor and banks we largely not as advertised. I think losing Coleman was bigger loss than losing either of them. Wright can step up to replace hill. Robinson and Hutchmaker while big hits are replaceable.
You know my favorite part of the game was how on 3rd and long we kept doing short pass run plays where we would throw the ball laterally 5 to 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage. It was a great plan to try and gain 15 yards instead of just the 10 or I don't know throwing the ball down fucking field.
My favorite part of the game was Dylan getting stripped of the ball with like 1:35 left to play…. Because I knew something sideways was about to happen! It always does! NU always finds a way to rip your heart out just when you think they’re on the verge of something good happening. I’ve seen this play out more times than I care to remember over the years. You can etch it in stone, AND opponents have come to know that too. We don’t have a coaching staff great enough to turn that around.
Adam, I need your help. I called into Big Red Overaction and one of the hosts told me "I was lips to God's ears", when I talked about how to throw the bones correctly, and on 3 and out. The other host was not about it and said talk to Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter's. So I can't reach out to them but maybe you can educate me and others on how to throw the bones
Great video from an Iowa fan . The statement Iowa touched the ball first is really funny when you said it didn’t matter what color of shirt you wear , because it does ! I didn’t see anything positive of that case , the video couldn’t show it that close so it’s all to do with the color of your shirt . When I saw it I thought it could go either way . Bad season for the hawks in my opinion . Should have only lost one to the bucks teeth eyes . I believe iowa loses at Lincoln next year , we lose a lot of seniors and much tougher schedule . Gotta believe the buskers will have 8 wins next year tho .
To me, two of the most frustrating things about the special teams unit is neither of the long snappers are young kids, and it appears the coaches didn't think having a good, experienced second LS was much of a priority. Camden Wituki's a junior and was the #2 long snapper last year. This is his first season of extensive game action, but he's been snapping in practice since 2020. Aidan Flege spent two years at Iowa Western CC, redshirting in 2021 and playing in 2022 before transferring to Nebraska. He wasn't even on the Nebraska team in 2023, he was just a regular student! It's not like Rhule and Foley didn't know Marco Ortiz was out of eligibility at the end of last year. It's also not like the best LS in the portal before this season got scooped up by higher profile P4 program, either. The #1 LS in the portal, Carson Selee (5-star rating by Kohl's Transfer Camp) was signed by Buffalo.
The answer to the number 2 question is " What is the most disappointing" That Matt Rhule still gets paid $8 million after failing 50 percent of the time this year and Dana gets paid $66,267 for failing 2/3 of the time for 3 weeks work. Where is the accountability?
Nebraska football seriously needs to see a shrink about their rivalry against Iowa in football. The way I see it; Nebraska suffers from low self-esteem issues and can't seem to get over it. Meanwhile, Iowa once again won all their B1G rivalry games, and a warm bowl awaits them.
Matt Rhule's expectations of games going down to the very end, and the expectation that our toughness that will win is old stuff. He lets the clock run down by huddling late, and it has become self fulfilling prophecy. Why can't we follow the template of great halftime adjustments, and usually a win. We play not to lose period.
Run up and down the field for yardage all you want. The idea is to score more points than the opponent. We scored Zero second half points for the 3rd or 4th game this season, but they’ll tell ya, Dana called a heckuva game, and sure are proud of those guys in there.
I was not surprised. I think going to a bowl game is a sign of success. I also think continuing to lose games (esp one score games) that are winnable is a sign of lack of success. So I think Coach Rhule has had some measure of success but next year he must show improvement over these types of losses.
No yeah I'm pissed. The players, THE PLAYERS, on offense sold this game fr. The coaches did well for the most part. The complaints of the final drive fall on deaf ears because we should be going for the win. We want to be CFB playoff contenders we better be able to clear off teams like Iowa when we need too. But we didn't ... OUR SPECIAL TEAMS SOLD OUR TEAM ON CLEARANCE! There were some weird ass ref non calls for Nebraska. But the players didn't show up. Too many missed catches (throws in the first half), the defense was locked in besides one broken run that there was a missed block in the back call. A team THIS GOOD shouldn't be LOSING! ... LIKE THIS!!! We look how goofy CU looked last year. I'm glad we have the bowl game practices to use. USE THEM ALL!!! PLEASE!!!
