The argument is that NU should be able to shut Iowa down. This is a very down year for Iowa offensively. If Chin is your guy, he’s your guy. I think NU could do better.

They should be below the numbers. It’s IOWA!!! Ferentz IOWA. If NU would have attacked instead of sitting in their useless zone on 3rd and long, we might have won. Below the numbers? Let’s start with Iowa had 10 more minutes of possession. This is the telling number...other than the scoreboard. History tells us 285 rushing verse Illinois 245/256 Penn State 224 rushing OSU 225 rushing Iowa 2019 320 rushing Wisconsin 2019 300 passing Purdue 355 passing Indiana 322 rushing Minnesota 368 rushing OSU I’d like the numbers to go down. I’d like the Points Against to go down. Take away what their good at. Bring some pressure. Wrap up on tackling. Play your assignment.. Since some believe he will amazingly turn it around, why can’t we have a co-coordinator? Are you happy with the product? Do you think the way he runs the scheme is going to get NU over the hump? I don’t. I have said it since day one. I hear give it more time but the proof is in the pudding. At some point Frost will have to say goodbye or he goes out tied to him. I will expect more of the same until something changes. I want him to succeed. I want his defense to dominate. NOTHING tells me he will turn it around.

As for the execution of Frost’s defensive staff, I’m in favor of it. The argument that the team has to be ahead for Chin’s D to work is ignorant. I agree with Rob Zatechka that Chin doesn’t understand the intricacies of running the 3-4. I was hoping NU was getting an attacking 3-4. Instead they got a defense that can’t stop the run or the pass. ZERO pressure. If there was one game to attack, it was Iowa. You can give Chin more time but don’t expect a different result. He isn’t Dom Capers. Florida was right saying Frost couldn’t bring him. They should try some dual coordinators to spice things up. What would it hurt?

Doctalk with Rob Zatechka gave his opinion of Chin. A good listen. Chin doesn’t understand the intricacies of the 3-4 and how to attack with it.

#44 could be replaced by a tree. can someone fix the center snaps?

3rd and Chin...

I guess NU’s not going to suddenly play a 5-2. No sense trying to stop the run.

3rd and Chin again and again and...

Can NU run a cross route? It works well with Iowa.

WR screen time...

Somehow I doubt he comes up with a 5 man front. It would be nice though.

If you are trying to say Chin’s defense sucked at UCF and sucks now...I agree. It is why I was against the hire from the beginning. He’s constantly bad. Yards don’t matter and points apparently don’t either. Was the plan to play surrender defense and hopefully Frost outguns them with speed? This is the Big 10. NU needs a stout a defense. NU needs big time coordinators on both sides of the ball. I can’t see why anyone has faith that he is going to build a top 20 defense. NU is 13th against the run in the league. Let’s see what he does this week.

The same defense that gave up 500 yards in the win. Defend away, sport.

I am interested if Frost can identify the shortcomings (recruit-development, Chin, play calling duties...) and make correct changes to them. If he cannot, he will go the way of Callahan. He better get grade “A” upgrades with experience at doing the job. I hope he doesn’t double down on doing the job his way regardless of production and loyal to the point of fault. Recruiting will go in the toilet with more crap games/seasons.

Just wondering if you are still seeing "improvement"? No wait...noticeable improvement? Asking for a friend.

cosgrove part 2. how much time does this guy need? I’m not 100% I’d trust Frost pick the DC.

Didn’t read the comments.

The cardboard cutouts are so disgusted they are leaving the stadium.

Chinander

LSU might make him available before season end.

Defense looks weak. Looks like another clunker.

Luke needs to switch the ball to the other hand before going out of bounds. I’ve never been so excited to see NU beat an 0-3 team. There has to a DE better than #44 in the Juco ranks.

Yeah but they are not imposing their will on a constant basis and blowing people up. Today the Skers hurt my wallet.

I wish Frost would use more power running game plays to compliment the passing.
