This team is just so bad, inept in every facet of the game…again 

My Cornhusker fan friends are going to be annoyed they only scored 68 at this pace.

I am so sick of Reghi tell me each week how our coach is an offensive genius on 3rd down and 27 and we have 5 yards of total offense for the game.  Johnson is really bad.  Lets go to the our next QB.  He cannot be worse.  Zips football is simply unwatchable.

Zone read on 3rd and 9 smh

You're one of the last people in the world who cares about what announcers say.

We scored points!

I mean, credit given where due.

[exit322]

Well, I guess now is the time to make sure we give them credit for beating Duquesne.  Wouldn't want to be too critical when they play a team with a pulse, after all.

[exit322]

I had to step away for a bit, what was the delay for?

 

Ah, injury.  Hopefully the Toledo player is OK

Curious to hear what's up with Finley.

He hurt his ankle / leg toward the end of the game last week. Maybe it lingered all week.

Ah ok.  That could be it.  Maybe he tried working it during the warmups and it didn't go.

 

Roggow in now, which is probably a mercy killing for Johnson.

[exit322]

Ok Roggow wasn't anything special in this one, in limited work, but...this season is shot.  Time to see what he has.

All the fire the coach fans are out in full force. Again, this isn't about 1 coach or a QB...etc. This program can't compete at this level...... Let's frigging move on. I have season tix but likely only make 1 one more game. Not gonna lose sleep on weeknights for this garbage.

[clarkwgriswold]

145 yards total offense.

Oh for sure, the time to move to FCS is well past

If zips football was a disease they would be full blown aids

Man I was almost hung at high noon for bringing that up a dozen years ago. I feel a bit safer now…

Honestly, I debated whether FCS or Division 2 was the better call.

Honestly any money we would save dropping to FCS is probably negated by lost revenue. Non-scholaship FCS or D2 would probably be where things would start making mathematical sense.

That's what the question is.  Is the FCS money lost on the dozens of TV dollars made up by having more than 1400 people show up for the two November home games?

If he's not 100% there's no point in risking aggravation in a game we were very unlikely to win; hopefully he'll be back next week. Apparently Johnson Jr. did not inherit much of his father's passing talent.

With both of our wins coming in 1929 and 1937. Of our 10 wins, we won the first 6 meetings starting in 1923. We have only won 4 to their 11 since 1987. 

Are you saying our 1897 win over Ohio State is somehow now meaningless? smh. 😂