Getting to bowl eligibility was the "floor" for this season. I think HCMR realized that and thus made the absolutely correct decision to bring in DH (and others). So yes, this season was a success in that we made progress and met the minimum level of success. I was fine with OCDH’s plan and call for the Iowa game. While the result was disappointing, the players were in positions to succeed on multiple occasions. I believe that Holgorsen will improve the players’ execution over time. Instilling a much-needed higher standard of accountability, discipline, and attention to detail will take more than a few weeks. It will also take a similar level of work for him to get that higher standard from the Offensive Assistant/Position Coaches. All of this improvement happens through development and/or replacement. I’m guessing that any length of contract that DH agrees to will give him the control that he wants (and has mentioned). I believe that his approach to achieving a higher standard of accountability, discipline and attention to detail from the entire Offense will be much more “intense” and “straight forward”. We’re often reminded that what we see on the field is either coached or permitted. And what you permit you promote. We’ve seen improvements in the Offense in just a few weeks… and in a very uniquely challenging situation. I certainly hope we can get DH as our OC for a few years so we can see (by the play on the field) the standard that he promotes. DCTW needs to continue to improve his unit as well. Consistency will go a long way to creating/sustaining a dominant Blackshirt Defense. HCMR needs to upgrade the ST Coaching and thus the standard of play from our ST. Our ST play has cost us games and/or has continually been a source of negative plays/outcomes.
I’d love to see Dylan go follow Shedeur’s career at Colorado so Prime can show NU how to grow players, surround him with serious coaches and player talent, to clearly show the difference in both programs.
Some of the worst playcalling I’ve ever seen. A cold night when it was difficult to catch and difficult to hold onto the football. There was a lot of success running the ball, but we called place that made no sense. Short passes for the sidelines, when there was no room to cut up field. We showed that we could run the ball, but we refused to do it. I just sat back watching it and shaking my head.
Does what happened before the game at mid-field (blocking the logo) & the pre-game coin toss (no hand shake) bother you?! CarrikerChronicles.com

To be honest, we lost this because of special teams. How many fair catches did we make? We screwed up the snap on the missed fg. We couldn’t make it past the 20 on kickoffs. We routinely gave up field position. Why does our special teams coach still have a job?
Exactly!!! Couldn't agree more
We scored Zero points in the second half again, this is not rocket science.
He’s a nice man!!!!!!! He has good manners and is a good friend cmonnnnnnn have EVEN MORE patience! Hes a good buddy!!!!!
Special Teams was brutal. But we also lost because we scored only 10 points. The Offense must do more than just win the time of possession.
@ I agree but it’s also true we would’ve scored in the very first drive if it wasn’t for an atrocious long snap and hold at the 17 yard line.
Turnovers and the inability to deliver the knockout blow really hurt Nebraska.
ZERO second half points again, is the knockout punch, this time from Iowa.
60 minute game was decided in 3 plays.
Was it the three bad plays that they made or the ten good plays that they could have made and on which they whiffed?
That’s why they play the game. Score NO points, ZERO points, in the second half for the 3rd or 4th game this season, don’t deserve a Win.
@ and a team that couldn’t convert a single third down all night long should win? Gtfo

Unfortunately.
@andrewfrazier7974 Much of that is last 5-6 years. Spoiled much?
The most frustrating part about this game is that I actually thought we were going to give up zero points. There’s no way they should have scored at all. We went from having a game where we did something good in every single aspect of the game to doing something negative (that cost us the game) in every single aspect.
I thought 7 on the opening drive of the second half- 17-0 with the Final 30-0
agree 💯
They didn't do anything offensively.
How did we not score in the 2nd half!!!?!?!
Sitting on small leads was something Rhule needs to stop doing.
We never do. Lol
We’re getting good at it. This was the 3rd or 4th game this season. Asa side note, delay of game penalty at a crucial moment, cameras showed Rhuley mouthing, “that’s my fault”. For $10M/year you gotta be better than this clown.
We are have gone entire halves all year of not scoring
Dropped pass, missed field goal, no going for it on 4th and 2, not going for it on 4th on their 40, fumbling the ball away. This is Nebraska football, a lack of execution when it matters most.
Different year, same results.
Yes, true
@@carrikerchronicles90 *"Adam Carriker is in disbelief about a lot of things that happened in this game! Iowa couldn't win this game on their own, they couldn't do jack on offense, they literally just waited for Nebraska to hand them the game!"*
How is this any diff than your kids saying, "we beat ourselves?"
Atleast we made a bowl game. 🤷
Really not feeling like watching another Husker game, too many times different coaches, same results. I will take some time but may be better just to check ESPN after the games.
This .500 team came out and didn’t shake hands? Do they understand how pathetic that looks? They are going to a bowl (not a good one) for the first time in nearly a decade and they behave like this? What type of coaching does this staff bring? I’ll tell you. Losing. Nebraska has a losing culture and a loser coach. The man has a losing record as head coach. If I were the AD I would have fired him on the spot for how those captains refused handshakes. They are supposed to be building these players into true strong men after football. Instead Nebraska has become a cesspool of losers and filth. Wow. Just wow. #fireRhuleNow
Iowa had 5 firstdowns the ENTIRE game and nebraska still lost
Fucking embarrassing
and 0-10 on 3rd downs.
Makes you wonder if those two stats together has ever allowed a team to win before. We could've set another record
Only 1 first down on their 3 scoring drives combined.
Only Iowa wins games like this. I'd call it a fluke but they do it too often.
How come you did not mention the nebraska players not shaking hands with the Iowa captains before the game. Please explain this I would really like to hear the explanation.
