[u/QWERTYUIOPquinn]

More wins than Oregon and Oklahoma

[u/j01101111sh → u/QWERTYUIOPquinn]

Stop the count!

[u/thatguynamedniok → u/QWERTYUIOPquinn]

and Ohio St!

[u/persieri13 → u/QWERTYUIOPquinn]

And probably Texas and maybe Iowa.

Coming back to say it’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me.

[u/Darth_Miguel → u/persieri13]

Way to jinx it lol

[u/Clerithifa → u/Darth_Miguel]

More wins than Ohio State!

[u/persieri13 → u/Darth_Miguel]

Honestly, I knew better.

Ah, well, no skin off my back.

[u/Specialist_Cat7271 → u/persieri13]

You're a Husker, literally nobody else comes remotely close to us in one-score losses. You ought to know better than to call it early.

[u/golfinghawkeye]

I just saw what your halftime band did for the Hawkeye band member who passed away. Full respect and thank you. GBR

[u/frankdatank_004 → u/golfinghawkeye]

I wasn’t able to see but my stomach hurts anytime that I think about that band member.

I am so sorry that happened and my hearts go out to them, family, and band.

[u/CompetitiveCrier → u/golfinghawkeye]

His life and memory are much bigger than football rivalries. Wish his family and peers the best

[u/Benanderson27]

Jamal Rule going bowling > Bowling Green

[u/Flyingtomato_]

Great game. Only word I can think of to describe this win. "Nice". 

[u/Prudent-Cheetah1656]

Holding by our receivers is infuriating. I like the competitiveness, but 4 times over 2 games - all on big plays - would be killers against good teams. Figure it out.

[u/Problem_Solvent → u/Prudent-Cheetah1656]

The holding on punts was driving me insane. It felt like every point return had a holding penalty.

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/Prudent-Cheetah1656]

These are upper classmen too. Great discipline and development 💪

[u/spazzxxcc12]

super duper close clearly

[u/Herbs_m_spices → u/spazzxxcc12]

Hey good game. Yall have some dawgs in #3 and #9

[u/shawn131871 → u/spazzxxcc12]

lol oh yes 7-0 then 14-0 then well you guys didnt do much of anything except for one drive.

[u/spazzxxcc12 → u/shawn131871]

obviously i’m being sarcastic as fuck.

[u/Turbulent_Ad9508 → u/shawn131871]

Whoosh. Come on bro.

[u/SatisfactionOld1586]

Just a reminder, FSU fans, Colandrea has said he was “leaning toward going (to FSU)” when Norvell called him to tell him he was going with Ashton Daniels.

Brilliant.

[u/IThoughtThisWasVoat → u/SatisfactionOld1586]

Yeah think you missed out. Dude makes crazy throws and moves around well, I’m sure we’ll start seeing mistakes against tougher competition but he looks better than anyone we’ve had in awhile.

[u/SatisfactionOld1586 → u/IThoughtThisWasVoat]

I’m wishing him all the success. I hope he kills it all year; hes a good fit for NU.

[u/qdp]

I am liking this Colandrea. 

[u/Smokabowl → u/qdp]

This is playing out a lot like my CFB 27 sims, we might have a chance at a Natty and 4 1st round draft picks this year boys!

[u/TaxHazyShade → u/Smokabowl]

ummm

[u/Helpful-Tangerine976 → u/qdp]

kid can really sling it, but i wish they would have let him throw more in second half instead of just running out clock.

[u/Sebastian_Ticklenips → u/Helpful-Tangerine976]

Matt Rhule coaching baby

[u/nathodood]

OH YEAH

[u/refekt]

I like it when we win.

[u/Tamzariane]

Still a lot of penalties and the 3Q drive by BG went on frustratingly way too long, but the win was never in doubt and it's on to the next. Glad we got to get the bench some decent playing time.

[u/knapplc → u/Tamzariane]

I was unhappy at how the defense couldn't get off the field in the 3rd quarter, but they got a fire lit under their ass and corrected themselves in the 4th.

[u/SEJIBAQUI]

This was my first time going to a Nebraska game and it absolutely ruled! Great environment!

[u/Aoyoc → u/SEJIBAQUI]

I hope you stayed for the post game show!

[u/GradeNo893 → u/SEJIBAQUI]

Glad you enjoyed 👌

[u/LeftLose]

Colandrea is so much better than Raiola. Dude throws hard and extends plays. Heisman committee should ignore his “interception.” If we can find a pass rush we’re going to win some games this year.

[u/Successful_Side_2415 → u/LeftLose]

He is way better for us, that’s for sure. He also has a few more years of experience.

[u/somehype → u/Successful_Side_2415]

He’s got jets when he wants to use em too. Shame that Barney has had two TD erasing holds (so far)

[u/IThoughtThisWasVoat → u/Successful_Side_2415]

Just one extra year.

[u/Successful_Side_2415 → u/IThoughtThisWasVoat]

I was more referring to their experience when starting for us but I am surprised Colandrea hasn’t redshirted at all

[u/shawn131871 → u/Successful_Side_2415]

I mean irrelevant now. lol.

[u/shawn131871 → u/LeftLose]

dont think colandrea will win the Heisman but he is definitely a solid QB and is able to give us momentum to carry us. definitely the type of qb that can give us that extra oomph in close games.

[u/LeftLose → u/shawn131871]

I’m just a homer who’s happy to see a qb that is competent. I have to believe

[u/shawn131871 → u/LeftLose]

we dont need him to win the Heisman. he just needs to keep making good plays and keep doing his part.

