It was a called run play and QB was told not to throw. He needs to get hearing aids or get his ego in check.

Football 101. A 3 year starter has to know that he CANNOT risk an incomplete pass there.

Sure coaches take the responsibility, but fault? Yeah, that was Tommy. It happens.

If they really did call a run then why didn't the coaching staff bench Tommy on the next play. The next play was a pass yet again when they should have either kicked a field goal, punted, or ran the ball. The coaching unit pays lip service to the run. I was there and it was windy, passed all day.

First rule of leadership - it's always the boss' fault (in this case the coaches are the bosses). Call a play where there's no chance of it not being a run. It's all on the coaches.

A belly dive, QB draw, or FB trap would have simplified the play. Why put your lead blocker (TE) in motion before the snap. He forgot to go in motion. Tommy didn't make sure he went in motion to the correct spot, our RB said he thought it was a run. THREE mistakes - that's on coaching.

There were so many opportunities in the first 3 quarters that were not taken advantage of that the game never should have hinged on the 3rd down in the 4th quarter.

Coaches need to insure a win not let the players play pee wee football. when leading by 6 and Ill has just march down the field. the field goal was the best chance to secure the win or run pass option, PS any more decisions like that heads need to row.

Does Emmett Johnson's departure mean Nebraska needs a running back from the portal for 2026?

Yes - The roster lacks proven producers.

We have talent in the room. They will have the same learning curve that Emmett had. He was an average back at the beginning of last season and look how he blossomed. That said, if a solid back is available, take him of course

Nebraska is a 3rd Tier team in the BIG 10 and an after thought nationally and our expectations for recruiting should reflect that. With the powers in the BIG 10 nationally Nebraska's "good old days..." are just. Swept into the dust bin of what once was...Sorry, but...it's the truth as I see it.
