Martinez can't make quick enough decision and his ball security running the option for any large period of time is going to result in a fumble.

Here we go. Half time adjustments. Zero made by our staff, opponent starts carving up the d

Nice three and out there.

Surprised them with that.

You know the fumble is coming this first series.

Tired people saying it could be worse. No this offense can't be any worse. Put Vendral or let McCaffrey use a game. We aren't winning the division.

I'll cosign on that

Good throw there

Yeah it's open every time .

How many times they going to hit us with a zone read QB keeper on 3rd and long.

Today or all season?

Been saying it for 3 weeks now. How about a series for Vendral or McCaffrey? Just see what it looks like. Martinez is goi g to get Robison or Spielman killed by the end of the season.

Can we just put this one away? NW is not good.

So frustrating.

I don't even know what it is. Doesn't seem real.

Are bad snaps counted as a stat? Seem like Jurgens has probably set a single season record 5 games in. Almost seems like it's impossible to consistently snap it bad that many times.

Yeah unfortunately they aren't there yet to take over the game. Offense just has to be semi inept.

Penalties, bad snaps, bad passes and that was only 3 plays to start the game. Feel like I have seen this one before.

To answer your question, yes we are that desperate. It wasn't too long ago that nine wins was unacceptable. Now we want to just make a bowl game and maybe win the West on a good year.

Fair points. And I hope this team does figure it out and turns it around. Unfortunately I don't think that will happen unless Martinez plays with confidence and doesn't look scared and timid out there. This team will only be as good as Martinez and the offense. And right now he / they are playing below average so that is what the team is. The defense isn't going to carry this team.

If NU plays OSU a 100 times this season, they maybe win 1. We aren't in the same universe of competing with them on their worst day. Their second string would win at a rate of > than 50%.against our 1s.

As someone who was happy Bo Pelini was let go, the dude won 9 games every year. I'd be happy to get back to winning 9 games again after realizing that winning 9 games apparently is much harder to do than I thought in the Big 10 West.

Or we could just see what Vendral or McCaffery can do if your QB1 isn't up to the task to execute the offense he was recruited her to run. Overhauling the entire offense mid season seems like the nuclear option.

Let's not make excuses for Martinez. Online is bad but he is inaccurate and indecisive when he has time. He turns the ball over multiple times every game. If he is the starter for another 2 years it's not going to get any better and we should just get used to sub 500 seasons.

Wonder if Frost is wishing he was soaking up some Florida sunshine right now.