That was because Iowa had popos blocking the huskers from praying at midfield before the game. Iowa was petty, so nebraska got petty.
didn't they fist bump? - i didn't see that there was a rejection of an outstretched hand, for a handshake? Iowa has been classless in the past the way they treated NU after one of these types of close victories.
Thought they were acting tough, trying to intimidate, because they really lack confidence.
Iowa taunted them off their own field last year. Iowa blocked them from their pre game prayer with police. Why should they shake hands?
I address it in my show I just recorded that's going out Sunday. morning.
I don’t know how they continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.😔
It’s crazy.
true and credit to Iowa - they performed when they had to - 2 or 3 times.
I use the same phrase! It sums everything up perfectly.
We get out coached every game, and it starts on Mondays.
Nothing surprises me anymore with Husker football. I’m just numb to all the loses over the past 20 years. Just incredible how far this program has tanked. We can play with anyone but can’t win.
Participation trophies for everyone! Watch these top 10 teams how hard they coach, how hard they play to put in comparison, how far away we are from that level of success.
Been that way since 62-36...CU says "you're welcome" for destroying your Korn pone program!
This game was really fun to watch. Both defenses played their hearts out. Iowa is just better at keeping calm and playing to their game. the huskers used to do that, and make the opposing team make mistakes. just really hurt to watch yet another walk off field goal loss.
It was almost fun to watch.
You could just see a major level of confidence, cool, and coaching IQ with Coach Kirk and his coordinators, versus Rhuley & Co. and their confused, panic look…. Once again we have a sideline of lame duck coaches making too much money, and an AD who gets it wrong, every time they go shopping for a coach they can control.
Disbelief again
We beat ourselves always
A loss is a loss, no matter who you want to tag it to.
It was a good game. It is always fun beating Nebraska. I don’t like the Nebraska team, but I love the people in Nebraska. They’re just like. Iowa people good German.
You have to stop saying they are beating themselves. When you have a program with a 49-68 record over the past ten years and a coach with only two career wins against ranked teams, you need to be saying they just aren't that good. If the talent was that much more superior, then 4 plays against a team on their 4th QB wouldn't have dictated the outcome.
Not sure what rhule has to do with Nebraska's record over the past decade but act like he's been the coach 10 years. ok.
@@mattm402 What Rhuley has to do with NUs record over the last 10 yrs is Rhuley is more of the same. Sweetheart, politically soft spoken yes man, banking that $10M/year, keeping the b$$sters happy, playing .500 ball or worse, providing us the same results. We’ve seen this movie before, we know what’s coming. The suits won’t bring in a major name Coach and turn the program over to them and stay to heck out of their way. When it gets bad enough, they’ll flush Rhuley and go grab another just like him, just like Riley.
I still hate that kickoff fumble that wasn't that blows my mind, they looked at it for over 5 minutes, and that would have nuked 3 of the points Iowa scored. Iowa touched the ball first.....
ya, i want an explanation on that one! Ref delivered the verdict with no explanation!
No
Brutally painful loss. Lost my voice yelling at home. The lack of urgency on the last offensive drive. Two fumbles. Clear choking. Slow to take a timeout. Why? Very hard to watch. I blame everyone. Coaches and players. 6-6 is just more of the same. Painful stuff.
I was at the game. I will say that Rhule was trying to call a timeout. He had to run to the side judge to get it at the numbers.
Rhule screwed up and didn't go for the 1st down and instead pu to to Iowa!! That was the turning point of the game!! Iowa scores!!
I’m used to it, no matter how 45 minutes of football are played, NU finds a way how to get it taken away from them in the end; you can flat expect it every game, and you’re shocked when it doesn’t finish that way.
3 points again.

I went to the University of Iowa I want to congratulate you on your podcast and how you remain positive for the sake of all the kids. I wish there were more people like you up there on social media. Your love for Nebraska football is evidence. I am an older person, so I can remember the Tom Osborne days. Thomas Osborne always had the same Attitude and approach to every game. He instilled character and faith. At Iowa, we share many of the same concerns that you have for your program. We lost two big 10 games to opponents who were in the bottom of the conference. I believe your program is headed in the right direction. Hopefully, everybody stays positive and gives your staff and players another year to recruit and build their program. I just wanted to thank you for your podcast. You are a man of class and I appreciate your assessment of the game. You are ready, sometimes the team with the best staff doesn’t win the game.That game could have went either way. Good luck to you guys in the ball game. I also want to wish you continued success moving forward.
When the offense only scores 10 points but ALSO gives the other team 6 points off field goal turnovers the offense only NETTED 4 points. Not gonna win any games like that.
Iowa wins those type of games consistently, Nebraska should seriously try to be like Iowa until they can become a Penn State then an Ohio State. Say what ya will bout Iowa but they've been able to win 9-11 games on a yearly basis, they go bowling every year while Nebraska keeps saying Iowa is a horrible program. Nebraska is a horrific program that thinks they're better then they really are, you need to crawl before you sprint, if Iowa isn't a horrible program because they're actually winning 9-11 games a year while Nebraska struggles to reach 6 wins every year.
