    That toe drag swag on the Minnesota touchdown late in the 4th to equalize is as good as I’ve seen

    Leading at any point in the 4th quarter is not at all what I would have predicted a few hours ago.

    Nebraska makes chicken salad

    Did I hear that Gus Johnson TD call correctly? Did I miss something for context?

      You heard correctly. I have no context to provide. Somehow the dropped lateral for a touchdown pass was not the most confusing thing about that play.

    Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt on the call, cfb season has truly begun!

    I am pretty happy with 0-3 at the half. We look like we’re a competently coached team. Minnesota fans should be more worried than us Cornhuskers!

      Definitely agree that Minnesota fans should be worried, but not ready to sign in that were competent, especially on offense.

    Holy cow, what a weird sequence of events at the end of the first half. NU maybe scored a touchdown? Nah, let’s let the call stand and go straight to an end zone interception lmao. 0-3 at the half is such a B1G score

        I agree. It’s a bummer the perspective was at a slight angle. If they had a shot straight down the line they would have overturned the call.

    Dear Huskers,

    Marcus Satterfield is going to make you so frustrated watching your team. Go ahead and start requesting his departure.

    Sincerely, A South Carolina Fan

      I don’t know very much about him but I’m already flipping between frustration from too many QB runs and too many picks. Thank God I at least experienced a bit of the 90s.

        He runs a “pro style” offense that really just has a shit ton of plays. If you watch the South Carolina games for the first 10 weeks, that was all Satterfield

        The rumor is that we took playcalling from him for the Tennessee game and we scored 63 points in a win. The following week we beat clemson, and then went and barely lost an offensive shootout with Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl.

        Our offense took a massive step forward once he was relieved of his duties. If Rhule didn’t hire him, he was going to be fired.

      Howdy. Just now hunting for an Huskers or CFB community alt to reddit. Good to see some folks on, even if it’s only two. I’m going to keep searching, holler if you find a more active community please and I’ll do the same.

    Nice job by Rhule sneaking in the name of that trick play being “Osborne”.

      I remember being terrified of Rhule in 2019. I was so relieved when he went to the NFL. Glad my team won’t have to face him regularly.

    Nebraska and losing games that they were winning by one score, a tale as old as time (if time started in the Frost era)

    Crazy sequence of events. I don’t care if you get a delay of game penalty, you should not burn timeouts on offense. For the next play to result in a turnover is just karma
