Really want to know why Martinez won’t throw to Noa or other receivers when they’ve been open all. Day. Long. 

Been preaching this all year, as it has been the case.

 

pretty sure he is predetermined where he’s going with the ball right when he hears the play call

148 yards of offense........

And 42 on one play. Take that away and it’s 106 yards on 31 plays

If this season continues as it is. I could see Amart transferring out.  

That is not going to happen

Other than being a Nebraska kid what makes you think Verdal is good enough to lead this offense?

Honestly I don’t give AF where he is from. I’m from Atlanta. Someone’s Nebraska connections or lack thereof don’t mean s#!t to me. I don’t care if it’s Vedral or Mccaffrey. Just try someone else. Let Martinez watch. Maybe he will get a new perspective and get something out of it. It doesn’t have to be a permanent move.

To be fair, Wisconsin had 243 yards against them for the entire game last week...

I thought of that after I typed.  They are a salty team.

I have no idea how this game is going to turn out.  So exciting!

[4skers89]

Minnesota looks good against Illinois.  Illinois lost Peters their starting QB.

They haven't really been in the pocket much.  Pretty quick throws.  

 

And we have at least one sack.  And Stille got a big hit on the QB

I don't feel like we've dominated in any way. They're actually starting to pick up momentum and play us equal because they have all day in the backfield to do whatever they want. 
Our new motto....GO FOR THE TIE!

[Huskers93-97]

Does it seem like we don’t throw the ball more than 15 yards down field. The defenses can stay close the the line

Why ? Will we saddle up Amart no matter how far he regresses ?

Was about to say, Fitz has his teams dialed in and COMPLETELY bought into that side of the ball.  Has been for years, and those kids play their asses off in it, no matter how undersized or out talented they are

[Nebfanatic]

At the game. Defense has looked solid, though we need to shut down the QB keepers in the second half. Other than that, they can only dink and dunk on us. On offense, I'm not sure of the issue. Seems to be just enough time and reciever running open deep on a few plays but we just can't get it going. A bit frustrating as we could be winning by 2 more scores I think if our O would get their a$$ in gear

Lamar Jackson seemed to have benefited from watching form the sidelines.

 

This is year 3 for Noah, he has shown a grasp of the O.  I, like you, could care where he's from.  Let him get a series.  Show the team that no position to include Frost's prized recruit is free from riding the pine.  If it crushes AM, then mentally that tells me where he's at....

Yes, probably.

Yes. Frost has said many times that Adrian is his guy and he knows how good he can be. He is definitely struggling. He just needs to not think as much and have fun
