84HuskerLaw Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Huskers will win 42-10. Tomorrow night is the beginning of the future of Husker Football under Frost. We will play well, although not perfect. There are plenty of young players still learning but we will win this game comfortably. Let the adventure begin! Go Big Red! nil 2 2 Quote Link to comment

Second half we play about the same and eke out a victory. Better than a loss but not reassuring. I don't expect significant improvement throughout the season like last year when the offense, defense and special teams were new with a true freshman QB. A loss tomorrow is possible in which case 4-5 wins max. We could be in trouble. I don't see how you don't expect improvement The offense has a first time starting center and guard. Another guard with limited starts. Starting sophomore QB and RB. True freshmen starting at the Duck R and only one real senior at wide receiver who is a grad transfer. I'd say that amount of youth could improve significantly over the year. The improvement from game 1 to 2 was noticable. The defense is old and experienced and may not change drastically but the offense can. 1 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan74 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 If we do not start showing that the Frost system is working, a lot of fans and sponsors will start questioning his hire. I wholeheartedly believe that Frost wants to win and wants to bring the huskers back, there is zero doubt about that. I fully support him and know in my heart that his intentions are genuine. However, I also think that he underestimated how hard this will be. It took Wisconsin years to become what they are now and they followed the Husker recipe from the 90s. The problem is that we abandoned that recipe for 18 years now and think we can win by letting the ball fly. We need to get back to basic smash mouth football running the ball down opponents throats. We do not have that with this team and that is why I believe it will be a very long and disappointing season. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 SP+, FP, EI-EI-O.. whatever the hell all that means, it's not that complicated.. What needs to be fixed are both lines on each side of the ball. If SF can figure what's wrong with the O and D lines, that will be the start to getting this team right Quote Link to comment

For the young O-linemen, if it’s a matter of strength, they won’t get it during the season. Quote Link to comment

Any team in the country could still technically end up 4-8, let's get a little further into the year before deciding we're stagnant. No!!! I thought surely we'd be 5 and 2 by now!!!

Haven't heard his name at all since the season started. Is he officially redshirting? Wondering why he isn't getting on the field under the four game rule. Maybe later games? Just not developed enough yet? Thought I heard he might challenge for a starting spot. Quote Link to comment

However there can still be significant improvement. I don't think the line issues are strength it's recognizing defenses and executing their blocks. There were multiple times last week we had 5 lineman blocking 2 or 3 guys while the others ran free to AM. That's not a strength and can improve significantly. Quote Link to comment

But this kind of expectation is a reason it's for the better he hasn't seen the field yet. 1 Quote Link to comment
