That last free throw rebound sequence pretty much epitomizes this season.

That accomplishes nothing

Maybe an assistant actually knows how to manage a game?  I mean, the talent is there.  They just don’t play for Tim.

According to Clouse it does not sound likely Cager will end up here. Apparently we only have one open spot for a graduate transfer and that won't happen until after spring practice and they determine what their greatest need is.

So he’ll be here Monday then?

Haha.  Me too!  

If it helps at all, I think there’s a “swaaaaannnggg” in there somewhere.  But I’m not sure. Maybe like, “da da da da da da swaaaaanggggg, da da da da da da swaaaaannngg. Da da da da da da swaaaaaaang, da da da da da swaaaaaannggg.”  

But even that that could be completely wrong. 

I’m old and out of the music loop. There’s a hype song that plays at football games and basketball games which is hip hopish and I really can’t make out enough lyrics to even run an internet search. Anybody cooler, younger people than me mind posting links to any of the hype songs you can identify in hopes I can put a song with the one that goes, “daaaaaa da da da da da da da, da da da da da da da daaaaaaaa?”

we threw the out pattern to the side line WAY too much......predictable s#!t play.

Mario has not taught AM to keep from throwing into coverage

Mario has not taught AM to throw the ball away, instead of taking sacks

slow developing plays killed the offense.....AM has much to learn

One thing I will never forget Frost saying after one of the early season games where A-Mart threw a bonehead pass, Frost said, "He made a bad decision for sure there, but Adrian is the kind of guy that, now that he's done that, won't ever do it again."  At the time I rolled my eyes a bit after watching our previous 5 QB's continue to make the same bad game decisions over and over again. But sure enough, as the season played out, Adrian DIDN'T make those same bad decisions over and over again. The kid really does learn from his mistakes. As a freshman, there are many mistakes to be made, but I guarantee he will never throw backwards toward the sideline to a receiver again, etc.. The kid is jaw droppingly mature for a senior, honestly, and he's not a senior.

Well, it was a great game to end our season. I wish we had won the game because that would have left a much better taste in our mouths but at least we tried and it took every last second for us to lose that game. So, what did I learn moving forward:

 

(1) we have not had an answer to any of our opposing team running backs all season long. That is 200% on chinander. If he can’t find a way to stop opposing running backs then he needs to find himself another job. Opposing team running backs have killed us in every game and they were the difference between us winning the game.

(2) Martinez needs to run. He is not very effective when he becomes a pocket passer for consecutive plays. He becomes a sitting target. When he runs, he keeps defenses on their toes.

(3) we are going to miss Stanley Morgan and Ozigbo next year.

(4) we would have won the game if spielman played.

(5) our defense fails to come up with crucial stops when the game is on the line. In games where they did that, we won those games. Today, if we stopped that fourth down conversion at the end of the game, we win the game.

(6) we need to recruit some good big defenders. It took four of our guys to stop Iowa running backs.

(7) the future is very bright for the Huskers. Next year, we have an excellent chance to run the table. We should have no problem winning the west division.

(8) Frost needs to make some decisions on the defense and special teams in the off season. We need more dynamic special teams play.

(9) for this first time in over a decade, I feel so hopeful and confident about the future of BIG RED football.

 

GOOOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG REEEEEEEEEEED! Go Big Red!

1) we don’t have the size or talent yet to match up with the best o-lines in the big 10. No scheme or d-cord could do any better without exposing glaring holes in other areas.  

2)yes

3) yes

4) yes 

5) D came up big in several crucial situations today, you just don’t notice the stops they did make. Can’t expect them to be 100%. Key is, don’t allow the team to get in a position where every drive in the second half is a crucial situation. 

6) see #1, you’re saying the same thing here in point 6. 

7) yes. 

8) yes

9) yes. 

GBR!

I just saw the Reed sack again today and it reminded me that we got damn lucky that the refs didn't flag that for a targeting.  Same on the Gifford sack earlier in the game.

Disagree.  His head was up, looking at the play, the helmet to helmet contact was just incidental and that is legal.

I agree with that. It was a bad PI call.....and a bad missed defensive holding call. Wouldn’t have made much more than two or three yards of difference though. 

