Yeah I heard they’re adding Dick Butkus.Do not worry. HC and DC, both, have promised that the negatives has been noted, they will be cleaned and last I heard they are adding some wrinkles to our D.

On offense, they've got a good mobile QB and they run a ton of read option. This defense has never—not a single time in the last 3.5 years—effectively stopped an option-based offense.
I agree with you regarding the fan base, but I’m not as confident with JW. I believe he gets another year.In my opinion, this game is the determining factor for Lovie's tenure. He can win back the fan base with an impressive win, or really cement the fact that he's in over his head with a loss.
I know which way I'm leaning.
Dick's gonna be in the house.Yeah I heard they’re adding Dick Butkus.
Maybe not so quickly mitigated. To date we have had 25 penalties for 253 yards through 3 games. Last year it was 77 for 773. Previous year 85 for 768. Lovie's first year 75 for 639.5. In theory, penalties should be something that can be quickly mitigated
I wish! Greg Lewis was pretty good too though. Can't forget Aaron Moorehead either.Separately, this may be the best receiving corps we have had since Brandon Lloyd, Walter Young, and Greg Jennings

OMG that is pathetic. When you can't even give them away you just might have a problem."fewer than 500" free tickets remaining
Nebraska is not good right now. In a few years or maybe even next year, yes. There is no reason we should be below the current Nebraska team 4 years into a rebuild imo.We are not on Nebraska's level and shouldn't demand to be yet. It's not these games that will decide Lovie's fate. It's Minnesota, Purdue, Rutgers, and maybe Northwestern.

I admire your optimism but I do have to wonder where you find it after the last two weeks. I've got to believe that Nebraska is at least 10 points better than Eastern Michigan.Nebraska isn't that good guys. They were way over hyped this season and they will also struggle in the Big. If Illinois loses its going to be by 10 or less.

Optimists view of the future (or here is a bunch of excuses depending on how you want to look at it):
1. This was Wole’s third(ish) college game so his read option play should improve
2. Sidney Browns first game back
3. Peters and receivers have only worked together with new playbook for a couple months due to late graduations
4. Corbin’s first game back since the hip pointer
5. In theory, penalties should be something that can be quickly mitigated
6. Last week we had a couple DL and safeties out, which hindered the limited depth we already have.
Separately, this may be the best receiving corps we have had since Brandon Lloyd, Walter Young, and Greg Jennings
Therefore...maybe the end isn’t nigh? Maybe?