Good point.
Gonna suck in 15 bowl practices where there will be 8 hours of prevention of ball stripping per practice.
Fumbled four times, lucky Iowa didn't get all of them.
We upgraded the OC tremendously, now lets upgrade the offensive lineman
based on what? 1 game against WI?
I see alot of the same garbage I've seen all season.
Disagree-2 of 3 games with putrid offense with no identity
Wisconsin is very bad, so that game doesn't tell us much
FIRE DONOVAN RAIOLA!!! In Donovan Raiola’s first two seasons there were ZERO offensive linemen from Nebraska on any of the B1G first, second or third teams and it is unlikely there will be any this year either.
Let’s upgrade the Head Coach and Athletic Director.
Nebraska....the greatest soap opera in college football.
Starts with the AD and the suits at the Country Club. They sell us a new coach every 2-3 years or so, that has no clue.
My judge of a winning and losing season depends on Nebraska winning or losing the Iowa game so the last 2 years for me losing seasons
How bout the last 9/10
Beat ourselves and it falls on Rhule for the lack of discipline.
It falls on Raiola for a lack of urgency and intensity. Every current WR can just get lost. Maybe we should post on Indeed for a good running back.

Hard to answer all three questions. Sadly when 10-0 and the “muffed punt” happened, knew we were in trouble. Unfortunately the past decade has shown breaks won’t go our way so can’t say surprised lost. Just baffling how can always find a gut wrenching/heart breaking way. Just incredible how bad Iowa offense is year after year and can have winning records and find a way to have the ball for a last second FG.
I don’t think the season is a loss as have a lot of young talent and bowl game practices to improve. It really does boil down to eliminating a few bad/missed plays a game. Players have to make plays and team has to develop and offensive identity.
I am very nervous what the portal is going to do to this team with the roster limits now (Railo stay or go), what signing day will look like, and what happens with the coordinators.
See what happens at the bowl game and build for next year. GBR
A very disappointing loss for a team that dominated most of the game. Unfortunately, Iowa doesn't beat themselves and we have trouble coming up with ways to win the game. The season can still be a success if we can take advantage of the additional practices and the opportunity to play in a bowl game. Go Big Red!!
We scored zero second half points again.
Should have mentioned Benhart blowing the block to let Dylan get bkimdsiddd
It's not the 1st ti.e he's missed blocks!! He's big and slow. He has been that way since he arrived!!
@jameswhite5927 brags about his game start record but REAL record is he leads team in false start penalties AND missed/muffled blocks. Glad to see 54 gone
Yes but did you see the multiple Dylan fumbles - VERY BAD BALL SECURITY!
FIRE DONOVAN RAIOLA!!! In Donovan Raiola’s first two seasons there were ZERO offensive linemen from Nebraska on any of the B1G first, second or third teams and it is unlikely there will be any this year either.
Benhart is 6’10” what do you expect. You need to drive a stake in the ground to see him move.
Great job Adam - another very tough Gut Reaction to produce for someone that cares. Totally agree with everything you said. Dylan's ball security was bad all game. The last fumble was #3 by him in the game, was it not? In addition to the dropped pass right in the receiver's hands, there were also a couple missed passes to wide open receivers. I was thinking we had a great advantage if it went to OT given their complete lack of offensive production/our great defense. That "muffed punt" that wasn't was bizarre - what did the refs see? There was also the fumble that wasn't called a fumble initially and then after review, they said "the call was confirmed". Reffing continues to be an issue and - conspiracy theory warning - why is it always not in Huskers' favor? I also was thinking a Husker big victory after the first two possessions since we were looking so incredibly good on both sides of ball. Ha! But then we stopped scoring and the "Iowa is going to take this from us" doubts started creeping in. So darn frustrating. Sure the fans are upset but I feel so badly for the players.
It's just crazy.
would of won with Heinrich
@@HopHead64 I was thinking Vince Ferrogama.
Since when does the classiest team with the classiest fans, not shake hands during the pre-game coin flip? Nebraska had to accept a lot of losing over the last few years but when you do stuff like that, you are Losers!
I am an Iowa native deep in the heart of enemy territory, Gibbon Nebraska.
I will agree with your statement that a more disciplined team won over a better team.
Because our offense sucks
And so does our entire coaching staff and AD. That’s a problem.
Nebby captains refused to shake hands with the Iowa captains. Also Nebby players were walking thru the Iowa special teams warmups during pregame. Big red's disrepect is the reason they were not allowed on the logo.
Not gonna be able to sleep tonight after watching the end of that game. NJ. .
How you holding up my guy
Enjoy a six pack of Schlitz
1 - Yes, I can't believe we lost.
2 - We dominated on all but 4 plays like you said.
3 - I don't consider the season a success, was the weakest schedule we will ever see.