Meh, you can hand wrestle 5 yards if the ball isnt in the air. Ticky tack fabrication of a hold even if that was the call, which it wasn’t

I agree with you, but if Ozigbo had left before this season started, it would not have bothered me, now I think he may leave the biggest hole when seniors graduate.

But he didn’t leave and that is all of the difference. 

 Scott was a safety in the NFL, if you think he doesn’t value defense I think you  would be mistaken.  I think it’s more of philosophy of, take with the game will give you.  As mentioned above, currently the rules heavily favor the offense.  Good news, Scott runs one of the best offense of scheme’s in the country,  and as such can recruit premiere athletes that want to come play in it.  Defense, no matter the scheme, just isn’t a sexy sell to anybody,  and as such I think these coaches just understand they will probably not ever get all of the best defense of players signed on.  I guarantee if you offered them a Suh, Amukamara, and Lavonte for next years team, they would not say no.  They just know they can be in the driver seat on offense, so they’re going to focus there for now.   Nobody is conceding to having a crappy defense, they are just being realistic with in the confines of Nebraska football as it currently stands.

Brohm has already recruited Kentucky very, very well during his time at Purdue. 

Sure. But the pull for Wendale to stay home was strong.  Now he can have the top two things on his list. Close to home and guaranteed featured spot in a promising offense playing for a rising coach. 

1 hour ago, Cdog923 said:

 

I could certainly see that, but it makes me wonder: if Robinson is that big of a fan of Brohm, why not commit to Purdue? Or is this an Adrian Martinez situation where the new gig is more enticing than the old gig? 

Because now Brohm is in his backyard.

I'm willing to see where Nebraska's defense is at after year 3. Well unless the defense really craps the bed next year. But as long as they improve (which should be easy enough given where they're at) I can give Chinander a chance. Doesn't mean I won't criticize him from time to time. 

They’ve improved so much this year, I don’t doubt for a second next year will be another light year leap in the right direction.

I'm very confident going into the last 2 games.  NU is trending up while Sparty and the Herkeyes are trending down.  SCOTT FROST said before the beginning of this season that NU would be playing it's best football at the end of the season, and we are seeing that come to a fruition.

Shortly after they ran out of original ideas and shame. 

But it’s pretty much fact, correct?

I disagree. Its a surprise onside and he has to pretend to actually kick it first. Its not a super easy play to pull off and honestly I would imagine the outcome that ended up happening is one of the more probable things to go wrong.

Obviously I’ve never had to try to kick one, so can’t directly speak to how easy it hard it is to pull off. That said.  I’ve seen hundreds of attempts over the years and have NEVER seen one go the way yesterday’s went. I honestly do not think getting the kick executed in a forward manner is that difficult. Now, the perfect angle and bounce? Ya, that’s a different story. 

3 minutes ago, Nebfanatic said:

I don't mean play design, I mean asking a player who has struggled at executing in games to execute a difficult and unusual play. Basically its not all Lightbornes fault he messed up an easy to mess up play. 

Yes and no. He didn’t just mess it up.  Messing it up is it going out of bounds or not making it 10 yards. He’s a scholarship kicker that didn’t even get the ball heading downfield. That’s pretty much on him. Nobody is even talking about him at all if it was just a failed onside kick. It’s the manner in which it failed that makes him culpable.

So is Frost not culpable at all?  I think you are overexaggerating my point that I'm not to the point of trusting Frosts' late game decision making and THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T THINK HE'S A GOOD COACH.  He doesn't seem to have any consistency with his play calling in these situations and this is why I don't necessarily trust his ability to do the right thing.  In the Colorado game, he needed to eat clock but went uptempo.  Can't exactly remember the Troy game, but it was the opposite.  Northwestern was a coaching  brain fart.  Today I really can't fault, it just didn't work out, but at some point even with a random coin flop, you need to do better than 0-4. 

I think you’re misunderstanding the random part of random coin flip.  I understand that in hindsight  his decisions can be criticized,  but, imo, he had method and justification for calling them exactly as he did.  Freak meltdowns by the inferior team left him on the wrong side of the coin flip each time
