4-0 and is 4-0 and we'd all sign up for this at the beginning of the season. However, I think we all know we need to improve a lot if we're gonna keep it rolling. We're not even close to putting together 4 strong quarters and playing up to our potential. Do that and we're ranked.
4-0 is the dream start to the season

After watching the replay of Washington, the clock operator was really bad and almost cost us the win. Especially in the last 2 minutes. Also the refs blew a call with a Washington pass- the receiver’s knee was clearly down in bounds and the clock should have continued to run. The receiver also was bobbling the ball before going out of bounds and the pass could have been incomplete.
One other thought, on the last kick return after they scored a TD, should we have risked a turnover and tried a return to run time off the clock?

What completely different players and coaches who happened to be wearing Nebraska jerseys did in 2021 or 2018 or whatever has absolutely zero bearing on this year's Nebraska team.
I know that, but the media picks and choose when the past applies to their narrative they want to promote for certain teams. Nebraska's past over the last several years is ignored, but Rutgers isn't given credit for the turn around under Schiano. All you hear is Rutgers is lucky to avoid OSU, UM, PSU, and Oregon. Not that Rutgers went to a bowl game for the first time since 2014 and bring back 16 starters. Rutgers brought more to the table than Nebraska this year.
Rewatched the Washington game,was unimpressed with the __O play calling.We need to put many more points up on the _boardl to keep winning
I agree but would take 7 points on offense if it is more than the other team. 😀
Good to see you enjoying the season my good friend…
Agree about playing better.Couldn't! Care less about rankings..Live for. WINS
You are getting old.And I am an expert on OLD
The simple matter is RU now has a reasonable chance to convert third-and-long situations. Last year, the odds seemed more like winning the lottery.
Thank you for your comment.I do enjoy watching the team.Years ago I went to those practices that I could just to be able to see the kids in person.Met a number of parents who must have thought that I was one of them.Not always good teams but always good timeshare
That's yard per pass. Completion was just over 8 yards. You are right, but GW did not make the third down plays we see now that AK is making with his arm and feet. AK is a serious upgrade.
For this weekend- obviously, want us to win and get to 5-0
But just as important- I want as many 1 loss top 25 teams to lose as possible.
14 ranked teams have 1 loss.
If for no other reason- how they would explain mult 2 loss teams to be ranked and keeping a 5-0 P4 team behind them...

They'd give the same stupid explanations they always give.
The good news is that from 18-25 - 7 of those teams have 1 loss and none of them really fall into the "protected list" - as we know that teams like ND etc will need 3 losses to ever drop out
it’s such a scam how the name schools like ND get special treatment /consideration for rankings etc. i get they have followings but that should not be the reason teams get in the top 25 .
I really don’t care about rankings at this point.
Just keep winning and they can’t keep us out.
Today is a very big winnable game.
We really need this one to solidify our place in the upper tier of the conference.
We might not be an elite team yet, but….

I do- I get it, they don’t matter yet. But, every eyeball that sees us in the top 25, in any poll, at anytime, is a positive.
Also, let’s say at 4-0, we were at 22- a single loss, let’s say at Nebraska, maybe drops us to 30. If we lose today, we don’t sniff 30 again for 3 weeks. And then, almost impossible to be 12 at tge end of the season

I feel pre-season location in the ranking is important to be in position to make the CFP. There is bias as to who starts the season at 1 yard line and everything is done to protect those teams. Outsiders like Rutgers have a slim to no chance that's because another outsider (Indiana or Illinois) might be the one outsider selected as the Cinderella.
You guys are absolute right. There is a bias with the rankings.
We probably won’t get into the playoffs with 2 losses, you know that’s not true with other programs.
We are turning out to be a solid program.
Let’s keep it up and see what happens

In retrospect we lost the next four and may lose the very next four..It seems that_F-B is not played very well in Piscataway
And when it is, soon it's not
1961s 9-0 was followed by 5-5 in 62 and 3-6 in 1963
1976s 11-0 had some good years follow it , 5 years later the losses were outweighing the wins
