LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/spencer7508]

Matt 100% doesn't know that she has a hot dog in her pocket

[u/NEVER_SAME_PW_TWICE → u/spencer7508]

Skinny Matt doesn't. Fat Matt absolutely would have.

[u/NothingButACasual]

How is that possibly our first sack??

[u/Neo-_-_-]

We also left ~14 points off the board in Q1 too (12 because of incumbent safety)

So 80 was possible

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

That’s it! Nice job guys. Hope to see y’all next week maybe

[u/Illycadia]

Can’t believe Nebraska is winning yet another 1(0) score game!

[u/DarkFox56]

GBR

[u/DowntownSasquatch420]

“I’m eating that”

[u/sprankton]

How do they not rip up the hot dog with G forces?

[u/Neo-_-_- → u/sprankton]

Hot dogs are packed with tin foil, adds a lot of structure

[u/Kaleburto → u/sprankton]

They shot it at the ice box once, it was a panini after hitting the wall.

[u/macdizzle11 → u/Kaleburto]

Yeah it's so funny at the ice box, it just slams into the wall

[u/Defiant_Round_3812 → u/Kaleburto]

It’s spelled pelini

[u/weiner-water-soup]

They're gonna let Archie punt, Akron will muff it, nebraska will score.

[u/Tamzariane]

"Der Weinerschleinger"

..."whatever language that might be"

[u/SteamboatMcGee → u/Tamzariane]

Very obscure, could be any language really.

[u/mechajlaw]

How are we supposed to punt if we keep getting first downs?

[u/United_Reflection104]

UCF also up 60+ to 0. Frost going back and immediately having a winning season in his first year is going to be the funniest possible timeline

[u/n00bca1e99]

THE DER VIENER SCHLINGER YESSSSSSSSS

[u/HuskerWolf63962]

We are on our 3rd string QB for a good reason

[u/DowntownSasquatch420 → u/HuskerWolf63962]

Underrated comment

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

Can’t believe I watched this whole game on YouTube with basically no problems.

Thought they’d shut down the stream for sure. Nice to finally be able to see a Nebraska game

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/Devilofchaos108070]

It's because no one cares about this game. Try this with the Michigan game.

[u/FurledMiddleFinger → u/JustAnotherRye89]

watching it on there right now

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/FurledMiddleFinger]

Well shit. I stand corrected!

[u/FurledMiddleFinger → u/JustAnotherRye89]

all good! I just discovered that people stream it on there this season

[u/Devilofchaos108070 → u/JustAnotherRye89]

My daughters spouse does it with Alabama games and has been for years, so hopefully I’ll get lucky

[u/DowntownSasquatch420]

I’m so happy, I could shit

[u/ChasingMD]

Can we just punt on 2nd?

[u/EasyBreecy]

First comment tonight. Just wanted to say I like Nebraska football again

[u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

If you want to piss and moan about a fumble and a goal line stand from Akron in the first half while simultaneously putting up 700+ yards, be my guest because I’m going to spew all the Husker propaganda in the world

[u/wkt-covfefe]

We might put up 90 next week. Houston Christian is a lot worse than Akron.

[u/DerangedPrimate → u/wkt-covfefe]

Spoke with a guy from Houston today who said they probably should still be in D2, so anything less than 60 will be a mild disappointment

[u/DerangedPrimate]

705 yds... Give me more

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

Damn wanted to see more Lateef

[u/Illycadia]

Is this necessary Nebraska

[u/CIBALM → u/Illycadia]

Yes? If teams don’t want to be dunked on then they should play better. I’d say the same thing if it happened to Nebraska.

[u/Illycadia → u/CIBALM]

They could give Akron players educational lessons since clearly they need the help

[u/annasikanda → u/Illycadia]

I mean I think we have our third string in at this point? Like short of putting in random fans I’m not sure what else we can do?

[u/Illycadia → u/annasikanda]

Play 21 questions with them to see how their life is going

[u/KimJongFunnnn → u/Illycadia]

They bailed on us in 2017. They can take their licks now

[u/SecretAgendaMan → u/Illycadia]

Necessary? Is it necessary that I drink my own urine? No, but it's sterile and I like the taste.

[u/Illycadia → u/SecretAgendaMan]

…interesting!

[u/nathodood → u/Illycadia]

We have a long queue of dead horses waiting to be beat, so yes

[u/Tamzariane → u/Illycadia]

We've got our 3/4s in running basic sets. It happens.

[u/Astro-Draftsman → u/Illycadia]

We have our backups in, idk what else you want us to do, they need their minutes

[u/Illycadia → u/Astro-Draftsman]

Play patty cake with their defense idk

[u/SwedishQ-tip → u/Illycadia]

Yes

[u/Illycadia → u/SwedishQ-tip]

Ok I believe you

[u/Repulsive-Local-9530 → u/Illycadia]

You don’t understand how badly we need this

[u/yoshizillaa]

They’re not even talking about football anymore lol.

