Huge defensive drive here.

Fullback time!!!

Frost this should’ve been inserted year 1. Wtf.

That diamond backfield is dangerous because it’s like a quadruple option set.

I just don’t see our WRs blocking when we run plays to the edge…

We are up and we are getting the calls. Please don’t blow this!

Is our PA announcer doing defensive 3rd down’s different? He holds that tone for a long time.

This gets ask 100s of times every game. Fans know there is a university website that lists every member of the staff, right?

He just started showing up last week.

Can’t touch the ref, otherwise there is no flag.

Is Goodson 17 years old?

Our QBs must be taught to go through all their deep progressions first, then go through the deep progressions again, then go through deep progressions again, before ever checking down or just taking off to run.

Have we figured out the guy in shades by Frost is?

Need the OLine to play mean now.

Our guys sorta look pissed. Like they are ready to finally win.

Great punt coverage!

That’s your 2nd down play, not 3rd….

Wow the big ten refs called it our way!! Now a 99 yard drive for points would be huge.

Energy in that stadium is just impressive for a 3-8 team! GBR

Iowa will over power us

Smothers May throw an INT or two this game, but this offense seems to flow so much better without Martinez

A few guys like you will be really ticked off.  Most of us will not be surprised or even disappointed.  Scott either gets it together next year or not.   

Ticked off with frustration that they kept rolling Martinez out there and didn't invest and try and get Smothers out there sooner?

If Smothers and Nebraska win on Friday vs Iowa, what does that say for Martinez? What does that mean for next year? What will this fan base do or say if Martinez returns next year and is named the starter?

Man...you really dislike Martinez.

 

Friday is your day, BoNeyard!

Worst quarterback in Nebraska football history.

Just think, if we lose on Friday, we will not only carry 5 straight losing seasons into our opener next year, but also 6 consecutive losses.  Futility U we are fast becoming.  Correction, 6 "close" consecutive losses.

 

While the major boosters may keep it going, the sellout streak in terms of bodies in seats, will effectively end in non-conference play next year.  

For the sellout streak next year's season opener in Ireland vs Northwestern is enormous. We all know we are going to get a good serving size of kool-aid this off season from the local media and all, but if Nebraska wins the Northwestern game it will look like we had turned the corner. The excitement for Nebraska football will be back for the time being and with North Dakota and Georgia Southern starting off the home openers, a 3-0 start with Oklahoma coming to town will be huge. Lose to Northwestern in Ireland and the streak is over no later than that Georgia Southern game. 

Feeling the whole Martinez playing hurt and being a warrior wanting to play through it is a PR move. Great, glad you have that mindset, glad you're willing to go out there and keep playing through it to try and help your team, but at some point you being out there injured begins to hurt the team because you aren't able to go 100%, and that entire decision is on the coaches shoulders. This feels like a move to save whatever face is left for Martinez's 4 years of a starting quarterback to bring him back next year for his 5th year.

How must it feel for Smothers and the other QB's to know you are not good enough to go onto the field to take over for a guy who has the most losses in starting QB history at Nebraska, has a broken jaw, bad knee, and a bad shoulder. If that isn't motivation to either get better or transfer, I don't know what is.
