27 points in 3 games

[Huskers93-97]

WTF. That’s 9 points per game. Simply blaming the oline, recruiting, talent etc is not a good enough excuse. 

 

There has to be some play calling, coaching, scheme or something that can muster more than 9 points per game. 2009 offense is starting to look like the 83 scoring explosion.

Not enough chunk plays  - Scott Frost.   

[Caveman]

1. One game was against Ohio State

2. One game was without starting QB and we lost our biggest playmaker 

3. No excuse for the NW game 

[Huskers93-97]

Vedral was playing as good or better than Martinez has played this year and we were not able to do much before Wan’dale got hurt- not sure when Wan’dale got hurt but it was after halftime from memory 

[Cdog923]

Blaming the offensive line can be exactly a good enough of an excuse: it's the worst O-line in the 30 years I've been watching Husker football. The G-C-G combo might be the worst in program history.

Frost needs to reevaluate everything his doing. This regression on offense is troubling. 

I compare everyone to Urban Meyer bc I think he's the quintessential great coach of today. No way Urban lets his center snap bad balls for half the year. No way he hopes the ST magically turns it around. Tom Osborne doesn't either. They fix it NOW.

The harsh reality is if he does not, he will eventually be gone.  He is currently 8-11 in 19 games......At the end of the day, the success or failure rests on the man at the top. We have players who "on paper" are significantly better than those we have played save OSU.  As mentioned before, TO had Darlington and McBride to get after guys.  He also evaluated his schemes and recruitment and changed what he was doing and we went from playing for championships to winning them.  

 

You continually hear guys coming from HS to college to the NFL say that the game is s much faster.  I think it's fair to say the same going from a G5 to a Power 5 program.  Announcers mentioned that during the UCF Pitt game. That could UCF week in and week out play a power 5 schedule and win.  The honest answer is no.  I think the game for Frost as a HC at a Power 5 B1G school with all the pressure in the world is a challenging and daunting situation.  One doe snot reach the level of Frost without a huge amount of self confidence. And perhaps this strength is also a weakness in that he thinks his system and staff intact can impact the B1G like it did the AAC.  I think he is coming to the realization....

You even hear Urban Meyer saying it. He was really high on us this year bc he thought Frost was the real deal. He's disappointed just like we are. It's shocking that Frost just hopes that Jurgens starts snapping the ball correctly. Osborne knew his a$$ was on the line every game.

I thought Jurgens had a good game snapping the ball. No issues tonight, right?

Probably had his best night snapping the ball. I've been making that post for weeks and I still think I'm right. I can't shoehorn everything to fit my internet ideology though. Jurgens is just a symptom imo fwiw.

Wonder if he was overly focused on the snaps because he blocked no one most of the night.  Kinda looked like Farniok has all year

We are Illinois...face it.

For years under TO we got blasted in bowl games by various Florida teams before he fixed the defense.  Improvements take a long time at Nebraska.  I don't know why.
