D looked a little wore-out by the middle of the third also. Quote Link to comment

But nobody is getting open on the go routes. No one seems to be able to separate and that was the same in the opener. I feel we are very quick and the crossing routes and backs going out work the best rather than going straight speed. The line isn't holding up to wait on the deep routes either. Quote Link to comment
Mr. MojoHusker Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 1 hour ago, BigWillie said: We as fans have to be honest -- that was absolutely horrific playcalling in the 2nd half. As much as it is easy to blame the defense for falling apart, the playcalling on offense just continued to put them in horrid positions series after series. It's one thing if people want to say this a 'learning process', and we are 'growing'. But Frost was billed as the coach who was an offensive wizard who would put the team in the best position to succeed. Today was anything but that. Agreed. Needed to push for another score and then it was probably over. Third quarter had the same look at the opener. Also 17-0 with the crowd and momentum is not a learning process. 17-0 is not a score you consider over. Quote Link to comment

I’d also disagree as we went 0-2 last year. Also you said warm, indicating hot.... that’s pretty much the same thing. How can you not say the offense looks blander? I know we need to work on some things but just get a bit bigger lead before you take the third quarter off. I felt like Callahan was making the calls. Quote Link to comment

The offense looked near perfect in the 1st half...and then Colorado made adjustments and Nebraska coaches did not know how to handle those adjustments. Martinez was 8 for 8 and had a 234 passer rating in the 3rd quarter before the collapse happened. Scoring 31 against Colorado should have been enough to win this game. Quote Link to comment

Their adjustment was getting a ton of pressure with 3 players and playing good coverage on the back end. Still a young oline that needs some starts and some time to gel together.

At some point the staff needs to call some quick hitting crossing or screen plays, or Adrian needs to step up/escape and take off. I’m sure he was worried about getting hurt, and understandably, but he could have ran for 125 today. Quote Link to comment
Huckleberry Muhammad Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 First half vs second half, to me, spoke to being out coached. They adjusted to us, and we could not meet that. Quote Link to comment

Wow Frost wasn't happy with the run game either. Said Adrian has to do a better job running inside, Mo too, everyone does. He knows we're not going to get by everybody with just trying to outrun them sideline to sideline. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 We went vanilla in the second half and it cost us. Quote Link to comment

ESPN had incorrect rushing stats when I originally looked. I thought they seemed high but I didn't realize they were wrong until after I posted that. I still think the rushing offense was OK. Not great but not terrible. Taking out sacks, we had 40 carries for 217 yards - 5.4 ypc. Dedrick Mills seems to be not helpful. 8 carries for 24 yards. Washington and Martinez (less sacks) had 28 carries for 176 yards - 6.2 ypc. That's a pretty solid day. Quote Link to comment

B.B. Hemingway Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Yeesh. I'm awfully disappointed in Frost and Co in year 2, but this kind of take should be at least 2 years away. Quote Link to comment

Martinez and Washington need to do a better job running between the tackles. A majority of our fumbles have been in that area. Quote Link to comment