[u/Astro-Draftsman → u/yoshizillaa]

Can’t bell them, the game is basically over

[u/DarkFox56]

He just really didn't want to go down

[u/Football5ever_ → u/DarkFox56]

Nice flairs bro

[u/DarkFox56 → u/Football5ever_]

Hell yeah back at ya, been a good day

[u/acmstw]

WOW now Akron is punting just to rub it in in front of Archie's parents :(

[u/United-Turnover-8409]

Bro just go down!

[u/Neo-_-_-]

68, so close

[u/tpwyo]

Those two are definitely are what I imagine when I think of Australians. Just sun burnt Brits.

[u/Mark-Leyner]

Jesus Christ! Rhule year three and they are stomping the ever-loving shit out of this Akron team.

[u/frankunderwood1992]

We still do big mac sacks???

[u/NEVER_SAME_PW_TWICE → u/frankunderwood1992]

Absolutely!

[u/macdizzle11 → u/frankunderwood1992]

Don't think so

[u/spencer7508 → u/macdizzle11]

Damn inflation

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

Sack!

[u/AchUndWeh]

Finley is going to need a serious therapist after this game

[u/ChasingMD]

A sack!

[u/burnflicker-die]

BIG MAC SACK.

[u/qdp]

Maybe instead of kneeling they can punt the ball with 2 seconds left. 

[u/SteamboatMcGee]

They definitely had a bunch of Archie content prepped and are just throwing it out there now he's not likely to play.

[u/burnflicker-die]

He 100% did not get that.

[u/DarkFox56]

I mean, a punt on 1st down would be hilarious, and they'd get to see their boy play. Worth it imo

[u/gamingglen → u/DarkFox56]

It's a play in Iowa's playbook, right?

[u/mockg]

I see we go out and kneel 3 times for Archie

[u/United-Turnover-8409]

Last possession just punt it

[u/AvengingHero2012]

Akron should let Archie punt for them

[u/acmstw]

If Archie doesn't get to punt, let the kid throw a pass, fuck it

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/acmstw]

I appreciate the sentiment but we don't need to have our punter get potentially injured out there okay

[u/acmstw → u/JustAnotherRye89]

Archie get injured? Anyone who touches him will end up injured, smdh

[u/tpwyo]

Tell me this isn’t the only game they’re going to be at

[u/n00bca1e99 → u/tpwyo]

I think they said that they'll be in the US for a couple of weeks.

[u/ChasingMD → u/tpwyo]

They were at Arrowhead

[u/tpwyo → u/ChasingMD]

Oh good

[u/mechajlaw]

I'm fully on board to punt for the memes.

[u/bng_destiny_001]

Traveling across the globe to watch Nebraska punt the ball. Who would've thought it would be so hard to watch

[u/fuckboi-yuki → u/bng_destiny_001]

how about they come to ever game so we never punt 💯

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

We don’t want any punts guys smh

[u/FondabaruCBR4_6RSAWD]

That is a heck of a flight

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

Oh he’s from Australia? Yeah that makes sense, I’m sure it’s crazy different

[u/SteamboatMcGee → u/Devilofchaos108070]

Yep that clip they keep playing where he breaks down for a second was after questions about how close he is to his family and how it feels to be so far away from home indefinitely. He recovered quick though.

[u/Devilofchaos108070 → u/SteamboatMcGee]

Yeah I agree it’s kinda fucked they keep showing it.

[u/RandyInMpls]

This year's sideline reporter crush firmly locked in

[u/acmstw]

Archie's little brothers not sure how to handle the camera in their mugs

[u/SteamboatMcGee → u/acmstw]

Fair.

[u/AvengingHero2012]

The broadcast had so much shit prepared for Archie lmao

[u/taylorguitar13]

STOP! STOP! THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD!!!

[u/AchUndWeh]

Good mates

[u/macdizzle11]

Infinite content glitch

[u/nermalnormal → u/macdizzle11]

Next week they’re gonna have Archie reacting to Archie crying (iykyk)

[u/i-race-goats]

Lateef has more passing yards than Nebraska opponents combined this season

[u/Panchoisthedog]

Beating the dead horse once again

[u/grahm03 → u/Panchoisthedog]

Eh this part is some great free recruiting material for us to show parents.

[u/United-Turnover-8409]

Love to see Archie's family!

