Hopefully Coach Frost posts this on the bulletin board and starts calling people out.

If we don’t get significantly better then I think you are right. Heck if we play this bad we could lose to Bethune-Cookman.

Like half of the o-line? Rewatching the game and my lord they just wiff on blocks sometimes.

We always CAN win, but unless Scott replaces the entire o-line before the next game we WON’T win. This team today would struggle against Bethune-Cookman.

Then maybe we need to hold walkon tryouts for the o-line or something. It would be hard to be worse than what we have now.

It seemed that the way several of our players reacted after tackles that they felt that Colorado was being dirtier than usual.... not sure who else noticed this.

Went and found some film on him and I agree he can run out of designed plays, but I didn't see any running from blocking breakdowns and such... maybe because they were highlight films... anyway he seems a great get, so hopefully he does well at Nebraska.

The Adrian Martinez get is pretty impressive considering the kid was offered by basically every major program and was the #4 QB in the country according to ESPN. My only concern is that the scouting report on him is that he basically only plays from the shotgun and is not a dynamic runner. Not sure how he fits into Frost's scheme given this. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

For those arguing the Midwest naming thing... remember... when that was first used (around 1820s I think), Nebraska wasn't even a Territory yet. I've always considered Nebraska 'Midwest' and it was always called by everyone I knew when I lived there. It seemed really strange to me to have Ohioans considering themselves 'Midwest' because they aren't even remotely west... unless you are counting from the original 13 colonies

If I remember correctly, we ran this same play 2 years in a row on the first play from scrimmage against CU and scored a TD each year. Extra credit for having the incomparable Tommy Frazier and Ahman Green run it. Bonus points for doing it against Neuheisal (aka Sweater Boy).

Megathread officially over?

Yeah, it’s embarrassing. It’s like that never even practice run blocks or something.

Ozigbo is 2x the back that Wilbon is... why is Ozigbo not in?

I don't have contempt for Riley. I find his coaching to be seriously lacking, but I don't hold him in contempt. My contempt is our former AD and Pearlman. SE was worse than incompetent at his job... he was so bad he was incapable of seeing how bad he was. They call it the the Dunning-Kruger effect. Where people of low ability have a cognitive bias of superiority and cannot then accurately assess their own performance. Certain recent governmental leaders have it too, with similar disastrous results. Anyway, I agree with you that Riley is not to 'blame' for this mess. He came in, did his best, and failed. But he was always going to do that. SE was a moron for failing to see that was by far the most likely outcome. SE is horrible and possibly even a Wisconsin mole designed to destroy Nebraska football (well maybe not, but it sure seems like it).
