    It was his first start and he had a good first half. Second half different story. They figured out he can't pass, have no wide receivers, our O-Line can't block, either Luke is going to run or Wandell is. Pick one. 

    I don't know if Luke starts the next game, but Frost has to give him more options. jmo

     

    GBR!!!

    You really believe he can't pass ?  Really ?  Give the kid some time, you might be surprised.

    He needs to yell at them. Maybe he does. Particularly the stupid penalty people. I think he needs to cut them down and build them up. He seems like a cry baby and prima Donna at times.  He could use a little Mike Gundy. 
     

    When I was playing ball if you screwed up and got called for penalties you were doing push ups and running...lots and lots of running.

    Welp, if I'm Frost, this week's practices will consist primarily of the number one offense lined up against the number one defense starting at the 20 yard line, and being told to score. And I'm doing that over and over and over until I figure out the plays that get us into the end zone against a defense with a pulse. One more thing. What the heck happened to the qb sneak???? Several times I yelled at the tv when the qb lined up in shotgun with one yard to gain for the first down. QB SNEAK! Why make that more difficult than it should be? 

    I'm with you on the QB sneak, Frost is to hard headed to see and admit to the value.

    My biggest concern is inside linebacker and WR. At ILB Miller has been below average for two seasons and we haven’t been great as a whole why are we married to this guy. WR is even more confusing considering we have an offensive minded coach maybe their route running is polished but shouldn’t we be able to get them on the field and find a way to use their athleticism without over complicating the game. We want to develop players for the scheme and the most resilient coaches these days adjust to their talent 

    Sticking with Miller will be as painful as sticking with Mo Barry.

    I would love to see a game against a Top 10 team where Nebraska does the following:

     

    1) not turn the ball over 

    2) 5 or less penalties

    3) Stop the opposing team 90% of the time when defending a 3rd and plus 10 yards.

     

    Nebraska does those three SIMPLE things and Nebraska will stop losing games by over 30 points every year. 
     

    until then, well I think we all know what will continue to happen. 

    Right on

    JD took a lot of hard shots for us and stayed on the field, making plays. His toughness is the last thing anyone should question.

    Maybe he's just not that good.

    This is indirectly a Nebraska post as I think Gale Sayers is the greatest recruit who slipped through our fingers. He was a star RB in Omaha.  He was committed to the Huskers and then at the last minute switched to Kansas.

    I wonder what the BobFather could have accomplished with him on the field.  Maybe an earlier national championship :dunno- not an unreasonable thought.  Sayers could dominate games like few others - both in college and the pros.   I believe that if he had not had his knee injuries in the NFL and was able to continue his career,  I think we would still be thinking of him as the NFL's all time greatest RB.  He was art in motion.

     

    Well, Mr Sayers passed away today at age 77.  He had been living wt dementia for the past 5 years.   Those of us who were blessed to see him run (I was a pre-teener then but I still remember) were fortunate.   Of course, many remember his story/friendship with Brian Piccolo - the other rookie Chicago Bear RB as shown in the movie Brian's Song.  After watching the movie for the first time as a young high schooler, I went into the bathroom a lone and cried alligator tears - first movie that affected me this way - and still does today.   

     

     

    The day Gale Sayers burned Nebraska on a 99 yard run:
