Everyone knows when in Boulder in the 4th quarter offensive possession is vital. Most all team's defenses wear down there if the offense can not run some clock. Our D wore out - plain and simple.

Entire team looked flat in the 4th quarter.

CU made adjustments - went to a 3 man front and widened the ILBs to counter our success on the edge. We did not. No interior run game with 1 less man.. No vertical game. Our O ran our D in the ground.

Because we were running it when it clearly wasn’t working

Some of the play calling was very questionable inn the second half of the game. Why did they not use their big tight ends more? I mean Austin Allen is 6 '8" tall so why isn't here using his available

Weapons he has? It all seems a little vanilla and limited!

Frost was calling the plays like he was trying not to lose rather than playing to win. Colorado Coach took Frost to school.

Second half adjustments by Colorado confused the entire team and coaching staff. Felt like they went conservative just to hold on and escape.

Seems like we went into a shell - esp after Washington's long run off of the sideline flair pass. The next time we had the ball we did the exact play only to the other side. could've been a pick 6

Not, "they had to". Just if they couldn't execute the plays called, why could they execute the other ones? The offense got over confident and let it slide, with an eye on the score board.

Qb. Oline. Offense could be very good. Back 7 on d should be good Concerns at rb depth and unknowns on interiour d line.

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
