The fans calling for McBride's head were probably on to something by thinking we wouldn't win a NC with McBride. McBride got help from FSU's staff which TO probably facilitated. If that didn't happen maybe we would be left pining for the championship years in the 70s. Frost needs to sort out if it's coaching, talent or both and take corrective action. I get the feeling he's reached that point.

Neither attitude is acceptable if you are a player or coach. Thank goodness we're fans. We won't beat Iowa.

I'm glad you're not on the team or coaching.

Coach, hire some consultants and recruit some dudes.

I'm thinking 21+ blowout because 1) They can 2) We're Nebraska and they're Iowa

Defense is the most lacking when a team isn't committed. Offense is fun. You get to make plays, score TD's and have the crowd cheer for you. Maybe that blitzing LB might be unappealing to block. Defense is different. You have to want to shed blocks and throw your body in front of a WR or heaven forbid a RB to make a tackle. My gosh, you might get hurt.

I was afraid he might get discouraged so good to see. It sounds like Mills figured out some things so those two could be something to build around next year.

Exactly the problem. They need to want to win. They can win, but they won't.

You can boot players for rule violations and it's a bad look if you let things slide. I suppose it's possible there isn't a team rule that says you have to play if available. I mean it's kind of simple, the school gives you a scholarship in exchange for playing football so maybe not playing because you don't feel like it doesn't violate a team rule since it's common sense.

We're not going to beat Iowa. If you don't believe me turn on the TV and watch them handle Minny.

I doubt we presented enough of a challenge for them to get excited about. The novelty of blowing out Nebraska wore out a few years ago. It was just another game they had to play.

Not really. I meant for this year. A few years ago Houston took the prize when their star DL chose not to play one game and argued with his HC on the sideline during the game. At least he was a high NFL pick. We also had to boot a senior off the team with 3 games left. It seems like we still have a lot of work left to get the locker room fixed. This senior class has probably lost the most games in program history so graduation might help. Our trainers seem very cautious with injuries so if they said Carlos was OK to play but chose not to then the coaches need to confront him. Pulling Carlos's scholarship and giving him the boot might seem petty but is probably the right thing to do. Frost needs to get control of the team.

We're one of the most dysfunctional teams in CFB.

KO returned for TD, INT, defense still squishy soft. Sounds like I didn't miss anything.

I read it and thought it was OK. No cheap shots and I believe it accurately portrayed how most fans feel. We are on the edge of becoming the Somalia of CFB- a failed program. It's almost unbelievable how inept management got us to this point. Hopefully Frost can turn things around.

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a player make a half a$$ attempt at a block or worse turn a blind eye to a defender, proceed to jog downfield and then our QB or RB gets splattered. It's one thing to give low effort (which will happen often Saturday) but when it directly leads to someone getting pounded that's definitely not playing for your brothers. Wandale, stay safe.

This was exactly my thought. Wisconsin is so much tougher and I've seen our guys stand around watching their teammates get pounded rather than block someone. Stay safe Wandale and sit this one out.

That's the essence of Nebraska football. Something we haven't seen enough of for a long time.

Easy money

14% https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401112244 2% seems more accurate. The only reason to watch this game is the possibility of seeing some freshmen play. Maryland may have quit even more than our team. Might be a win there if it isn't too difficult.

No I can't. Looks like 3/4 effort.

I think this is the most noticeable difference between us and Minny right now.

It's sad that we're already being fed obvious BS so soon into the Frost era to explain away poor performance. Enough of the excuses.

He makes a good case for Dirk being obsessed with Bo. The notion that Bo was always looking for a new job seems like it has become common knowledge. It would be scary if it was mostly fiction created by Dirk.