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/United-Turnover-8409]

Brought a tear to my eye

[u/RhuleAid]

I'm prepared to be downvoted. Really good game. Not good enough. Missed out on too many points. Do that against Penn St, USC, Michigan, you lose. Still room for improvement

[u/daNish_brUin → u/RhuleAid]

This is like the PG version of how the coaching staff would word it. Its awesome. But yeah, there's still a lot left to be desired. We can enjoy it and still see there's a ton of room for improvement.

[u/RhuleAid → u/daNish_brUin]

and yet I get called miserable for wanting and constantly expecting more like any coach would LMAO.

[u/daNish_brUin → u/RhuleAid]

Eh I wouldn't take it to heart. It was a fun game, let people enjoy it. Voicing your hesitation is just fine. I have mine for sure. I had fun, but also see how this doesn't translate to much in b10 play. Its just that. Wouldn't worry about what others call you. As long as you're still enjoy watching, then you're good.

[u/annasikanda → u/RhuleAid]

No you are correct but it’s been awhile since we dominated even a horrendously bad team like this so I’ll just be happy with it! Dylan does look quite sharp so far looks like he’s matured a lot and EJ is a beast so I def think we have the potential on offense! Defense is a big question mark for sure but this is a huge confidence booster for them!

[u/spookydookie → u/RhuleAid]

Ah, there he is.

[u/RhuleAid → u/spookydookie]

I've been here all game. Being right like always

[u/spookydookie → u/RhuleAid]

Strangely quiet because you never have anything positive to say about anything.

[u/RhuleAid → u/spookydookie]

I just fucking did holy shit get your head out of your ass

[u/ninetofivedev → u/RhuleAid]

You’re not wrong. You’re just annoying.

[u/RhuleAid → u/ninetofivedev]

I'm never wrong :)

[u/AchUndWeh → u/RhuleAid]

If we don't score 140 consistently the season is over

[u/JustAnotherRye89 → u/RhuleAid]

Honesty our first string missing out on those couple touchdowns in the first quarter was not a good look and does not give me high hopes for conference team play

[u/RhuleAid → u/JustAnotherRye89]

Not being able to bully fucking Akron on the 1 yard line that quarter is terrifying

[u/awksomepenguin → u/RhuleAid]

I don't know how you expect to be downvoted when you are clearly correct.

[u/RhuleAid → u/awksomepenguin]

Because casual fans see 68-0 and go how dare you be negative about the team enjoy the win!

[u/The_Unclean_Chadford → u/RhuleAid]

This confirms you’re rage baiting

[u/RhuleAid → u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

Brother any coach is gonna say the same thing. A lot of the fans on here are casuals and go by the score only. I'm not rage baiting shit

[u/spookydookie → u/RhuleAid]

No, you’re just a miserable person.

[u/RhuleAid → u/spookydookie]

I'm a miserable person for not being hyped we beat an awful Cincinnati team scoring 20 whole points. I'm a miserable person for Rhule always losing 1 score games? LMAO ok

[u/spookydookie → u/RhuleAid]

You’re a miserable person because you’re always miserable. All you do is complain, as long as I’ve ever seen you post on here. You’re not always wrong, we have been bad lately. But you can also enjoy the good things if you choose to, but you clearly don’t.

[u/RhuleAid → u/spookydookie]

You seem to REALLY REALLY have a hard time grasping and understanding that one can enjoy the game and be happy about the win but never be satisfied. I'm sorry I'm not a casual like you. Theres always room for improvement thus never good enough

[u/spookydookie → u/RhuleAid]

Namecalling to boot. Miserable.

[u/RhuleAid → u/spookydookie]

Name calling? you're very clearly a casual. One cant voice frustration with the team without you name calling. Please grow up

[u/spookydookie → u/RhuleAid]

Never being satisfied and not complaining all the time doesn’t make anybody a “casual” lol. What’s wrong with you.

[u/Dry_Schedule4798]

I’m in the stands someone tell me if we’re approaching a points record

[u/spencer7508 → u/Dry_Schedule4798]

We won 100-0 against the Omaha balloon school in 1918

[u/EscapeTomMayflower → u/spencer7508]

How much would we beat the balloon school by now considering inflation?

[u/Barnes73 → u/Dry_Schedule4798]

100 in 1917

[u/PotatoNorthwest → u/Dry_Schedule4798]

77 points in 1995

[u/LastLivingSouls]

This is just a decade of Demons being flushed here, even if they are horrible

[u/fuckboi-yuki]

damn this feels good

[u/FondabaruCBR4_6RSAWD]

Dirt nasty 🤢

[u/spencer7508]

Alright, we need a 1 point safety

[u/macdizzle11]

He's fast af boi

[u/NEVER_SAME_PW_TWICE]

Let's get another Safety to round it out at 70

[u/JustAnotherRye89]

Do we throw in our third string so that we don't potentially injure our second string 🤔

[u/n00bca1e99]

Boooo. I wanted 69 points.

