Lanning did gamble and fail in the first two games, with 0-6 4th down conversion record. Worst one by far was the 4th-and-8 at the our own 33-yard line in Q4 of the OSU game which arguably cost us the chance to win. But I see that he cleaned things up in the Nebeska game, going for it only when it makes sense, with a 3 for 3 record on 4th downs. He clearly was a much more conservative coach in that game. Glad he listened to criticisms. The only coaching flaw in that game was changing QB late, but fortunately not too late for us to beat the sleepy cornhusks.

7th punts and still 3 minutes left in Q1. I am going to do something else. Please try in-game adjustments, DL, it can be fun!

He doesn't see very well this season, unfortunately...

Utes, Mormans and TTech are the only 3 unbeaten teams left. Is it going to be B12's year? Let's try Akili Jr.!

Nebraska wins 28-21 1 take-away turnovers 1 sacks 200 passing yards Hope my negative-jinx helps OBD!

So 6-5 or 6-6 for the year then? Not sure we will go to the Civil War with that record. Incidentally, if the Beavs keep winning, they might make the playoff. Wouldn't that be something?!

Or the Mexico of Washington. ☹️

All very encouraging. At this point, we don't have anything to lose (except for Civil War in a nobody-cares bowl), so why not try everything. In fact, let's do it in game and adjust quickly when things stop working! That would be real progress.

Good for him. Unfortunately he has had a lot of chances this year to stand out ...

They are trying to help us. But I don't think it will matter much in the end...

I will take the under, what about you?

The offense lacks good skill coaching and looks unmotivated. Both can be blamed on the coaches. It's much harder in this NIL age to motivate players that are making millions already. So the quickest solution is having smart game plan and management, which is easier said than done. Sorry but I am not very encouraged by the 2 losses so far. I just don't see us realistically winning more than 7 games this year at this point. So maybe Idaho Potato Bowl vs the Beavs?

Gambling Dan needs to change. If he didn't go for two in the first TD, he would've needed to go for 2 in the end of the game and we would have gone to OT. As to 4th down conversions, we are 2 of 10 so far if we take out the PSU game. https://cfbstats.com/2026/team/529/fourthdown/offense/gamelog.html

Unfortunately, I think a lot more will pick Nebreska this week, me included... ☹️