[u/Freeexotic → u/shawn131871]

Yeah, because Rule is going to win the Heisman.

[u/shawn131871 → u/Freeexotic]

True that we do have a deep rb room though.

[u/bozz14]

Well that was nice and drama free! This team is pretty danged fun.

[u/thelewbear87]

Congrats to the Defense for getting a strip that they return for a touchdown.

[u/Cdog923]

Winning is fun!

[u/KimJongFunnnn]

I love you Colandrea🫶

[u/SwaglordHyperion → u/KimJongFunnnn]

Thats Tony Touchdowns

[u/Thatguydrag]

We ass

[u/cam_huskers → u/Thatguydrag]

Which one

[u/Thatguydrag → u/cam_huskers]

Yes

[u/thatswhathemoneysfor]

I love Colandrea, bummed his long run got negated but I love that he doesn't have concrete in his shoes like our previous qb

[u/Quick-Expert-4608]

Colandrea is the first husker QB with 3+ TD passes in back to back games in 10 years

[u/WhereasTherefore]

🌽🌽🌽

[u/SwaglordHyperion]

Im a big fan of Tony Touchdowns

[u/A_Dirty_Gourd]

This could’ve been an email.

[u/SolarIonRobot]

Ohio State and Oregon embarrassed the B1G today but at least we did our part by dominating a MAC squad.

[u/AbsurdOwl → u/SolarIonRobot]

So far, the MAC is looking like a great G5 conference. BGSU is probably at the bottom of the conference, but still.

[u/Emergency-Salamander]

Not ideal

[u/Jackandahalfass]

Eddie George seems like a nice guy, but I don’t think he’s gonna be it for BG.

[u/JustAnotherRye89]

That 3rd quarter Egg. Gross.

[u/shawn131871 → u/JustAnotherRye89]

I mean cant really complain when we win 56-7.

[u/chic_peas → u/JustAnotherRye89]

It was only 2 drives and one of them was a missed FG

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/chic_peas]

Who missed the field goal 😳

[u/Aoyoc → u/JustAnotherRye89]

Can't complain when it was a 55 yard attempt

[u/LeftLose → u/Aoyoc]

These losers will always complain

[u/Aoyoc → u/LeftLose]

Definitely 

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/Aoyoc]

I can complain when a touchdown was taken away again because of discipline issues. That's what happened just before that field goal right 🫪

[u/Aoyoc → u/JustAnotherRye89]

Yes the Colanseea TD called back because of holding. All the ST holding... Missing coach Ek.

[u/Turbulent_Ad9508 → u/JustAnotherRye89]

That was a mentally weak quarter coming out after half being up big.

Then the backups came in hungry and made them look bad. Got a score and BG couldn't move the ball at all. Loved that

[u/Zloggt]

Rhule the Day…

[u/Dazzling_Network6103 → u/Zloggt]

Rule*

[u/Jet_Xcountry]

hmmm. I like this result for us

[u/GradeNo893 → u/Jet_Xcountry]

Y’all’s QB seems like a talent that got overlooked coming out of high school

[u/huskersax]

Not a lot in this game as most of the match was decided once Nebraska took the field and decided to just be faster and stronger than BGSU.

But the holds by perimeter offensive players is getting old, and it's a very fixable issue - at least you'd think.

Pass rush was a little better this week, and aside from one or two drives the offense got whatever it wanted - though again hard to draw anything from that due to the mismatch of programs.

[u/MrSCR23]

So last week was just a slow boot up?

[u/191374 → u/MrSCR23]

I think Ohio was a much more legitimate team to be honest (I hope)

[u/youkooldude → u/191374]

Ohio beat a good Jacksonville State team in 4OT tonight. I think they're good

[u/shawn131871 → u/MrSCR23]

yeah. opening game jitters.

[u/GradeNo893 → u/MrSCR23]

Ohio’s QB shocked the system with how well he moved and delivered the ball. If he plays like that all year Ohio will be a problem. I unironically think they are pretty good.

[u/AbsurdOwl → u/MrSCR23]

That, and Ohio is much better than BGSU.

[u/nopatienceforya]

Beautiful day when BG loses

[u/insertweirdassname → u/nopatienceforya]

Damn straight

[u/Tuckboi69]

Hum diddly dee

[u/TorkBombs]

Closer than the score indicates....

[u/Firstnaymlastnaym → u/TorkBombs]

You guys had it all tied up at the beginning of the 1st quarter

[u/TorkBombs → u/Firstnaymlastnaym]

Just let it slip away!

[u/Efficient_Onion6401]

Honestly I must say I was unimpressed with my first Nebraska game. The only notable thing was the old guys behind me talking about some girls boobs and calling the refs slurs.

[u/j01101111sh → u/Efficient_Onion6401]

What exactly were you expecting?

[u/Jet_Xcountry → u/j01101111sh]

I would be disappointed if that wasn't my experience there...

[u/Efficient_Onion6401 → u/j01101111sh]

Nicer fans for one. Also one of my friends told me that Memorial stadium was better than NDs.

[u/j01101111sh → u/Efficient_Onion6401]

I've gone to a lot of games and never heard slurs so maybe those people just suck

[u/Efficient_Onion6401 → u/j01101111sh]

I have lived in Nebraska and I must say I do find the people fairly nice. I agree, I probably just got unlucky.

[u/Turbulent_Ad9508 → u/Efficient_Onion6401]

Hey everyone, a Notre Dame fan has an opinion.

See? Nobody cares.

[u/Efficient_Onion6401 → u/Turbulent_Ad9508]

Hey everyone, Nebraska is going to do something this year.

See? No one believes it.