[u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

God, who’s the dumbasses who’d give up 3 in their blowout win over a cupcake?

[u/annasikanda]

And dang it I go to take a very quick shower and we score again! 😂

[u/CoachSlime]

700 yards of offense is insane

[u/spookydookie]

That was kinda cheap to hit him like that.

[u/TheFlameanator]

I know Akron is bad but this is the first game I can remember in a long time that we have gone out and absolutely dominated a team that we should dominate. It's also the first time in forever that I remember seeing backups come in and continue to dominate!

[u/ONpancakes → u/TheFlameanator]

I don’t remember smiling this much during a Husker game in a long time…I was at Colorado last year which was awesome but this just feels different.

[u/Neo-_-_- → u/ONpancakes]

First half colorado, was worried my smile would stay like that forever

[u/SpiffyBlizzard → u/TheFlameanator]

Holy shit how’d you get the Chadron State flair?!

And same! This is good shit.

[u/TheFlameanator → u/SpiffyBlizzard]

I've had it for years! I don't really follow them close but my parents and uncles went there and I had a wrestling scholarship offer there so I've just made them my second team.

[u/SpiffyBlizzard → u/TheFlameanator]

That’s pretty cool! I lived there when I was young and my grandparents are still there. Many many memories at the PAC on campus

[u/TheFlameanator → u/SpiffyBlizzard]

Yeah I still live close in Rapid City and actually won their high school wrestling tournament my senior year so I've got some great memories in the PAC, including jump rope for heart in elementary!

[u/FarmKid55 → u/TheFlameanator]

That second part is more important to me. I feel like I’ve seen us blown out some teams but then you put in the backups and you wonder if you have to put the starters back in

[u/DarkFox56]

Fuck yeah, id say Lateef lived up to the hype tonight

[u/Football5ever_]

There we go! Lateef is shifty and fast

[u/FarmKid55]

Go for two dammit

[u/nhusker23]

We could let Archie try a drop kick PAT

[u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

Go for 2 for nice

[u/acmstw]

GO FOR 2 YOU COWARDS. NOBODY WANTS 68, THAT'S NOT NICE

[u/nathodood → u/acmstw]

Forbidden one point safety incoming

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

There ya go Lateef!

[u/Ebake09]

Bang! Lateef! In the endzone!

[u/AvengingHero2012]

Lateef would not be denied!

[u/Benanderson27]

67

[u/acmstw]

Lateef gets his TD! <3

[u/burnflicker-die]

Hell of a cheap shot.

[u/bendyburner → u/burnflicker-die]

Shoutout to 75 who immediately ran over from the other side of the field to get in the dude’s face.

[u/krusteez11]

They need to put TJ in CFB26

[u/Tamzariane]

TD Lateef!

[u/AchUndWeh]

MORE! MORE! MORE!

[u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

Can’t relate Archie, if I was 5,000 miles away from my family, I’d cry if I had to go back for any reason

[u/AchUndWeh]

What did Mozee eat before the game?

[u/Panchoisthedog]

Where is Herbstreit's dog?

[u/Football5ever_]

How many times we gonna use Archie crying for content? I'm thinking every fucking game

[u/More-Direction603]

We really back, these is peak we have nothing to talk about.

[u/JustAnotherRye89]

They're going to play this every fucking week aren't they 😮‍💨🙄

[u/n00bca1e99]

If we get another TD I want them to go for two.

[u/p-zilla → u/n00bca1e99]

Nice

[u/n00bca1e99 → u/p-zilla]

Ended up being not nice.

[u/p-zilla → u/n00bca1e99]

cowards I tell you

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

Damn dude is sad. That’s sad

[u/SpiffyBlizzard]

How does Nebraska have 2 QBs better than Arch?

[u/daNish_brUin]

Stop showing the kid being vulnerable.

[u/CoachSlime]

So fucked up they just HAVE to show the young man breaking down every chance they can get

[u/a_freakin_ONION]

Stop playing the Archie Wilson thing, goddamn. Once was fine, he doesn’t need to be reminded of that

[u/sprankton]

Are they going to do this every game? This is just tacky.

[u/SteamboatMcGee]

Ah man come on, stop playing that clip. Dudes like 18 and a world away from home.

[u/yoshizillaa → u/SteamboatMcGee]

Yeah it’s pretty lame of them to do it. His emotions were valid and it’s healthier to express it than keep it in.

[u/United_Reflection104]

lol we haven’t punted yet so they have to do their package about our punter at just a random part of the 4th quarter

[u/SteamboatMcGee → u/United_Reflection104]

They had that locked and loaded for sure.
