2024/11/18

The Common Fans discuss Nebraska’s heartbreaking loss to USC. The loss to USC perfectly sums up the last decade of Husker football. The unlucky bounces, the inability to make crucial stops on defense when needed, the offense not being able to convert key opportunities: all of it is all too familiar to the Big Red faithful.

Nebraska Football: Trust No One

2024/11/04

The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s garbage performance against UCLA: When it comes to Nebraska football, you cannot trust anyone. Matt Rhule said the team played with a championship mindset against Ohio State; Nebraska showed the opposite of that against UCLA. Everyone is to blame: the Head Coach, the offense, defense, and special teams. The team came out flat, didn’t seem to have any answers against the Bruins. The Huskers appear to have gotten progressively worse since

The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s meltdown loss against Indiana: Huskers implode in major test against the Hoosiers. Was this loss worse than any loss of the Frost era? A win over Indiana was never a guarantee, but no one saw Nebraska just completely failing to show up. Huskers tossed around at both lines of scrimmage. Belief that the defense could keep Nebraska in any game turned out to be way off base. Offense has gotten continually worse in Big Ten play. Too quick

Did the Huskers’ performance against the Illini raise some concerns that affect how we look at the rest of the season? How good is Illinois? Decade-long drought in overtime games.

Nebraska Takes a Step Back in Loss to Illinois

2024/09/23

The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s gut punch loss to Illinois:Huskers lose in familiar fashion, with late mistakes, crucial penalties, and an atrocious overtime performance. Outcoached, out-schemed, outplayed. Perhaps more concerning than anything was the performance of the defense, which never really looked to be in control. Re-setting expectations. Another underwhelming performance by the offensive line. Special teams still costing the Huskers. Another rough performance by the