Can we address the elephant, what do we look like next year after losing what 13 seniors??? I think we will be worse next year.
If we keep the same staff, it’ll be more of the same. Keep the AD? More of the same.
Iowa won by three which is fitting, because they won for three reasons:
1. They could make a big play on offense breaking a big run-we couldn't.
2. They could make a big play on defense-getting the sack and fumble-we couldn't.
3. They can create an edge on special teams-getting the fumble, making big kicks-we couldn't.
We need playmakers and it would help if we could get really strong in special teams as well or we will continue to lose to them like this every damn time.
Absolutely.
We have some talent, our coaches are milk toast.
🙏🏾 G Sharpe, missed you today. The wave to the kids very special. Good game. Wish the QB had the option to run more when he has those opportunities. The officials made bad calls. I know it was cold but they needed to keep their eyes on the ball …just didn’t want OT, thinking of their own.
The season is successful, they made it to a bowl game. GBR🏈
Very positive outlook.
As I was watching the game, I was reminded by what Steve Sipple said on Early Break. "Iowa will wait for you to make a mistake". Its exactly what they did. I still see it as a mostly successful season since we are going bowling. I see it heading in the right direction. Glad this season is over and the many of the players who maintain the losing mentality will be gone. Yes I am in disbelief. Most frustrating part is we owned them the entire game!
NU beat “who” to back into a nothing bowl game??? If you’re proud of that, the bar has gotten disgustingly low in Lincoln.
@DeBa1226 nice of you to put words in my mouth. I didn't say proud, but making a bowl game is mostly a success since we haven't in 8 yrs. Getting over that hump can be the hardest part, and it was done on a team with players who have built a culture of losing. Have to acknowledge successes when they come as they are far and few between.
Could Rhule have replaced the entire team with different players, uprooting students' lives in the process for the sake of winning? Sure, but he didn't want to do that, and I respect that. He had to try to instill a winning mentality into losing mentalities. That's harder to do, but it will be a stronger program in the end, and I am sure the players appreciate it and will help them mentally far into the future. As a long-time fan, I appreciate the more respectful path, although the harder one!
@@Brian36685 no, that was a question, rube. IF you or anyone is proud of getting into a nothing burger bowl game having beaten no credible teams, then the bar in Lincoln is as low as it’s ever been. Participation trophies for all. Save the Rhuley kumbaya, “uprooting students theory”; you sound like you sat down with him and went over these items of concern. Maybe he should stay off the field and become a counselor.

I went to Iowa City tonight with 3 other loyal Nebraska fans. I am in disbelief, and I'm angry about the loss. We choked at the moments that were most pivotal in the game. Our special teams man....
We absolutely were better 95% of the game than Iowa. Tough loss to take.
I'll be back cheering for the bowl game though. GBR!
Very tough to take.
As an Iowa fan, i couldnt have scripted a game that would be more heatbreaking to Husker fans than what actually happened. What a sh!tshow.
Hear me out: Husker marching band starts using the Benny Hill theme song when we see the same ole mistakes.
Or the old song, “The Way We Were”, sang by Barbara Streisand.
Record setting 27 straight losses to ranked opponents. 10 consecutive seasons playing .500 ball or worse. Front loaded your schedule to post 3 wins versus junior varsity talent. 0-2 versus SoCal (UCLA, USC new additions to the conference with losing records). Two bye weeks to rest and prepare which led to two losses anyway. Lost last 10 of 12 meetings to Iowa. 3 or 4 games this season scored ZERO SECOND HALF POINTS. Lost 5 of last 6 games to back into an entry level bowl game only because our fans travel well, not because our program beat anyone credible or deserves a bowl game of any level. Out coached, out played every week, ten years and counting. Participation trophies for everyone!
shut up.
Frustrating loss for Big Red. IA is a snake in the grass just waiting for you f*8k yourself. Adam Carriker is a class act. Doesn’t call the team that has beaten them 10-12 times trash or garbage . The current players could learn a thing or two from him. Hint hint.

Adam, I’m in total agreement with you ! Big Red has to execute better, minimize turnovers and get it done. I hope this game teaches them a lesson, but I’ve seen the same movie so many times I unfortunately question if they will ever learn anything.
It's so tough.
It’s so amazing how we’ve blown so many games. The fans are really upset, but I can’t imagine how upset the former players are.
Oh they are embarrassed and they know why it happens.
I have been a husker fan since the mid 70’s ever since I was about 7 years old and my god mother shared with me that she was a Tudor at UNL, for the football team, specifically for Johnny Rodgers among others. Every loss hurts……but, TODAY………stings so bad that I’m not sure I can do it anymore!🤷♂️
I’m with you brother, I go back to the Game of the Century when JR Superstar ran wild. Have been glued to this program every season since. Used to listen to the great Lyle Bremzer do play by play from the radio in the cab of our tractor discing all day as a teenager. Used to scope thru the Omaha World Herald and the Des Moines Register every Sunday post game for reports and stats. I, like you, have eaten and breathed this program for all these years, and it’s disgusting what our rich history has become over the last 10 consecutive seasons.
