First drive Aaron Henry. Never see L Hansen snap low. The O line enough said. The Nwestern coaches saw what to do against us. End around. We win Saturday on to the pin stripe bowl.
NW with 500+ yards of offense today against Minny...300 passing, 200 rushing. Will be a long day next Saturday if team doesn't play inspired....maybe long even if we do.
I mean if we recover their fumble on the Jacas sack we probably win. One play can't lose you a game but it can absolutely win you a game. Would've been a huge momentum swing in their own territory vs just the typical punt.

We came into the season ranked 12 AP and top ten in many others. We have not looked the part in any games against top teams (except maybe USC) and this one tonight was awful against an awful team. That's disappointing to a fan base and donors that have done their part to support the team the past two years. I don't think spoiled is the term, but disappointment is understandable.
Henry, Discher and Miller need to be finding new jobs this offseason … Period … End of story …
Absolutely pathetic …
And to say we should be happy with this ? GMAFB … Top 15 FB team … That’s the expectations this year … The expectations the PEOPLE IN THE PROGRAM set …
FAILURE …
And a LOT of people are investing their hard earned money into this and when the ROI isn’t there … They’re allowed to call it out …
These aren’t kids anymore … Stop protecting them … They want to cash these checks and put out crap effort and not care in return ??? Not how it works …
Changes need to be made … Bret knows this … He’ll get it done …
But holy cow is this freaking frustrating and just flat out UNACCEPTABLE !!!!!!!!

It's an absolute miracle that Luke 1) came out of that beating with a (hopefully) playable body and 2) has zero picks on the stat sheet.
Getting mad in the presser doesn’t solve anything … And just brings more negativity to the program …
Handle that
internally … Like a pro … And that’s exactly what he’s doing …
Update: He can’t …
Errr, no. We have massively underachieved compared to preseason expectations
Well I had 27-10 right. Just the wrong way.
Just disappointing.
Just disappointing.
What does Discher bring to the table ??? Genuine question …
Our special teams isn’t great … TE recruits said they don’t have a good relationship with him and have gone elsewhere … Our TE production ??? Mediocre is a NICE way to describe it …
If we wanna be a big boy program … We need to go get someone better …
And I like the guy … Seems like a great dude …
But this
ain’t cutting it …
I’ll be rethinking mine. It’s becoming apparent I have no interest in repeated “blowout football”, where we beat ourselves. Not fun. It’s supposed to be fun, right?
Note however that I truly enjoyed the entire OSU game, despite the loss. We played competitively and lived up to our potential. Well done guys!
Looking back, I shut off the TV before the end of the Indiana, Washington, and Wisconsin games . . . not because we were losing, but because we played sloppy disengaged football —- far below our potential.
Hopefully we won’t do the same at Northwestern. I’d be tempted to bug out pretty early after three of these manure shows already. Maybe I’m not cut out to be a fan? Seriously.
THANK YOU!What does Discher bring to the table ??? Genuine question …

But this
The preseason expectations were a little out of hand(I think I saw someone on here say they thought this was a ten win team, minimum...preseason I don't think any team is guaranteed 10 wins...) and I've always maintained that back-to-back 8-win seasons is a worthwhile accomplishment for this program in itself and if we can get there that would be a successful season. So for me at least, my disappointment is not that we lost our 4th game of the season. It's the *how* we lost. I was not expecting us to look like that at any point this season. And if you were, maybe a warning to the rest of us next time?
Luke's just taking an absolute beating. So frustrating and ugly to watch.
Honestly no reason the protection should be this bad. We don't have injuries, have all 5 OL starters back... and it actually wasn't all that bad a year ago.

All this talk of getting rid of Henry, Discher, and Miller (all correct), but what about the strength and conditioning coach? These guys are visibly slower than most opponents and considerably physically weaker....we need a better off season strength and conditioning program, its embarrassing watching these guys get bullied and burnt every week.
I knew it was coming. lolPreach Indy
Yeah, I did. I’m not like a 20-year guy or anything though. I’ll re-up because it’s my thing with a family member and the memories at the tailgate are worth it.
Anyway…
I hear you - I do - but we’re in a different world now. Now that we’re paying players with revenue share this is 100% dollar-driven only. Wanna know how I know?
DIA just took their first 10-win season in over a decade and used it to bend fans over and shake every last M-F-ing dime out of our wallets via that reseat loyalty point cash grab. They just sold the naming rights to memorial stadium for 100MM. If that’s the game we’re playing, it’s hard to tell a fan base that we need to pump more money in until Bielema shows he’s gonna value winning over loyalty because the DIA certainly values revenue over fan appreciation.
- Enough saying Aaron Henry needs 30 chances to figure it out.
- Enough letting Kaden Feagin try to figure out how to be a lead back when we all know every dang D1 team wanted him on the other side of the ball.
- Enough letting Bart Miller’s crap show continue year in and year out.
- Enough letting Barry Jekyll and Hyde around when obviously tempo is the thing that’s worked all damn season.
Bret is 100% the man to lead this team to the upper echelon of college football but if his loyalty and patience keeps getting in the way of us winning I’m not gonna be shocked if people turn on him because he’s being stubborn.
Bret says "we'll take this with us on the plane and digest it..."
Yeah, I tried to digest it too, but I kept throwing up.

I know not 1 damn thing about S&C, but how much money do we have to throw at Adam Fletcher to get him a staff under him to lead strength and conditioning for both?
