We have a LOT more to play for and it's at home.  I think we beat Iowa and win in our bowl game against a mediocre opponent.  Going into the off-season with a winning record would sure be nice.

Mediocre opponent? We literally are the mediocre opponent, and no we don't have lots to play for.

I'm glad we played a game that looked like we were working out some of our kinks but Iowa is no Maryland, they can and will throw against us and expose our secondary... I hope I'm wrong but doubt it...  PS...  Im not a bad fan, I will be in Lincoln bright and early Friday morning and rooting hard for our beloved HUSKER.... GBR...!    #reality

Your worry about everything that has happened this year is the secondary? Like seriously?

I mean we've put up 493 and 518 yards on Wisconsin the past two years. They've done a good job preventing points, so it really comes down to whether they can keep that up. I can buy that some of that is due to a good defense making stops when they need to, but they won't continue to keep 500 yards in the 21-24 point range. And we did that with an offense which you point out hasn't been great this year.

Not great?  it's statistically the worst in 16 years, it's literally horrible

We converted 4 times on 3rd and 7 plus on outside zone reads against the 5th best rushing/3rd down efficiency defense in the nation. We had inferior talent in this one compared to them at basically every spot but QB and one WR spot. It’s clear where the offense is going and it won’t be stopped by a regional power that’s failed on the national stage like Wisconsin. 

Lol that's a pretty big assertion for the worst offense since 2004

If Adrian can keep getting back to himself these last two games and our defense can find a way to get some stops we could have a decent chance at a bowl. Man we need that to happen. 

What's himself? Which is the normal and which is low probability?

Asks for the facts, ignores them when they don't support his narrative.

Who cares? Clemson and Bama have multiple 5 and 4 star guys a stones throw away. We aren't going to ever be right with them in any of these sort of rankings.   Moos meant we are doing. Bama wanted Robinson and Pola Gates but we got them. Clemson wanted Jimmy Fritze(sp.) We got him.

You just put some arbitrary numbers a website is giving out, because we sure don't before like the classes we bring in.  Secondly you arguing against that exact same website in this thread bro.  Again the actual games talk.

I don't give a s#!t how 247 ranks our coaches as recruiters. That is the most cherry picked data I can think of. Look at the incoming talent, thats all you need to do.

I look at the talent on the field he's brought in, you got maybe 2 guys on the field that could hold there own on Bos teams. A safety and a hybrid running back.  You keep worrying about your 100ths points of a ranking. I'll actually watch the football.

For me I would feel better if Frost thought he had a 6-6 team- but if he felt like they would be a dangerous team preseason I would be concerned about his ability to have an understanding of what talent we do or do not have. 

I'm concerned about his in game situational awareness which has cost us those 3 games

People also overlook that the big ten as a whole has gotten better as well.  Michigan, Iowa, Purdue, Penn st, Indiana, MN are all better than they were through much of bos tenure. NW, Illinois Mich St are probably level. Throw in the bottom feeders of Rutgers.  9 wins in the current big 10 is a far cry from the cake walk bos teams had to face.  We are going through some growing pains now but have no doubt SF is the right man.  

So he wouldn't have won as many games as he was winning? I find that hard to believe, and his team's were getting better, and his defense was finally changed over to what was needed in the big 10.  Discounting Bos wins is just ridiculous fodder.  Purdue is 3 and 6.  Iowa? Lol those Iowa teams were good, it's almost like one of them didn't lose until the title game.  Get out of here with your conjecture with no basis of anything.

Ill give you he was a lil lazy recruiting wise.  Im not saying Bo was the next T.O. or anything, but what i am saying is that he was a good football coach.  He also recruits better if the admin and media wouldnt have chopped him down from the knees.  His players loved him.  

 

Also, he didnt inherit anything great.  He inherited a similarly weak culture as Scott did...more talent yes, but a weak culture.  And i think he had pretty bad assistants in the latter half of his career here.

I don’t really care for dirk as I don’t think he’s all that great a writer but writes hella clickbait for headlines and summaries.  That being said, I’ve seen over the past few days comparisons to SF to bo or wondering the great things that could be if he’d just return as def coordinator.

 

all I got to say is time must make the heart grow fonder.  Bos def was great with Callahan recruits bit as he got “his” players in his defense was simply avg to below.  Don’t recall the exact stats but the majority of defensive meltdowns came under his tenure as a defensive genius.  Let’s forget all the blowouts to oh st, Michigan, and Wisconsin.  Yr after yr he was closer to 7 wins than he was to 10 or 11.  I’m convinced with no superstar returning in ‘14 his magical run of 9 wins each yr was coming an end.  Bo has as much to do with the current state of athleticism on the football team as does MR.  

 

you all all want a guy that has just been rumored to get canned at YSU, a more fitting level for him, to come back to NU.  No thank you.  Our def is doing just fine allowing major rushing yds without allowing that clown back.  Bo is and always will be a below avg HC, avg dc, and above position coach.  All that with an ego and attitude I wouldn’t want my worst enemy around.

Michigan?

No, YOU say I am saying that.  I know what I'm saying.

 

Like I said before:  I am in with the guy. 

But we've all heard "we're gonna fix it," and "it's on us," from now FOUR DIFFERENT COACHING STAFFS.

