OL is getting owned.  Players have read too much and believing the hype....

Wait. When did football players start reading?

[Huskerchief]

This isn’t looking like a team that should be anywhere near the top 25...

First game nerve/rust.

But AM is off today. The last throw was terrible, and earlier he had Noa for an east TD but waited too long to throw it.

He looks like he regressed from last season. I know it's one game, but he lloked much better against CU last year.  The only thing I can think is he's more concerned catching the snaps than the play.

I think we get right in the second half. Defense will play as they have been, offense will adjust. I bet we still score 40

[LumberJackSker]

I know frost probably doesn't want to show a lot in this game but they're going to have to open up the offense. High snaps and Robinson aren't going to get it done.

Same story, different season. Undisciplined, sloppy, soft.

Defense looks better.  And this whole offense is predicated on timing.  Cam Jurgens is really hurting us.

This looks like a Bo team, I don't know. So much Jekyll and Hyde. Flat attitudes. Maybe it's the early game. Frost looks pissed. Few bright spots. Need the entire team pulling in one direction.

 

I'll probably catch some flak for this but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Luke McCaffrey for one series in the 2nd half. Give Martinez some perspective. He's missing practice throws at this point, throwing flat footed, off his back foot, not squaring his shoulders, very indecisive running it.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

It starts with the O-line and then goes to A-Mart.....we can't run as an offense if those two things aren't even clicking remotely. That last throw Wandale was WIDE OPEN and A-Mart misses him?! WTF.........

Our offense can't get in a mojo if we can't run the ball, and we can't run the ball if we can't block. Martinez is out of rhythm and the pass pro on many plays isn't helping

 

The OL looks like garbage, and it starts at center. High snaps are taking Martinez out of his rhythm, and running for his life doesn’t help the run or pass game. 

 

We’ve regressed on the OL so far. If it isn’t fixed, forget about a bowl game.

[Redux]

Liking our defense so far....

 

I think I could do a few beer bongs, put on a blindfold and snap the ball better to Adrian.

I'm guessing we are seeing what Frost has been seeing and why he didn't have them ranked in the top 25...

We get the snaps down, timing is better. It is obvious Domann came to play. Defense woke up. Freshman back up kicker spooked by the stage. We hang 50 on em second half. Our timing on offense needs to get better
