I would be cautious with Armstrong. First of all, he's not a fraction as fast as Martinez. And he's trying to throw interceptions. I know, he's not thrown interceptions like Martinez, but he's trying. Ball is being thrown way to high.

On the radio they mentioned after the game that for a while in the game Tommy was throwing off his back foot because he's not quite confident with his knee after surgery and it was corrected later in the game which makes sense because he was throwing better in the second half. I think putting Kellogg in during Armstrongs hot streak killed off another touchdown...

Who knows maybe this kid will fold under the pressure in the next couple of games once the media starts talking him up... Still very exciting for Husker fans who really needed a shot in the arm after the UCLA/Bo Rant/TommyFrazier week from heck we get to see the next good Nebraska quarterback bring back memories of the old days..

I always try to make one live game per year.

However, this one was not enjoyable, sorry! It was a good game, but it was just too {f-bomb}-ing cold and windy! (Pardon my language)

I've been to games in late November when the air temperature was in the 20s and it never felt like that!

It was a good game, but I would have enjoyed it better inside.

Oh well ...

Seriously, Minnesota? MINNESOTA?

Haha, oh lordy.

Northwestern will be funny, Michigan oh god, and Michigan State? heck, even Iowa will beat that Husker team.

SB Nation no longer has NU in a Jan 1 Bowl, but now projects them to be the B1G #6 playing the Big 12 # 6 K-State.

Carl isn't that smooth. Speaking of that type of scandal, was there every any truth about Solich impregnating a college student?

Tommy Armstrong is smoother than Carl Pelini at last call.

Reports going around that Tommy Armstrong Jr has a sprained ankle... How much worse can the injuries get this year? Are we really playing the 3rd string Quarterback as our starter? Anyways.. nice win today glad to see that the team is playing their hearts out no matter how bad the odds are getting for the team. Pelini has to be safe at this point since there's no way you can criticize him too much for his whole team being banged up.

nativeomahan · Post by **nativeomahan** » Sun Nov 24, 2013 11:35 am

Pelini's coaching position is safe...to the extent that the team has descended permanently into mediocrity, where it seldom cracks the Top 25 rankings, and never gets into the Top 10. Â I am old enough to recall the Glory Days of the 1970s, '80s and '90s. Â And I am resigned to them not returning. Â Life goes on. Â We seldom watch the games any more.

S33 · Post by **S33** » Sun Nov 24, 2013 6:15 pm

His coaching position should be safe for a few reasons. First and foremost, he just hasn't done enough to get fired. He's in kind of an odd position, where his accomplishments over the course of 6 years aren't at all impressive, while, at the same time, running a clean program, winning 9-10 games a year, and having competed in 3 conference championships games. By competed, obviously I use that term very loosely for last year's championship game in Indy.

At this point, you could roll the dice and fire Pelini after this season to see what coach you can real in, but it would be a huge gamble.

Or, you can continue to give Pelini some more time to develop this very young team he currently has, and hope for better days ahead. As a business decision, that certainly makes more sense than pushing all your chips to the center of the table and ousting Pelini.

Unfortunately for Huskers fans, it is a "wait and see" game next 2-4 years, pending any disastrous meltdowns.

nebport5 · Post by **nebport5** » Sun Nov 24, 2013 6:24 pm

The last few seasons have been disappointing no doubt, but I'd give Pelini a few more years. Â There's enough talent on both sides of the ball to be contenders soon. Â My only major issue with Pelini(and Beck) is hitching their wagon to Martinez, who's a good athlete, but isn't right for the system they've been trying to run.

I think that might have been more of a symptom of Pelini's recruiting ability.

I'm not convinced they had a better option. Either way, I do think he's got the makings for a run of success with this young team, who is growing up the hard way, and fast.

and that's not even a bad rumor. No way in heck would any good team hire Tressel until 2016 when all the penalties that they would have to incur would be over.

In a state where they don't even have the stones to legalize gambling, surely popular opinion wouldn't endorse their showcase university to entertain the idea of hiring a disgraced, sanctioned former coach like Tressel. Bo's going nowhere, unless it's on his own accord.