Why do fans of the losing teams always say it wasn't because the winning team was better? Is it a self-coping mechanism kicking in? Iowa is 8 and 4. Huskers are 6 and 6. Pretty clear to me.
understand what you're saying and credit to Iowa for doing nothing except for 3 plays and a bad ref review. And there's your answer. How do you game plan if you're Iowa? "Ok guys, we're going to suck on def line, off line. Our running game which we rely on, will be non existent. We're going to have 1/2 or less yards. 1/2 or less possession time. But... we plan on their QB fumbling a couple times, a bad ref review will give us the ball near the goal line and we still won't score a TD, and the last QB fumble we'll recover on their side of the field, and we'll barely make a long field goal to win the game! Ready, break!" Just amazing.
Offensive performance was a fucking joke. Should have had 35 points
31 points. QB and receivers are not on the same page. Is it the routes, QB not knowing how to throw the ball depending on route/coverage, our line still has issues or is it the line coach?
There's been so much excitement for Coach Holgorsen - "DO ANYTHING TO KEEP HIM" etc. Waiting to see if our emotional fans (I'm one) will make a total 180 degree turn against Holgorsen after falling in love in a few days?

Raiola missed a throw or two. Neyor missed a catch for a big gain, maybe even a TD. We muffed a punt and didn't tackle on one play. Nebraska outplayed them on every other play of the game. Tough loss. I am still encouraged for the future.
@@robertepperson2294 And had a bad snap that caused an easy missed field goal.
And it looks like this every game, for 10years. Someone needs to own this run of ten seasons playing .500 ball or less. Players AND coaches need held accountable for underperforming. This program is milk-toast. Just a real embarrassment.
Carriker, did you ever run track? Because you seem to be saying that the guy who led most of the race is the best runner regardless of how many guys pass him in the last 50 yards. The finish line decides who is better in track and the scoreboard determines who is better in football.
I love watching your summary because you literally say everything I am saying. Including how terrible Colt was at calling the game. 😂
I'm personally over the program. I paid for cable the last 10 years only for Nebraska football. Ive attended nearly 70 games.

Holgorsen looked like last guy. Why can't we tell relievers get beyond the line of scrimmage or I won't pass to you. Way to many catches behind 6line to gain. Are you chickens. Instant failure. Defense was always right there to tackle you. You've got to get past the line to gain. You aren't getting do overs.
Second most frustrating part. Put Harrberg in. Coaches have fallen in love with Raiola. He's too green, he's not a fighter,and he wants to be a cheerleader before he's done hus job. He functions like a premadonna. He's not a dual threat quarterback. Put Harrberg in at least half the time. Coach Rule has fallen in love with Raiola and it's killing us.
3. This season was an improvement but why didn't Rule have Holgorsen from the start of the season? We're red because that's catsup on our shirts.
Love your take AC. You're right on on your take and love ❤️ your commentary.
1. No, not surprised Nebraska lost because on your Iowa prediction video I commented, “Win the field position battle. Don't beat yourself with penalties, turnovers and poor special teams which give Iowa a short field. Make Iowa drive the length of the field to score.” Obviously, Nebraska failed to do those things.
2. Most frustrating part is knowing who Iowa is and how they play and the coaches still fell for it along with poor offensive line and special teams play again! FIRE DONOVAN RAIOLA & ED FOLEY!!!
3. The regular season will be a success if Donovan Raiola, Ed Foley and Garret McGuire are fired. In Donovan Raiola’s first two seasons there were ZERO offensive linemen from Nebraska on any of the B1G first, second or third teams and it is unlikely there will be any this year either.
Adam, at 19:15 you say that the last 8 matchups have been decided by 1 score? Not true. The 2017 matchup vs Iowa which falls within those 8 and obviously was not 1 score. Please revise.
a TD and a 8 point conversion is 8 points. 1 score.
I was very concerned when NU missed the field goal. I just thought that was the beginning of the end.
The most frustrating part of the loss was how Nebraska tried to start playing keep away with 8 minutes left in the game. Just a terrible decision. And why does Dylan Raiola seem to just collapse mentally in the 4th quarter of close games? That’s a trait that the program has been dealing with for a long time now. The fact that it’s carried over from one coaching staff to the next is wild.
6-6 is better than 5-7. It’s baby steps, but I’m calling it a success. A very slight one. C+ max if I was grading it.
Top notch coaching at its finest. That’s how you score Zero second half points, again.
Fair.
Time for Nebraska to move to Conference USA or Mountain West or be able to play Kent State or Kennesaw State every week.
Matt Rhule is a Dumpster Fire!
The best team is always the one that executes winning plays to impact the scoreboard. The rest doesn't matter. The better team is usually the most disciplined during the game. The better team won.
Do you think Riola will stay @ neb. ?
Why would he leave? Fools think he leaves
Nope
We lost because of OUR mistakes. If we didn't have the Mistakes all the numbers say we should have won.
