O O O x O O O O O O O There's your formation. Go with it. Hide the wienie.

OL is just straight awful but I have never been a fan of the name Greg Austin as a player or coach. but the problem really relies with being able to FIT with Frost. He won’t hire anyone that will yell at the players. I’m sorry but if yelling at players and getting fired up at them is wrong then Alabama should be awful every year

I honestly felt he was the best passer of the bunch mechanically last spring during coaches clinic. As he develops I really think he will be VERY special.

These kids want to play. It’s a new generation. That’s why you’ll never see a real striving walk on program like we used to. These kids should be going to UNK. Go Lopes!

Polo? Is that you?!

You are part of the problem. Being a realist isn’t pessimistic.

Drink all the kool aid you want. Wisconsin beats us by 3-4 scores. Ive gotten into the mindset that if you just blatantly sunshine pump and blow smoke up peoples butt all the time it works the same way as being negative with kids. Being a realist is the only way to live in life.

Heck no. Stripes are stupid

Crazy memory.

Then why are you posting if you don’t care? Seems like a silly thing to do and a complete waste of time. For the record I even said that “beg” was my word choice. Yet you still got defensive and threw a hissy. Wahhh!

Yea except based on where the program is thought it SHOULD be...Should we really beg (my word) for 7-6 to be included just so we can add 15-20 more wins or so to an awful statistic? If we do....then that's more telling of where the program is than the stat alone.

Exactly. A team that was 5-7 a year ago.

Maybe its just me but when I watch other games of other schools they always seem to be playing super hard, and I haven't gotten a feeling of a Nebraska team playing crazy hard for some time. Also, am I naive to think that QB's that play NU always have hay day's? I swear Montez will play like dog poo next week. You watch...

FWIW Nick Saban has 29 wins over schools that finished with 10 wins or more as the Alabama head coach. Nebraska has only 26 wins over schools that finish with a much lower win percentage and we also had a 6 year head start....

The Curse of Black Friday was brought up in another thread and prompted me to go back all the way to 2001 after that awful, pitiful, and miserable game. Since that day..... Nebraska is.... 26-68 ....against POWER 5 schools that have finished with a 57% (7-5) win percentage or better in a given year. Probably worth noting that there are a handful of games Nebraska has won vs teams that finished 7-6 but when push comes to shove, there's not enough of them to change that awful record by much. It's easy to know that it shouldn't be good considering how underwhelming Nebraska has been for a long long time but I like putting stats to things. Notable Wins (9 wins) (vs teams that finished 9 wins or better) INCLUDED in the win column listed above 2006 - Texas AM (9-4) 28-27 2007 - Wake Forest (9-4) 20-17 2010 - Oklahoma State (11-2) 51-41 2010 - Missouri (10-3) 31-17 2011 - Michigan St (11-3) 24-3 2011 - Penn State (9-4) 17-14 2012 - Northwestern (10-3) 29-28 2015 - Michigan State (12-2) 39-38 2016 - Minnesota (9-4) 24-17 Notable Losses (19 losses) (vs teams that were less than or equal to 56% win percentage or a non power 5 team) NOT INCLUDED IN THE LOSS COLUMN ABOVE 2002 - Iowa State (7-7) 36-14 2004 - Southern Miss (7-5) 21-17 2004 - Kansas St (4-7) 45-21 2007 - Oklahoma St (7-6) 45-14 2007 - Texas AM (7-6) 36-14 2007 - Colorado (6-7) 65-51 2009 - Iowa State (7-6) 9-7 2010 - Texas (5-7) 20-13 *Red out against the world* sigh 2010 - Washington (7-6) 19-7 2011 - Northwestern (6-7) 28-25 2015 - BYU (9-4) 33-28 2015 - Illinois (5-7) 14-13 2015 - Purdue (2-10) 55-45 2017 - Oregon (7-6) 42-35 2017 - No Illinois (8-5) 21-17 2017 - Minnesota (5-7) 54-21 2018 - Colorado (5-7) 33-28 2018 - Troy (10-3) 24-19 2018 - Purdue (6-7) 42-28 These are your sobering facts for the night. The Curse is real. We are the Chicago Cubs of College Football

I did a stat thing long ago when Pelini was coach about what Nebraska’s record was against teams that lose 5 games or less in a given year. It was ATTROCIOUS! it would obviously be even worse now.

An identity like Wisconsin. Who took it from us. No more hybrid. You’re either downhill or a space team. Doesn’t matter by formation but you can’t teach both. It’s just so counter productive.

this could be the worst OL in the history of football. There is my bad take for the night. Though I’m afraid it’s not wrong.

Even though I expected better. Northwestern did lose to Akron last year and win the West.

Very underwhelming performance. Not what I expected in a year 2 game from Frost

Well isn’t this convenient. Natty champs 2019!

Can we just agree that is it is extremism no matter which side (Antifa or Supremacy), is awful for progress of our country. Failure to think so, you might want to look in the mirror.

Don't some of you think that maybe Oklahoma wasn't very fond of the Nebraska rivalry because they were so bad in the 90's compared to NU. I feel like that played a part but I also don't know anything.

When I was in High School my brother lived in Loveland. We were there for thanksgiving, we lost the black friday game, and the next morning we found our vehicle was covered in eggs. We assume it was the Nebraska plates. When I went to the Oregon/CU game in 2013, the Colorado fans had only asked us (Oregon) to not win by 50.
