Martinez failing to make the plays necessary to win isn’t a play calling issue- that’s a player issue. How many times was someone wide open and the throw wasn’t made or how many times did Martinez have room to run and he chose to throw an ill advised pass instead? I liken Martinez to the kid who stays up for 2 days to study for the final. He tries so hard to be ready, but when he gets there, he biffs it big time. Now on the defensive side of the ball, I saw drives where we did well. The frustrating thing for me is having a 3rd strong QB be able to lead their team on a game winning TD drive, and seeing us being destroyed by middle throws, continuing to play man coverage when we should have been in zone. That is a coaching problem. But you have to remember where these coaches came from... Memphis best SMU last night 56-48, so they are used to having a D that can give up points, but having an offense that can overcome that- we can’t. The fact we weren’t in zone on that last defensive play is infuriating. The fact the staff didn’t tell him to take a knee and save time on he clock on the ensuing kickoff is infuriating. These are coaching errors that need fixed, as is not using that timeout on the 4th down. I don’t think this coaching staff is a lost cause, but I do think that because of a lack of talent and because we have players not making plays, they are probably stumped on how to get the results seen in practice on the field. There were times in the beginning of the Osborne era where people called for him to be canned, and aren’t we glad they didn’t listen? It’s okay to be frustrated. It’s okay to be pissed. Losing games we should have won is never fun. But for those calling for Frost’s head... have some patience, and give it time. Eichorst and Riley damaged Husker football in serious and insidious ways, and removing that level of toxicity from our program takes time... so give it to him. 2 years is nowhere near enough time. The bottom line is this: Scott Frost is as much an investment to this program as any of our players. He’s young and new to head coaching. He needs to learn. He needs to do better. There isn’t anyone out there who I would trust more for this job than Frost. He has more heart than any coach we could hire for this job, and he has a desire to bring Nebraska back. Maybe we should trust him to make the changes, get the players he wants in here, and let him. P.S.- There are positives to be taken from this game, too. Snaps were MUCH better. OL play was much better overall. And when is the last time Nebraska had 3 QBs who could all be starters? Progress is being made. Don’t let the loss give you Husker vision.

That Frost needs to make changes, that most all of our talent is young, and that we will find new and exciting ways to lose games. That the Eichorst/Riley sh*tshow is still having ramifications now, and that we need to have faith in Frost to fix it. I know he can. I don’t think there’s a better person for the job.

Impotent QB play throughout, terrible play calling all of 4th quarter, and a D that just gave a touchdown winning drive to a 3rd string. This is embarrassing.

Why weren’t we in zone? Ffs

Delay of game? I bet it’s delay of game.

This game is so frustrating. We are better than this.

I’ll take the tickets off your hands.

Oh nooooooooooo

No one: Absolutely nobody: Huskers: I wonder what would happen if I shot myself in the foot.

Oof. Well... we shall see how they bounce back.

Good god, no. Nonononononononono.

I bet you’re super fun at parties.

Maybe we can all go out for ice cream!

This is the song I feel like the players are singing to the fans today.