 

Bill Callahan:

“The bottom line is we need to make tackles. We need to make plays. That’s football and that’s life.  We have got to get better. We have to find a way to get better. It’s frustrating. We found ways to come back in this game and it still slipped away.  I’m taking it one game at a time. We will assess where we are after we watch game film. We are going to keep marching on. We make no excuses, none whatsoever. I take total accountability for what has happened.  We are going to keep working, keep pounding the rock. We are persistent and insistent on our philosophy we have tried to ingrain. We are going to keep pounding the rock."

Bo Pelini:
“Like I said all along, there's character in the room, we have to play smarter. We're not about moral victories. Nebraska never will be as long as I'm head coach. If we start being about moral victories, you need to get a new coach.  (This game) doesn't change what we have to do. We've got to go back to work. I told them one thing; this shows us is the potential we have as a football team. You can't get too high or too low, you've got to just go. This doesn't change what we've got to do tomorrow or the next game. We've got to keep progressing as a football team. You put in the hard work, you practice well, you learn the game plan, you do some things and execute.”

Mike Riley:

"When I go to bed tonight, I'll be hoping for that, because I would love to do this. I truly believe I'm exactly the right person to do this. The football parts, I've been doing it so long, we know how to fix, and we also are doing a good job recruiting."

 

Scott Frost:

"We had a long talk just that we all need to get better: coaches, players, everybody needs to get better," Frost said. "You know, the thing that I know how to do as a coach to keep moving it forward is just work harder. Keep practicing harder, keep trying to get guys better. And I told them that I think the last two games are games that we easily could have won, and we didn't for a lot of reasons and  there's stuff we can all do better. And the guys are hurting right now."

 

Don't know about you, but after you've heard the same thing over and over and over for over 15 years now....you get kinda tired of it.

Don't give me coach speak.  Give me results.  If you're willing to do what it takes to win, show me.  Because there have been two football coaches fired for on the field performance (Banker and Bohl), as far as I know.  Your commitment to win shows when you show me you don't practice nepotism (like the majority of the coaching ranks at the pro and college levels do).

Lol dude I was agreeing with that happens in these threads.  I know you don't think he should be fired.  I was making the joke that if you criticize him you get an immediate response from people "that you want him fired".  I have had the same accusation come at me before.  Sorry you had to run through I agree that criticism is warranted but it doesn't equal wanting him fired. 

Also Bo had it pretty fixed and his team was set to be really good, but that's another story for another day.

Lol I was disproving your ridiculous Bill Callahan comparison but whatever man. You can be grumpy in the corner until Frost turns this thing around if you want to. He and his staff will be here regardless of your complaining because luckily our leadership isn't as short sighted as some in our fanbase.

Man it's almost like I heard you say this 5 years ago

Y'all don't read, do you? 

 

I said I AM IN WITH FROST for the 112,213,121 time.  But just because you support someone doesn't mean you can't be critical of them.

 

 

 

I'm not the one equating stats with wins and losses.

Lol no you criticized Frost clearly you want him fired, that's what happens in all these threads.

If I'm a scholarship athlete at the University of Nebraska that played during the '17 season, I'm HELL-BENT on giving everything I have, every minute of every day for the school that's giving me a full ride. I look down at the number on my jersey and realize that a LEGEND wore this number (whatever it is) and I have a tradition to live up to.

 

I don't loaf in practice, or go through the motions. I push, encourage, and make my teammates better. I do everything the coaches ask of me. I watch film and pay attention during meetings. I figure out my lapses and mistakes and do whatever I can to avoid them in the future. I don't lose my cool and PUNCH AN OPPONENT. 

 

I make it my goal in life to lead during whatever conditioning drills there are. I put my body on the line if I'm on defense or blocking - there ARE NO BUSINESS DECISIONS.  

 

In the off-season, I live in the weight room and mold my God-given gifts into weapons for my team. 

 

I will NEVER be caught on film jogging or half-heartedly pursuing a ball carrier, no matter how far he may be away. 

 

You're crazy if you think the whole team is bought in like this. It's why we are where we are. 

Again buy in has nothing to do with keeping a quarterback in that isn't getting it done.  Not running up the middle on the 1, not going for it on 4th.  Saving your timeouts at the most important part of the game.  Having Johnson burn a game for 1 snap.  Keeping Lamar Jackson on the field while he refuses to play unless the ball is thrown to his guy.   How about he stops pansy footing around press conferences and blaming players.  His actual in game coaching is the reason we lost 3 games this year.   Not to mention he gets out schemed every week.

I agree with most of this post, although i do think some of it is wishful thinking.  At certain spots on our Defense it very well could be addition by subtraction.  Problem is we lose by far our best 2 defenders.  Imagine this defense without Daniels and Jackson....cause thats the other side of the optimism coin.

Are you saying that Daniels is good? He is not good, he's a sub par defensive tackle that doesn't really tackle, doesn't take a double to block him and gets run past quite frequently.  Yes he made a pick, but for as much as he runs his mouth, his play doesn't reflect that.  Go watch the touchdown where they run right up the middle.  He gets manhandled, which unfortunately is the case quite often.

It's year 2 with one full recruiting class and a bunch players who are mentally soft.   You do not throw all your young players to the wolves to win one game.  It's not about winning yesterday,  its about getting back to where we should be.

No, it was about winning yesterday, and throwing anyone to any wolves is not why we lost.

Your venting is completely understandable. Next season will showcase a lot of new and younger players. See improvement as the season progresses, then things will look promising. However, no improvement or regression will speak volumes.
