That doesnt mean jack s#!t when they can score from 40+. 

Duh!

Our defense kept Iowa out of the red zone the entire game!

Some one explain exactly why Frost sucks.  I know he is way to stuck on Martinez,  but what else?

Frost is a damn joke of a coach.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Hope your power comes back on soon talicohusker.  Love lake Mac, but today is no day to get sand in your crack at Big Mac....  :-)

With the Hawkeyes stout defense it could easily be a low scoring game that comes down to one or two plays.  I'll bet we see some misdirection and weird formations.   Might even see an Osborne-esque trickeration play.    

I'm betting we see some / several formations with McCaffery and Martinez on the field at the same time, with possibilities of diamond formations in the backfield, direct snaps.  McCaffery as QB, AM in the slot, etc.  I hope so anyway.  See something to mix things up.  

Of course, if it works, they'll all be heroes.

If it doesn't work, the "why did they feel the need to get so cute" buzzards will circle immediately.

Don’t know why but this game feels different. Got the feeling that Frost might have finally gotten everything to “click”

 

Hope my feeling is correct 

Sort of the context of my comment earlier.  An early glass of koolaid gave me visions of our offense actually looking like Scott wants it to look...fast, efficient and explosive and our defense being quick to the spot and sure tackling.  I'd relish seeing that vs the Herky-jerks looking like a stereotypical slow, slogging BIG team.

Odd feeling today.  I know what I want to happen.  I have no idea what to expect will happen.

Huskers  34

HerkyJerks  27

Last cup of kool-aid for the season.

Right, I get anxious thoughts about test questions starting like this "If two teams leave the station, both with 5-7 records, traveling at 45 mph, one going east and one traveling northwest, which of them will arrive at a bowl game, and will they win?  Show your work.

Nebraska won't make a bowl at 5-7.  There was a comment this weekend that NU is down the list on the APR measure, so NU won't have that option.  This thread isn't worth the discussion.

So it is time for cheese fries?

Who is John Galt?

For big, fat people dressed in mostly polyester, they sure don't sweat much!

  I'll try it this way.  I hope Adrian improves beyond what you hope for and the others are better than his ceiling.

I'd go for that!

Correct.  He's bad.  I don't care what the stats say.  His mind is weak.  He's indecisive.  His play is too erratic.  I hope he's beat out by a grad transfer Milton or McCaffrey next year.  

Would it be hard to just hope he gets better?  Or perhaps recovers fully from some injuries unknown to us street people?  You speak pretty harshly for a bystander that is not involved in the day to day work being done.  I personally hope Milton and McCaffrey are absolutely amazing and the Martinez improves enough in all areas to beat both of them out.

Ok, in all seriousness its time an expert weighs in.  Ive been patiently letting you guys get your thoughts out on paper...some are spot on, others........lets just say sometimes the one calling others crazy is el loco gringo.

 

-All in all, our defense played great.  I have no complaints about our defense, even with a lil luck.

-offensively was hit or miss...we did some great things...we also looked like we always have for the most part (aside from pulling a leprechaun out of our a$$)  

-I would caution that the score was not entirely indicative of our play.  Look, Maryland literally gave us our 20+ point lead.  And then i think they were just lifeless.  

-AM should of had about 3 picks, those of you who think AM looked good werent watching the game...he looked the exact same as always..sometimes he would look good, but over half the time he looked bad.  This isnt baseball, a .400 batting % isnt gonna win you many games.

-McCaffrey on the other hand, looks good about 90% of the time.  

-Iowa will be the real test...if Martinez is our QB we will lose unless we have the leprechaun hostage.  If McCaffrey plays QB most of the game i like our chances, even Vedral if healthy.

 

Please, do tell us all of your credentials that make you an "expert".  Curious minds want to know.

As much as I like McCaffrey, I don’t think now is the time to start him. We still haven’t seen him in the passing game enough, and Iowa won’t  let him run that option with the impunity he had today. 

 

But i also believe quoting AM’s stats today as an argument is very misleading. Let’s face it, if the Maryland defenders could catch they would have had two or three picks. He still makes an awful lot of bad throws. 

 

But at this point, I think he still has to be our main guy. But I still think a series here and there for McCaffrey adds another dimension to our offense. And is just something else for Iowa to have to adjust to. 

Get him on the field for several series, and run the hurry up so they can't substitute on defense.  He could line up at WR on one play, QB the next, take a wildcat snap, etc, etc.  Would be a defensive challenge for sure.

He was hurrying to get to an early walk through at the stadium I'd guess.

If i was coach , i would be starting McCaffrey against Iowa.  

So would I.   At wide receiver opposite Spielman.

I expect that we win handily and convincingly.  And immediately thereafter predictions of 10-2 results for next year will follow.

Just thought I'd bump this to the back of the thread...  :-)

EDIT:  I forgot to add that I'd be one of those drinking the koolaid and making the bold predictions!  Lots of good looking young talent coming online next year!

First time since when??? That we have at least two quarterbacks that can handle the task.  Lots of young guys looking ok today.  I know it is after the twerps are worn down, but nice to see.

Braxton Clark, helmet on the ball.

Luke Reimer solid tackling form.
