Scarlet Overkill Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Did people forget that Bill O'Brien set them up to be more or less ok for the future? THAT guy had it rough and did a damned good job with the situation. 2 Quote Link to comment

Scott Frost was put forth as a savior sent to save Nebraska and it’s people and you’re incredulous and mad the kids he’s paid to coach are looking to him for answers? 3 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Riley didn’t recruit cream puffs. Our starting offense has an average star rating of about 88 according to 247. You don’t get rated that way by being weak. What I will say is he more than likely created a culture of weakness and no accountability. Or at least had to condone it because the AD was the supposed disciplinarian. 2 Quote Link to comment

Most top athletes want to be pushed and held accountable. When Riley let the kids do whatever they wanted, it created a terrible atmosphere. So when Frost tries to turn around that culture, push the kids and hold them accountable, some kids will respond positivitely, some kids will respond negatively. That’s the schism we seem to be experiencing right now. 1 Quote Link to comment

Great point about the off-season hype. The players were buying in, putting work, hearing good things, and then after the CU and Troy losses the fragility of the mind comes in. Quote Link to comment

I think the toilet needs to be flushed (several years of recruiting) so to speak to shake out those who are not on board or hurting this team with undisciplined play. I stand by this team and the coaching staff no matter how much more ugly this season gets. Quote Link to comment

I am not incredulous or mad. Where did you get that? But yeah the players need to look inside themselves right now. How bad do they want to win? Scott Frost is among the best and if you wont play football for him.... hit the road. 1 Quote Link to comment

admo Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I learned some things stay the same. Teams run to towards #5 and pass towards #21. It gives them higher chances for big plays. Also... Punter is still a below average punter compared to the other team's punter. PK isn't ready for college ball or games yet. I hope he can turn it around, or we better find a new one ASAP before a game is on the line. Martinez, JD, Ozigbo, Stanley Morgan played well. There were some pretty good blocks on the right side of the ball (running the ball). A few times on the left but not consistent. Several guys played well on Defense, but not enough and it seems to be the same guys having an angle or opportunity to make a play and whiff. Those 15 yard penalties are past ridiculous.

ClemHusker Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Franklin's Penn State bosses were able to portray themselves as innocent widdle victims while helping Sandusky sponsor Penn State-based events so he could entrap 10-11-12 year old boys in the name of 'recruiting them'. The school is STILL portraying itself as the innocent victim, crying foul every time foes mention the shower rooms or the 30 years of sodomy under Sandusky-Paterno. But why didn't the NCAA use the same holy stick to beat on Baylor after 6 years of recruit-by-gang-rape promises? "Only one conviction!" but yes that testimony included 6 years of recruiting trips using gang-rape-wink-wink tales. But at least Nebraska is rid of getting easy access to Lone Star recruits.

This season is magical that way. The second half was quite magical for Jackson to experience his Teachable Moment. His replacement gave a quote about where accountability has to come from. The light bulb is coming in for some of the players. And Frost is getting a better idea of who it's not going to come on for, which will have to be addressed on the recruiting trail efforts.