Iowa is the least penalized team in college football. So even if they don’t have the best talent, they minimize mistakes…that equates to a great coaching staff, full of discipline and accountability.
Hire Bo Back
I'm tired of getting frustrated and watching them lose in games that are this close. Play calling still needs improvement. I'm right with you on the reaction! GBR!!
Nebraska being Nebraska
I had a feeling the whole game that, that dude would muff a punt. Even though he didn't touch the ball, the other kicks,it looked like he was having trouble fielding the balls. He went to his knees to catch punts 3 times. I knew something was going to happen
I thought the same thing. From the start I knew I would happen. He was diving and hitting to ground on each catch. Iowa played field position on the punts and waited for the Huskers to make a mistake. Perfect Iowa football! Don’t forget about the shanked punt from husker punter.
@@jtmp126yep I saw it coming. But I had a little hope with the way our defense was playing. Now I'm hearing Tony White is leaving. Hopefully not
I was messaging with my uncle at halftime, we both knew that our defense would hold strong, we held the 2nd best runningback in the nation for everything but 1 play. Defense did their job, our offense lost the game, our tackles couldn't do anything to stop their edges. I love our team and what Dana has done in just 3 weeks but damn how do you not put a TE chip on their best pass rushers on one of the most important drives of the game. should we have needed a game winning drive HELL no our offense died in the second half. GBR
Watch the Jay Higgins post game interview. Im embarrassed for ALL Husker fans. Yall need to give Rhule tbe boot. Good kids arent going to want their names attached to that sort of BS.
karma won.
1. Yes and no 2. We beat ourselves again. 3. YES.= BOWL GAME
TTB
1. No- Nebraska didn't play with "killer instinct"... too many errors and self inflicted mistakes.
2. After year 2 with Rhule, Nebraska still struggles to win games. They still play to the level of their competition.
I may be wrong on this but believe last season Rhule said that the close games against Wisconsin and Iowa would help Nebraska in the future... that he was disappointed in the losses but the players would learn from those losses and get better...
3. No, this season was not a success. The team made it to a bowl game, but the season should have had at least 2 more wins.
Nebraska has to figure out how to play to win AND play to the level of their talents/capabilities. The Huskers still play to the level of their competition
The curse of Scott Frost continues. I love Matt Rhule but this year has been extremely disappointing. We have a lot of key players not coming back next year. Therefore, I'm worried that next year will be another 6-6 year. This was the Huskers year to win 8-9 games and they blew it.
Key players?😂 the seniors suck other than Robinson
The only loss on the online that hurts is losing Scott. Sorry but the back up RT can't be worse than benhardt. Neyor and banks we largely not as advertised. I think losing Coleman was bigger loss than losing either of them. Wright can step up to replace hill. Robinson and Hutchmaker while big hits are replaceable.

Wasn't there a non call OPI on Iowa, might have been in the first half?
Once again Nebraska snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
If Karma exists, Nebraska is going to receive some extraordinary good luck very soon.
To the Nebraska captains not shaking hands and stalling Iowa marching band! And Jay Higgins shaking your coaches hand at end of game! Priceless!!!!!!😂
Never an excuse for a lack of sportsmanship or character.
I think I accidentally clicked on one of the last 8 years’ gut reaction video
You know my favorite part of the game was how on 3rd and long we kept doing short pass run plays where we would throw the ball laterally 5 to 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage. It was a great plan to try and gain 15 yards instead of just the 10 or I don't know throwing the ball down fucking field.
My favorite part of the game was Dylan getting stripped of the ball with like 1:35 left to play…. Because I knew something sideways was about to happen! It always does! NU always finds a way to rip your heart out just when you think they’re on the verge of something good happening. I’ve seen this play out more times than I care to remember over the years. You can etch it in stone, AND opponents have come to know that too. We don’t have a coaching staff great enough to turn that around.
Iowa knew they only needed five FD's
Adam, I need your help. I called into Big Red Overaction and one of the hosts told me "I was lips to God's ears", when I talked about how to throw the bones correctly, and on 3 and out. The other host was not about it and said talk to Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter's. So I can't reach out to them but maybe you can educate me and others on how to throw the bones
Great video from an Iowa fan . The statement Iowa touched the ball first is really funny when you said it didn’t matter what color of shirt you wear , because it does ! I didn’t see anything positive of that case , the video couldn’t show it that close so it’s all to do with the color of your shirt . When I saw it I thought it could go either way . Bad season for the hawks in my opinion . Should have only lost one to the bucks teeth eyes . I believe iowa loses at Lincoln next year , we lose a lot of seniors and much tougher schedule . Gotta believe the buskers will have 8 wins next year tho .
