I get what you’re saying but I don’t think Bryce has picked anything, he’s been bad since we drafted him, he’s just bad which means, unless things somehow change, he will be bad next year too when hopefully we have better options in the draft

Things stay status quo and he will not be on the roster next year

Horns down, so far so good.  

This aged very poorly after a day at the State Fair.  Only thing worse than being around Longhorn fans is being around Longhorn fans after they win. Hope to have some get back today against the Cowboys.

Matt Rhule doing what he does best. Nebraska enters this weeks top 25 rankings. 

Has he beaten a ranked team yet? That was a big concern of mine when we were looking to hire him and I started digging into his record and was like, wait... this dude has never actually beaten a good team. Like ever. He's proven at this point that he can pull college teams out of the gutter and make them respectable but he still hasn't proven that he can actually take the next step and win some big games.

No, he got beat at home by Michigan this year.  The other five wins are against Big Ten and Non-Power bottom feeders. 

He's 0-7 vs ranked teams, and each year Nebraska has started strong and then faded in conference play.  Nebraska is 1-7 in two Novembers under Rhule.  This year their November slate is USC, @UCLA, @Penn State and Iowa.  Very possible they lose all of those games. 

His tenure at Nebraska is looking very Baylor-esque. 

And somehow he's still a front runner for the Penn State job.  Which would be ironic since they just ran a very Matt Rhule like (as far as can't beat any good teams) James Franklin out of town.

Jay-Z reminds us to be patient, it’s a 7-year plan.

He's found a pretty profitable niche though.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
