The decision to retain frost may kill the sellout streak. Honestly that's the only issue I would have if it happened. I thought frost should have been gone last year but I can't get too upset about how Alberts handled it. I mean he went middle of the road and there were probably more reasons than we know.

Yeah that's bs. As a college professor teaching mostly pre nursing students, I don't temper my expectations for 20 year olds. I try to elevate theirs. These young adults today are capable of so much more than they realize. They've just been coddled up to this point.

So 6 at large sec big10 teams?...

It's not ridiculous at all. It's a testament to how frost teams have continued to fold time and again after a big swing in the second half of a game. Option 3 didn't exist because I was pointing out that the 60% stat doesn't apply equally to every situation where you have the lead. That's because you can't just say we have the lead so we should try this 60% play. The situation was poor. Keep the momentum and make northwestern drive the field and climb back into the game. Even if you succeed and drive for another score, is 18 enough? Northwestern obviously plays differently at that point so who knows. Personally I just think the risk wasn't worth the gain based on what was happening to that point in the game. The numbers only tell part of the story.

The problem with stats is they really don't tell the whole story. You may have a 60% chance to recover the kick but the mentally weak Scott Frost era teams won't recover from that kind of failure. Here's how I look at it. Which would you be more comfortable betting your house on? 1) they recover the kick and go on to win 2) they don't recover and go on to lose I know which one I'm betting on.

Frost chooses to not have a dedicated special teams coach. All 3 losses have special teams disasters....

Ask him about the special teams coach!

See when I drink, I buy stupid stuff on ebay for no good reason.

I'd actually be okay firing frost mid-season just to find out how much of a negative impact he's having on the offense. That drive to take the lead was beautiful. Maybe chinander could cure the false starts of he were allowed to get in there. I don't know. This team just consistently gives games away.

The defense has turned the corner and has become a championship caliber defense. Unfortunately the special teams are pee wee and the offense is afraid to fail.

The defense can fly home...

Of course

Oh no way we should have left time to have to punt again but you can try a deep toss...then again...we did just witness another collapse to give away a win.

Playing not to lose

Okay. 4 down territory in OT.

They should punt. We'll probably fumble it. That's their best bet.

Holy crap they tackled our dline

Imif it goes to ot, we need to go 4 downs. I will lose my mind if we lose trading field goals

That's why we should have been trying to score last drive.

Ok fine...burn clock or score...but do one! Snapping it with 13 seconds is unacceptable....well damn

More up the middle...sigh

6 minute drive ending in a connor culp 28 yard field goal to ice it...wait no it would get blocked and returned....let's just do a 7 minute drive and keep them out there past the end of the clock just to be safe.

So nice to have a defense again

Nelson getting in there.

Hey look at that.. special teams...