If another tape dropped or some recreational pharmaceuticals were discovered in Bo's place, he would be gone. Â Whether or not someone like this would get hired, probably not. Â Whether someone who can recruit and who remembers that the reason you have more than 1 QB is so you can use them, can be hired is another question.

It is to the credit of Armstrong and Kellogg that the team has the record that they do. Â Most QB's with the snap count they have would not be able to be as effective. Â Think of the goalie in Friday's UNO game. Â Miami's main goalie got severely injured (as it happened in front of us, it was too fast to see, but in replay, this guy got hurt bad). Â Their second string goalie had clearly not had much game time, and he got burned for 4 goals in about 15 minutes. Â Basically, a hay bale in front of the net could have been as effective. Â Were it not for their talent and ability to play cold, UNL would be looking at a very different season. Â Probably not get a bowl appearance at all, or get a trip to the "your fans will travel and spend money, so you get invited" bowl.

Yes, but he could recruit and he was a decent guy. Â You always got the sense back then that the fans were frustrated by the annual "almost there" seasons. Â

Now, people are more frustrated by the antics of the coach, the lack of getting things done, and the general feel that the team is not going to be better. Â The fan costs are also contributing. Â Back in TO's day, games were $25/ticket for a big game (and less than that usually, parking was affordable, and the games always started at 1:15, so they were an affordable luxury and one could legitimately fit the game into the weekend schedule and still have time for other things. Â Now the games start when ever the TV boss says it does, the tix are blinding, the seat licenses and coerced donations add a bunch to the cost, so now, instead of a few extra bucks out of pocket on Saturday, you are making a committment that bites into the rest of your budget pretty hard. Â Now, the team had better win, or the fights with your spouse over the costs and the opportunities lost because of them get real uncomfortable. Â That stress feeds into the "fire Bo" argument.

Pelini has had his moments, but overall, he is in line with what anyone can expect for a coaches conduct, on and off the field. And let's all be honest, Pelini has sure been on the bad end of a lot of screw jobs. it's almost odd.

If he ever loses his job, it won't be because of his behavior, or some limp d*ck moron secretely taping him a private, casual discussion.

If he gets fired its due to promoting guys like Pappuchis, Nebraska should never be a coordinator proving grounds for graduate assistants. Â If Pelini is willing to fire some of his buddies and bring in proven talent there is no doubt he keeps his job.

All of the outside BS like the leaked tape don't matter to me, just win.

S33 · Post by **S33** » Mon Nov 25, 2013 9:16 pm

I'm not even sure why he would experiment with unproven assistants.

MY best guess, and a lot of executive level people do this, hire inexperience as a trade off for an experienced, tenured individual who brings all their bad habits with them. Not sure if this applies to coaching, but my only guess.

Actually Carnes and Turner were higher ranked QB recruits than Martinez. Â Still I'd agree recruiting has improved.

I think there is only one DB that they are worried about. Joseph was going to go back south as soon as he got an offer, everyone knew that. People are talking Sanders, but he would need a better offer, Bullocks has been mentioned and another Husker at N Iowa.

guitarguy · Post by **guitarguy** » Tue Jan 07, 2014 6:38 pm

Sanders is coaching a major HS team in Cali right now so its going to take a huge offer to get him back to somewhere he's already coached. I want new blood coming in here rather than asking Sanders to come crawling back. Saw somewhere that the Utah State secondary coach won a few coaching awards lately and is looking to upgrade.. might be a good offer before the vultures find out. At least he's already coached in the cold so he wouldn't be as reluctant coming to Nebraska.

Post by **Coyote** » Sun May 11, 2014 11:14 am

Three Husker were drafted:

Stanley Jean-Baptiste, New Orleans (2, 58)
Spencer Long, Washington (3, 78)
Quincy Enunwa, New York Jets (6, 209)

Taylor Martinez is picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles,
Ciante Evans should be picked up by someone...

And for the first time since 1937, not a single Texas Longhorn was drafted. Their 2010 recruiting class included 2 Five Star athletes and 19 Four Star athletes. Nice coaching Mack!

Now the longest streak is with Notre Dame (1938), USC and Michigan (1939), Michigan St (1941), Florida (1952), and Nebraska (1963).
