In my opinion, flipping the script from 4-8 to 8-4 would be a successful season. I do think depth is now our biggest issue, so it would not surprise me to see them bowl eligible by the end of the day Oct. 12 but then close with some tough losses to still finish 8-4.

People forget that Coach Osborne has a PhD is psychology. His substitution of London for Frost May have been motivated more to settle Frost down or motivate him, or take a series to coach his starter up and less to “spark the team” or create a QB controversy that could have divided the team. There is no “control universe” to tell us what would have happened to Frost or the team if he had Frost sitting longer, but I have no doubt that Osborne knew exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. Kudos to him for not letting the fans take over his Head Coach responsibilities in that situation.

Something tells me in an actual game this MIGHT have been a holding call.

A look from the Wisconsin side of the field at their 10th game opponent: Nebraska Cornhuskers https://badgerofhonor.com/2019/08/12/badger-of-honor-writers-predict-wisconsin-football-2019-schedule/10/ In other news, Wisconsin seems to be opening the season (in two weeks) a bit thin at TE:

LOL

It is probably a little early to say. You have to have players conditioned and understanding the whole offense and firing on all cylinders with your bread & butter, before you can afford to even start thinking you can execute a trick play on demand.

I think I trust Scott Frost's offensive mind to come up with the time and place (and plays) for getting McCaffrey on the field - than I do some of the off-the-wall ideas from this thread's contributors.

Good one! See also: https://footballtoolbox.net/using-your-best-athletes-multi-qb-offense

Sounds a lot like the Osborne years. Some of those plays are Classics of Cornhusker football.

With Frost's comments about "McCaffrey making plays with his legs" and wishing his QB group was "in a 4x1 relay competition", a comment in The Athletic article "Ranking Nebraska's offensive position groups: No. 1 may be a gimme, but there's guesswork at another key spot" raised an intriguing possibility when, under "QBs > Best Case Scenario:" it finished with Wow. If Frost's offense isn't already keeping Defensive Coordinators up at night, imagine the potential defensive confusion with Martinez under center and McCaffrey coming in motion when the ball is snapped. I can see the possibility for not only nifty gadget plays that take advantage of unaccounted-for players, but also pulling this out when you are in a crucial situation and you want to force the other team to burn a time out. With McCaffrey a freshman, I'm sure that they will want to keep a 4 game redshirt year possibility open for him but, even so, it is fun to imagine Frost pulling out such a thing in the Wisconsin and Iowa games (2 of the last 4 games of the season - that could have a lot riding on them).

Despite the insightful commentary, the only thing that would have been a better look today would be for them to be holding assault rifles with bump stocks.

I'm sure I will take flack for it, but I'm pretty sure that black men in chains (and only black men in chains) is not a good look. Gold chains, sure. But seriously, you couldn't have put them on ONE white guy in the photo? I'm both a photographer and a marketing guy and this is Not Good.