To me, two of the most frustrating things about the special teams unit is neither of the long snappers are young kids, and it appears the coaches didn't think having a good, experienced second LS was much of a priority. Camden Wituki's a junior and was the #2 long snapper last year. This is his first season of extensive game action, but he's been snapping in practice since 2020. Aidan Flege spent two years at Iowa Western CC, redshirting in 2021 and playing in 2022 before transferring to Nebraska. He wasn't even on the Nebraska team in 2023, he was just a regular student!
It's not like Rhule and Foley didn't know Marco Ortiz was out of eligibility at the end of last year. It's also not like the best LS in the portal before this season got scooped up by higher profile P4 program, either. The #1 LS in the portal, Carson Selee (5-star rating by Kohl's Transfer Camp) was signed by Buffalo.
The answer to the number 2 question is " What is the most disappointing" That Matt Rhule still gets paid $8 million after failing 50 percent of the time this year and Dana gets paid $66,267 for failing 2/3 of the time for 3 weeks work. Where is the accountability?
Nebraska football seriously needs to see a shrink about their rivalry against Iowa in football. The way I see it; Nebraska suffers from low self-esteem issues and can't seem to get over it. Meanwhile, Iowa once again won all their B1G rivalry games, and a warm bowl awaits them.
Matt Rhule's expectations of games going down to the very end, and the expectation that our toughness that will win is old stuff. He lets the clock run down by huddling late, and it has become self fulfilling prophecy. Why can't we follow the template of great halftime adjustments, and usually a win. We play not to lose period.
Sickening. 334 yards to 164 yards. 5 IA first downs. They still managed to lose. We should be used to this, but this one was especially bad.
Just crazy.
Run up and down the field for yardage all you want. The idea is to score more points than the opponent. We scored Zero second half points for the 3rd or 4th game this season, but they’ll tell ya, Dana called a heckuva game, and sure are proud of those guys in there.
Our defense gave up 7 points and we lost 😂
I was not surprised. I think going to a bowl game is a sign of success. I also think continuing to lose games (esp one score games) that are winnable is a sign of lack of success. So I think Coach Rhule has had some measure of success but next year he must show improvement over these types of losses.
No yeah I'm pissed. The players, THE PLAYERS, on offense sold this game fr. The coaches did well for the most part. The complaints of the final drive fall on deaf ears because we should be going for the win. We want to be CFB playoff contenders we better be able to clear off teams like Iowa when we need too. But we didn't ... OUR SPECIAL TEAMS SOLD OUR TEAM ON CLEARANCE! There were some weird ass ref non calls for Nebraska. But the players didn't show up. Too many missed catches (throws in the first half), the defense was locked in besides one broken run that there was a missed block in the back call. A team THIS GOOD shouldn't be LOSING! ... LIKE THIS!!! We look how goofy CU looked last year. I'm glad we have the bowl game practices to use. USE THEM ALL!!! PLEASE!!!
Rhule should've went for that 1st down instead of punting which got Iowa back in the game!! We were running the ball and went away from it!!
Getting to bowl eligibility was the "floor" for this season. I think HCMR realized that and thus made the absolutely correct decision to bring in DH (and others). So yes, this season was a success in that we made progress and met the minimum level of success.
I was fine with OCDH’s plan and call for the Iowa game. While the result was disappointing, the players were in positions to succeed on multiple occasions. I believe that Holgorsen will improve the players’ execution over time. Instilling a much-needed higher standard of accountability, discipline, and attention to detail will take more than a few weeks.
It will also take a similar level of work for him to get that higher standard from the Offensive Assistant/Position Coaches. All of this improvement happens through development and/or replacement.
I’m guessing that any length of contract that DH agrees to will give him the control that he wants (and has mentioned). I believe that his approach to achieving a higher standard of accountability, discipline and attention to detail from the entire Offense will be much more “intense” and “straight forward”.
We’re often reminded that what we see on the field is either coached or permitted. And what you permit you promote.
We’ve seen improvements in the Offense in just a few weeks… and in a very uniquely challenging situation. I certainly hope we can get DH as our OC for a few years so we can see (by the play on the field) the standard that he promotes.
DCTW needs to continue to improve his unit as well. Consistency will go a long way to creating/sustaining a dominant Blackshirt Defense.
HCMR needs to upgrade the ST Coaching and thus the standard of play from our ST. Our ST play has cost us games and/or has continually been a source of negative plays/outcomes.
Raiola will now enter the transfer portal after the bowl-if we indeed get to go to a bowl.
He’s not going anywhere.
Would people shut up about the portal. Jesus. Enough. He’s not. Move on.
What happens to the million dollars he's making if he leaves?
@@jimc4839hed make it somewhere else.
I’d love to see Dylan go follow Shedeur’s career at Colorado so Prime can show NU how to grow players, surround him with serious coaches and player talent, to clearly show the difference in both programs.
Some of the worst playcalling I’ve ever seen. A cold night when it was difficult to catch and difficult to hold onto the football. There was a lot of success running the ball, but we called place that made no sense. Short passes for the sidelines, when there was no room to cut up field. We showed that we could run the ball, but we refused to do it. I just sat back watching it and shaking my head.
