B.B. Hemingway Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 This quote caught my attention too. It seems Frost thought a simple, run heavy game plan would be enough (and he should of been right). The O-Line had a poor performance (so did Martinez), and I wouldn't be surprised if it's our worst offensive performance of the year.... I actually suspect it will be. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Why do people keep acting like Williams had a bad game? He got hurt to early to pass judgement Quote Link to comment

Yes but no one was having a good game by that point. He was in position I think he would have settled like the rest of the defense but I don't think he played at all past the first quarter Quote Link to comment
HIHusker Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I learned that based on what Wiscy did to USF, unless USF is totally rebuilding/down this year, compared to what we did to SA means we might have our hands full at home against them this year. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Our offensive line is no better than last year. Disappointing that Martinez got jumpy because line v was sub par, but her is a 2nd year player. 1 minute ago, HIHusker said: I learned that based on what Wiscy did to USF, unless USF is totally rebuilding/down this year, compared to what we did to SA means we might have our hands full at home against them this year.

cheekygeek Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I learned that Frost’s offensive plan to lull Colorado’s defense into a false sense of security is working PERFECTLY. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I know I will make a lot of jokes about other teams playing poorly early in the season, but by the time it comes to conference play, those early games don’t mean anything. NU needs to improve, and I expect them to. Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Do not expect Adrian Martinez to appear uninterested against the team that cost him pain & games last year with their dirty play. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fru Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Today was admittedly disappointing. However... - I thought the Defense looked pretty solid. Especially when you consider the Offense kept putting them in bad positions. Turnovers and tackles for loss were nice to see. - Strength and conditioning was evident. Lots of guys were noticeably bigger. No one seemed to gas out. - O was obviously disappointing, but I don’t see AM and Co. turning in that performance every week. - It was nice to see them experience some adversity, but find a way to win, instead of experiencing adversity and finding a way to lose. Obviously not what we wanted, but I’ll take the win. I’m thinking the O sharpens up next week. Mo’s situation should likely be settled by then. Hopefully Cam settles in. Having some film will allow everyone to tighten up. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm with the optimist fans that we had a bit of first game jitters/youth. That being said, we have to get out sh*t together asap. We have a very favorable schedule this year, might as well take advantage. I pray that we show up as world beaters in Boulder. Losing to them anywhere, anytime is almost the worst (see Texas for that). Too much reliance on either the D or O for entire stretches of the season will be a problem. No more 2009's please, thank you. Game ball goes to the D and Spielman today. Jurgens is young but his performance today was unacceptable. Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Two years straight Scott's team has had flat starts. It's the same stuff that happened with Riley. It's a good day when the other team gives you more gifts then your own mistakes you give away from simply bad football with poor discipline. As one who had us at 7-5 ... this one shows everyone that no one really knows. This year could be just as ugly as any other. I had this one as a W ... but even I thought we'd be crisp at least in the sense of playing hard, playing smart and tough. Never would have imagined Martinez being so tentative and "off". No real surprise with the OL issues here. Quote Link to comment
KCBuc Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 What I “learned”: People leaving the stadium looked like NU lost. It was silent. Like a funeral. NU is not athletic. It will take a few years of recruiting and developing them to play with the big boys. Im betting Colorado next week (vomited a little in my mouth). Roll Martinez out. He didn’t go through reads today. The intro was good before the tunnel walk. Quote Link to comment
r06ue1 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 7 - 5 seems a bit high for my pick, hope I'm wrong. Negatives: 1. The offense after the first series. 2. Turnovers. Positives: 1. Defense forcing turnovers and scoring. 2. Special teams (other than the fumbled return). 3. We didn't show Colorado anything on offense, hope that was by design. 3 Quote Link to comment
