I just don't think it has sunk in yet to Scott it's 2020, not 1997.  You're players weren't born yet when Nebraska was relevant. Stop trying to inflict the team with "this is how we do it at Nebraska". Be your own man and have fun out there. No one looks like they are having fun out there. The lineman can't get the snap count right for some reason or they can't do what they are being coached to do....Block somebody.  I'm a Frost supporter but my gosh, things should be better in year 3, not because the fans say so it's because it's now your players, your team and they don't look very inspired. I haven't heard any players say they would go to battle with frost. 

It seems we have plenty of places that need improvement, so Frost tells recruits you will compete for the open jobs and when they get here they stand on the sidelines.  Our offense really doesn't look very complex to anyone does it? It's not like a bunch of motion or anything. Frost came here and said he would play young guys with no fear of failure. I see a lot of failure on the field because the 3 basic plays we keep running aren't allowing anyone to succeed.  

It's way past time to get rid of the 3-4 defense experiment.  Hell I'd rather see a 5-2 front as leaky as we are against the run.

Frost said big 10 teams would have to adapt to our style of offense. Well that took about 5 minutes. We have no fricking idea what we are trying to do. Might as well line up in the I formation and run the ball 45 times, throw a couple of passes to the tight end and call it a day cause this trying to be cute and make a big splash plays ain't working. 

Frost still fails to put the most talented players on the field. Where was Betts today?  what happened to you let the guys play hard and don't mind the mistakes if they play hard. Frost is living in the 90's where you can't play the young guys cause they don't know the system. He didn't coach that way at UCF. Today's players either get on the field or they transfer. 

The list of excuses gets smaller every week.

this offense is a turnover machine.  Effort is so troubling. Defense never stopped Illinois today (yes Illinois).

Probably mentioned already but the play calling is a bigger problem than who is the QB. Every week we run up and down the field on our scripted plays and then the rest of the game it's like what should we do now.  It surprises me that an offensive mindset of Frost and Lubick basically get shut out in the second half of games.

I see we have tight end who is probably tall enough to catch a pass in the end zone. Maybe do something like that in the red zone instead of having QB run into a wall on 3 straight plays hoping he can break free.

Every week we hear we have to do better at this or that.  Instead of talk, get out there and win a game.  

Really hard to predict since Covid is lurking around.  Teams lose a few key players and season is over.

Sports illustrated is still around huh. 

so the hotmic is not as accurate as the aquarium guy?

could they at least voted or whatever the hell they did before they agreed on a schedule.

Hopefully, this get's squared away. Kicking game with no abilities to kick field goals and short crappy kickoffs probably kept us from going bowling last year. 

Bengals better turn it around or the whole staff will be jobless. 

I never want to see that play inside either ours or the opponents 10 yd line.

We need some more talent at tight end. Every time they caught the ball they fell down. 

Some of those guys were horrible blockers on the perimeter.

Finally, it looked as the season wore on we were way too predictable, but that's probably cause most of our weapons were injured. 

Good for KC, but Niners another team that goes away from what got them there. After second Mahomes pick, and niners up by 10, they gain 8 yds rushing and then decide to throw the ball. We see it all the time. I don't get it.

Well we can once again marvel at what a great coach he is right Eichorst?

I just hope John Cook has a chance to pick his brain this time.

I'm thinking having Maurice Washington absent was a big deal. We had no depth at running back and to have a guy you were depending on to be your star turned out to be a dork, the offense suffered.

Love watching Tmart running wild against Big8/Big12 defenses. They still don't play defense in that league like they do in the Big 10. That's why you can hardly compare NU teams in the 80's or 90's when they played about 3 good opponents each year.

What did we learn? That a game like this frustrates the hell out of me. Had the Huskers played for each other all season long the way they did Saturday we would have 7 or 8 wins.

I thought Nebraska actually played with good effort today. Haven't seen that in weeks.
