I feel like the D, especially the secondary, has been really exposed the last couple weeks. Mostly there have been mental and technique breakdowns. But, there is no one better at plugging that specific hole than Phil Parker. I expect a tighter performance from the D. The offense should be...

I don't know that it is KF's ego as much as his old school philosophy. The starting QB is the captain and leader and benching him might fracture the psyche of the team. If you have two QBs it means you don't have one. QBs have to be given a longer leash so that they don't play tight. That...

I think the most we can hope for is that Lester keeps putting packages together for Sullivan and he continues to meet the moment. I have been on record on this board many times that the whole you can't play to QBs thing is just bullshit. If a QB's ego cannot handle splitting reps, then he...

The fact that Lester had goal line packages for Sullivan is a good sign. Creativity have been in short supply the last few years. I also think you don't need to have a goal line package if your starting QB is lighting things up. So, some awareness may be there. That said, it will be hard to...

"Should be" and what is reality are two different things. The reality is that the Big10 is looking for schools that meet the minimum academic requirements for conference membership (meaning, no more Nebraska exceptions) AND move the money meter. Being a superduper smarty school doesn't make up...

Right now, the Pac 12 has nothing better to offer SMU than the ACC. Even if the ACC loses its two biggies, it still will be better than the Pac 12. Too many moving parts to predict where things will be in 5 years though.

I agree with Fry that none of these teams move the meter at all TV wise. But, Wyoming and Air Force both have a solid football tradition and are more recognizable than the alternatives. If the ACC implodes and Stanford and Cal come back, I could see the Pac 12 being on par with the remnants of...

Maybe he retired after a mediocre career that has been by shined up a bit given the incompetence of his replacements, much like his hero!

Wyoming and the Air Force Academy make sense to me. They just need to get to 8 for now. I think once the ACC loses its two biggest members, and they will, Stanford and Cal will come back into the Pac 12 and then it starts to look like a semi-legitimate conference again.

That makes waaaaay too much sense for KF to implement. CM will play most of the game, and Sullivan gets mop up duty late in the 4th Quarter.

KF usually let's the season get away before switching QBs. So, we will need 5-6 more poor performances by CM, half of which are losses, to try out a new QB to finish out a 7-5 campaign.......

ISU's weird defensive structure will probably give us fits, but we will bust a couple plays and win the field position battle. I will go Iowa 20, Clowns 14.

The Clowns will watch the tape from Illinois State and how the safeties were trying to time the snap to crash down into the box and stop the run. It worked in the first half, but we burned them a lot in the second half. ISU plays that goofy D with lots of safeties, so expect them to be loading...

Brian was not a gifted playcaller by any stretch, but the difference between this game and last season was having a QB that could move his feet just enough to allow time for one of his skill players to make a play. Having a QB play QB instead of a right tackle playing QB is a real game changer. :)

Well, you have to like the trendline. That second half was the best half of offense since before any of us knew what COVID was. And, the defense was just stifling all game long. CM looked very shaky in the first half, much more comfortable in the second half, but even in the second half he...

Is it too soon to call us "WR U?" :)

Iowa 38 (The offense finds a pulse and the D helps out with lots of good field position and possessions) ISU (but not the crappy one) 10 (TD either is flukey or in garbage time)

NO. FUCKING. WAY. Nebraska could be playing Satan's Devils and I would be wearing Team Satan colors. Ironically, I agree with you that I like Rhule. I don't like Prime. At all. So, if Nebraska wins I won't be totally unhappy. But, I can't root for Nebbie on principle.

I thought Co was outplayed by NDSU. But, as I predicted above, in the end, CO's skill players were just too talented to be contained. Sanders is a Top 10 Draft pick. Maybe #1. He has a special sense of when and where to throw. But again, NDSU was the better team and came up a missed...
