We need to have that guy come in and give a motivational speech to our guys.

Nebraska 2017 PPG

Offense: 89th

Defense: 117th 

Thats a winning combination!  

Like Michelob light and 9:00 AM

I honestly don't care if we get 40 points scored on us as long as we score 45.

You sound like coach diaco.

I think you are on to something with that comment.  What gives me pause is the mentality of not really caring how many points are scored on us.  I realize in the modern game that no matter how good of a coach, staff, and players you have, there are times where you will get gashed as a defense.  But after the AAC conference championship game (and please correct me if I am wrong) it didn't seem as if anyone on the UCF coaching staff was overly concerned.

A win is a win, but my opinion is that both sides of the ball should deserve equal consideration, and even though this may not be a fact, the impression under the Chip Kelly/Scott Frost offense, and the UCF-Memphis, UCF-USF games, was that defense is an afterthought.  I think this philosophy/zeitgeist/impression that offense comes first and defense second is what is causing some hesitation among Husker fans.

All that said, I have confidence that Chinander and Frost will do just fine if they have time to adjust, learn, and adapt.  I honestly believe that Scott Frost knows and understands the importance of the Blackshirts to Nebraska football.

Fair enough. lol.

I hope all of you who think our D will be fine, are right. 

Don't care what UCF did in their Conf, it wasn't the B1G and they didn't have to play against those D's. 

I'm sure it will take time for Frost and his D/C to get some of the players they will need to slow down some of the offences's they will see.

As far as scoring, same as above, not B1G teams they played against.

Frost will put a lot better product on the field in a couple of years, that i don't doubt. He just needs time.

GBR!!!

I just want to see effort, play fundamentally sound technique, pressure on their Qb, and a defense that fills lanes. It seems like I haven't seen that in forever.

Just tackling well would be a marked improvement.

Yeah, it would be nice to force the other team into some mistakes.  

 

[jassman24]

Maybe if our corners didnt constantly play 10 yards off the wide receivers we might do a bit better.

Keeping the strain down as well, one would imagine...

Did Diaco have one big quote where he used the word "strain" or did he use it a lot? I kinda tried to avoid this part of the board (and coach interviews - and sometimes games) during the season.

We still have linguists working on deciphering his post games.
