UCF’s defense seems to struggle mightily against a similar high octane passing attack, which they would see every day in practice. How do they fare against the smash mouth offenses more common in the Big Ten?

 That is why am willing to stay patient. There is a difference in styles of the two. How you align and attack is different between what Memphis runs and what a Wisconsin/Iowa runs. 

Still way to much given up by UCF in the first half, yuck!!! 

From what has been gathered so far, secondary, defensive line and tightend are needed? 

Bruce Feldman

SOURCE: #Nebraska AD calling recruits and telling them Scott Frost has 90% of his staff in place, and they will be pleased.

UCF’s safeties struggled last week and continuing that this weekend. 

Twice UCF has thrown a pick around the end zone. 

UCF are Memphis are No. 1 and No. 2 in country in scoring offense.  With that said, way too many broken coverages in the secondary for both teams.

The one thing I have to say about Central Florida’s defense, we do not face very many offenses that play this type of style. Maybe a Purdue or Indiana type but not very many others.  So I’m willing to be patient and see how things look in the B1G.

Not to mention, it’s not always on the coaches but also the players to perform. Sometimes you can see fundamentals and effort lacking but other times players just need to make the play. 

Break down in coverage sometimes is as much on the player than the coaches.

Frankly we can cry about him being the defensive coordinator but regardless if we like it or not, he is likely coming.

Just got owned up front there defensively. 

Big plays will happen but with that said the aggressiveness of the UCF defense is very apparent. 

17-7 UCF

17-7 UCF

Oh the points!!! 

10-0 UCF

Oh that is what a fast, aggressive and active defense looks like! 

Solich walked into a very good situation. The rest not so much but Riley probably had it the next best imo. 

Our situation is not good right now but we could also see a fairly drastic turn around next year just purely off of fundamentals and for sure effort/intensity. 

I thought Duval did a good job for Bohl at Wyoming before heading to UCF with Frost. 

At Wyoming he had his work cut out for him transforming the team from a finesse roster due to Dave Christiansen’s style.  Of course Bohl wants them physical. 

Who was the coach responsible for the state of Missouri back in the 90’s?  We sure landed a lot of quality talent from there. 

Heck it would be nice to know where much of the staff recruited? 

Would one think Lubick would coach WR’s as well or just hold the OC title?  Makes a difference if we keep K. Williams or not.

Word is Matt Lubick will be the OC. Was at Oregon as well sand son of Sonny Lubick.  Also has been a WR coach.

Lubick is currently the Co-OC/WR Coach as Washington.  Was the Passing Game Coordinator/WR coach at Oregon when Frost was there then took over as OC after Frost left.  Makes a lot of sense.  Would be a direct transfer of duties from Walters.

Lubick would be a good hire.  He has pretty much mirrored Frost up until when Frost left for UCF.  He's done well for himself at Washington and would be a good fit with the rest of the rumored staff joining Frost in Lincoln. 

I 100% feel Frost is N but not going to stop some FSU fans and media being pains about Frost.  Tomorrow can’t get here quick enough!

I think the star rankings are a tad overrated, but it's no coincidence these teams that harbor all these guys are also near or at the top of college football.   

Wisconsin is an outlier in so many ways.  Their brand of football takes physicality to the extreme.  That's not to say they don't have athletes.  Quite the contrary, but they don't need an all-world QB to succeed.  Physical, aggressive, fundamental football is their game.  They play defense like we use too.

I do think one way Nebraska can regain a lot of the glory is at the QB position.  A guy that can help your team in so many different ways can be a great neutralizer.   A great QB can cover up for a lot of deficiencies.  

The uncertainty surrounding UCF, FSU, and up until a few days ago, Florida, should leave quite a few Floridians up in the air when it comes to their recruitment.   This could be good for Nebraska.  Frost has a relationship with many of these guys and they may be more apt to listen and entertain a Nebraska scholarship compared to a UCF one. 

If I were Frost, I would go down into Kansas and try to pry away two QB's in Norton's 4-star signal caller in Jace Ruder, who is verbal committed to UNC,  and also grab back Terry Wilson from Garden City CC. Those two would be huge building blocks at QB going forward. 

Hehe the end is near... we will be in a Frost Advisory by Saturday! 

I think it would be a no-brainer for us to bring in Wilson. His prior connections to Nebraska, ending up with Frost at Oregon and of course his overall fit for the offense Frost runs.  

Was the Jayhawk Conference Offensive POTY at Garden City CC this year.
