Unfortunately that's what we have on a bye week. We have seen Adrian ball out before and lose, like a lot over 4 years but finally he got a win. Let's see if he can do it more than 1 week because we have all seen a great week and the next basically Tulane the next. We just don't have anything better to do this week :lol:
Face the music. K-State is a far better team, more disciplined, tougher, and with Adrian running or passing, they could be Big 12 champs. Nebraska fans were pretty hard on this kid, when clearly, even if he were still here, I believe we beat Northwestern and Georgia South. His running ability is missed, it also covered up our bad O-line for all the years he was here. Give him credit. He was barely touched tonite, and slid most of the time. Give him credit.
Warner did ok as well, but isn't going to win any foot races. Made some key third down grabs.
Frost was a fraud, and didn't build a culture or a program. I am sitting here thinking about all the players we lost in his tenure that have made impacts elsewhere.............a few have. I watched KU and KSU today, and believe me, those two coaches, coach up and develop players. I think we could do a lot worse than hiring either one of those dudes.

Lol, u straight up said “mostly with Martinez and Warner”…. Stop trying to bag on your own program and make it out like Warner caught 10 grabs for 100 yards and a TD. You’re equally as classless for hyping up something that didn’t happen. U even double down saying “he def did more to win that game than he did here”… he had plenty of chances here and I remember fondly his stone hands dropping a few critical TDs in the end zone for us. Revisionist history much?

It’s funny because NU fans are also saying that the coaches at KU and K-State aren’t good enough to be coaches at NU.

Completely agree with the last statement. Being able to get the best out of the talent you have is crucial. We have some excellent talent at Nebraska but somehow our coaches cannot get these guys to perform in games. May be Mickey will surprise this week.

I loved his comment after the game saying the culture at KSU is special. Touché Scotty.

Like when you have a serviceable place kicker completely whiff a ball on a tee…. Always felt bad for him. That was extremely embarrassing

I don’t know what’s been said in this thread. IMO, KSU has had the reigns on their offense to unveil in this game. They thought, I’m sure, that they’d have enough vanilla offense against Tulane to win the game. It backfired. Tonight, they fired all their weapons. To me, having watched them several times already, they have only themselves to blame for their lone loss.
I find this thread completely funny. Adrian never beat a Top 10 team on the road here. He never had the chance to do things like he did tonight. Football is greater than one dude, so last week wasn't only him that laid an egg...........just like he didn't lose 29 games for us by himself..........Smothers had how many turnovers and mistakes against Iowa last season..........yeah. Nebraska fans who are reared has the best fans in the world, I wonder sometimes if that is actually true......some act like worst ever. Realizing that Frost was a complete fool is much easier than blaming Amart for our losses, because clearly, when he is coached better, he plays alot better and his team wins!

Lol you believe he was moving the program forwards... as in he was improving the on field product he inherited from Pelini? :bs:
Any sort of evidence to indicate that he was moving the program forward? Was it striking out with the whole Calibraska movement? Honing all recruiting focus on big name 4 & 5 star prospects who rarely came before the staff settled for below average talent because they failed to recruit with any backup plans... I'm old enough to remember the Foster Sarell for Chris Walker trade off.
You also believe boosters chose Bob Diaco as our defensive coordinator? :facepalm: Maybe Eichorst, but any boosters choosing a failed Diaco would be shocking.

Yeah, I agree. Obviously, it’s clear, Nebraska still has a culture issue. They don’t have one, except of losing games.

Oh Adrian has done some extremely dumb things over the 4 years we had him, throw into triple coverage run out of bounds 3 yards short of a first down on 4th down to lose the game etc, they are very well known. He does hold some blame for some of the losses but not all as it seems apparent coaching had quite a bit to do with it and their dumbass plays. Blame goes all around for the clusterfudge we currently have. He was the starting QB and he was not one we could say with a straight face that we 100 percent could depend on when needing 1 play to put it away. Tonight he played quite well and didn't make those old mistakes we came to expect him to do when the rubber met the road. Can he continue to play like this? From 4 years of watching him, probably not but I hope he proves me wrong and good for him. He was not a a player we could depend on when it counted most.
