It was pathetic and embarrassing. Our QB on sideline laughing was the last straw.

If you are OK with these kind of losses then you must still be a 'young' Husker fan. Us 'old' Husker fans find this very painful to even think about.

Seems like we're right back where Bo Pelini left us, 9-3 with 2 blowout losses

Iowa should never win by 30 points. This game can make or break a season, and it did.

I know we had/have depth issues, just the fact we have 9 walk ons on scholarship proves that. but I was really hoping the blowouts were done. next year will tell us a lot about this staff.

I just do not understand how you can get up for such a big game and lay an egg like they did.

we were out coached AGAIN to look like fools. Langsdork should be ashamed he had TA throwing all over the place, long passes to no where. I feel for the kids they are doing as instructed so that should be a very big clue......good luck on recuiting. WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO RUN. BAD BAD COACHING

Really??? Riley and his pitiful staff took the student athletes to Iowa City and let them get beat like a drum. losing by 30 points to anyone is unacceptable. Riley, Banker and Langsdorf did not even look like they wanted to be their. I feel for the student athlete and John Parella.

this loss will be long lasting, not just because of the wins and losses, but the one step forward and in this case three back loss will really be hard to overcome any time soon.........time to see what Riley is made of......

Losing to ANYONE by that margin is completely unacceptable, however it seems as though that has become a part of our new identity. I used to get really angry when we'd lose by that margin, but now I expect it to happen. Unfortunately NU isn't committed to winning.

Clear lack of effort on both sides of the ball. Even more maddening was why Fyfe was not put into the game given TA's obvious struggles. But hey at least Mike Riley axed coach Reed...

our style of play on the offensive line just does not "fit" B1G football. We are just demolished along the line. We were never even in the game.

Was thinking a win was 50-50 or less going into the game, the disappointment came with the margin of victory.

It seems like our A.D. settled for a so so coach who has a very mediocre reputation, so I guess when I look at the numbers of history I am not too surprised.

If I look at the first three quarters of most of this years games I probably could have seen this loss coming. I am disappointed that this is what the huskers have been allowed to devolve into. The lack of dedication the university has to the football program is disheartening.

Tommie's injury limited his effectiveness both in running and in his passing accuracy. Just a few connections in the passing game would have changed the complexion of the game. The year was a great turn around and I'm looking forward to more progress next year.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
