My mate that I play golf with posted a bunch of my old post when we hired Mr. Rogers how bad things would get that got me reported. Thanks though. He brought me back I blame him.

It's like there are supposed to be posts there, but they aren't by anybody, and they don't contain anything. Hmmm. Weird! Spooky! 1 Quote Link to comment

Ohio St has a tremendous record coming off a bye, though not significantly different than any other week for them. Quote Link to comment

I guess we could argue over the definition of "dominated", but the outcomes of those games were never really in question. Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 5 hours ago, krc1995 said: I guess I see it different. I do expect them to win every game they play, and when they don't, I try to figure out why they didn't. I wouldn't be a Husker fan anymore if I turned on the tv and said to myself "Self, I just hope we don't get embarrassed today" or "Self, I hope everyone does the best they can" I don't care about the spread or the opponent at all. I am not blind. Today's team is not the same team that played Colorado or even Michigan, they're much better, but they are still not good enough- yet. I don't blame Frost at all-and in fact his discipline in coaching is starting to show- but just like the Nebraska team that played Colorado is not the same one that played Ohio State today, Coach Frost is not the same coach- he's evolved too. But I do find that I don't trust his decisions in the last few minutes of a game because he hasn't had much success in those situations- and in fact- he's had no success- yet. He's a warrior, he'll figure it out and until he does. I'm going to be skeptical of the last few minutes of close games. Fine, Frost and coaches may have made decisions in the last few minutes of the Colorado and Northwestern games which cost NU those games. But, the players also failed to make plays and made mistakes which cost NU those games. But, for today, you seem hell bent on putting blame on the coaches for a close loss to a far superior talented team. Plus, I don’t see where Frost made any mistakes “managing the game”. Coaches have to try different things when they don’t have the talent to match up on the other side. If you think NU can match up with Ohio State on talent right now, then I think you are impossible to reason with. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The defense showed flashes but still not very good Jovan Dewitt needs to remove himself from ST coaching duties. And then the next coach needs to teach the players BASIC Special Teams play before doing anything else. Offense sputtered several times when they had OSU on the ropes. Which is unfortunate. We won the turnover and penalty battle. Which is really something considering who we were playing. Overall it was a good game. Still so far to go. Especially on defense. It might be 3 more years before we see anything championship worthy from them. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerPowerVA Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Martinez will be a Heisman candidate before he graduates. Frost's intensity is finally streaming down, which leads to more confidence. We did not look like a FBS team against OSU the last few years. We were one score from beating them at their place and we gave away touchdowns on both sides of the ball. We can run the football! Creative play calling is born from setting the defense box to stop the run and Martinez does a nice job on fakes where he pulls up and throws to very talented wideouts. Our defense can play well enough at times, but we still give up big plays from not only being out of position, but poor tacking. This was less the case yesterday, which is progress. Special teams is exhausting and a bigger part of the game when you see what happens during poor execution. Brady Quinn did not get into Notre Dame due to his academics. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I wonder how things would have been if JD catches that pass for a TD and the Skers go up two scores. 5 Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I think we learned that Caleb doesn’t have the onside kick down like a scholarship player should. Wonder if he has anything to do next season, save for riding pine (or painted steel) if we’re picking up a kicker? No, Caleb isn’t the only problem with special teams. But he has been one of the most consistent problems all season. And after he was replaced, punting was substantially better. Also, in the interest of not being wholly negative, I learned that I started getting pissed again when my daughters’ sports conflict with gametime. Been a few years since I felt that...

I think you are overexaggerating my point that I'm not to the point of trusting Frosts' late game decision making and THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T THINK HE'S A GOOD COACH. He doesn't seem to have any consistency with his play calling in these situations and this is why I don't necessarily trust his ability to do the right thing. In the Colorado game, he needed to eat clock but went uptempo. Can't exactly remember the Troy game, but it was the opposite. Northwestern was a coaching brain fart. Today I really can't fault, it just didn't work out, but at some point even with a random coin flop, you need to do better than 0-4. I think you’re misunderstanding the random part of random coin flip. I understand that in hindsight his decisions can be criticized, but, imo, he had method and justification for calling them exactly as he did. Freak meltdowns by the inferior team left him on the wrong side of the coin flip each time Quote Link to comment
