BoNeyard Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I could go on about the offensive line and special teams, but just find any of my game posts from 2014-2017. Yet still, through this awful 0-2 start, I can't help but be excited about this rebuilding year. It's going to take time to get this thing right, but Frost and Co. will get it right. 2 Quote Link to comment

Toe Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 We are terrible at ball security. Some people thought Martinez looked great in this preseason video, but I was scared because of the way he was flailing his arm around when he was carrying the ball. And I noticed the same thing from our guys today (Bell IIRC) - just waving the ball all around as they're carrying it. What's really scary is that you can't blame Riley for either of them, they're both Frost guys. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Zone Read isn't much different than the belly option we used to run. Frost led the nation on offense last year using it so I don't think it's complete garbage... Quote Link to comment

Packerhuskerfan Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 We aren't going to a bowl game. It still is the same stupid self inflicted mistakes Nebraska has made for a decade. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think it was Bell, but I could be wrong. Just all around too conservative. And I get it was a walk-on at QB but the way Frost and co. made it sound was the drop off from Martinez wouldn’t be that big. Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I learned what it feels like to have our worst start since 1957....it feels like s#!t. 1 Quote Link to comment

Knew the turnaround couldn't be instant. Played a walk on at QB and frankly he looked like a walk on today. Credit to Troy. Defense isn't great but much improved imo. Some mistakes are still there but guys are playing hard. Our kicking game is horrendous. If there is one thing Frost needs to pay more attention to it's that imo. He seems to consider it a necessary evil. Special teams is killing us right now. LSU rebounded after the Troy loss last year and salvaged their season. Hopefully we can do the same. Hopefully Martinez can get and stay healthy. When i started the "Top Concerns" thread, i cited that special teams was my very top concern. I wanted Dewit to prove me wrong. He's not. I also focused on Frost's first season at UCF rather than the fantasy 2nd season. Hoped i was wrong about how it would look ugly this year, and wanted to be proven wrong again. They're not.

Ozigbo average less than 3yards per carry. A lot has to go right for ziggy to be effective. He takes to long to get going and can't make people miss. IMO bell and Washington are better for this offense especially when the line is struggling. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, we get stuffed a lot on short yardage situations when we just line up and run, but you play to win the game. The shanked punt and their TD proved it wasn't the right call. Maybe we should throw more in short yardage. Quote Link to comment
Spammytodd Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Remember when Riley and company ran the ball down UCLA’s throat. It feels like this team has as much talent at o-line and RB as that team. Why couldn’t they have done that today?!?! So frustrating... 1 Quote Link to comment
