Most of them are giving up football too. Gotta question what the staff is doing wrong here. Who lets graduation get in the way of building a football team. Love it!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Eventually coach is going to have to inspire guys to buy in otherwise we'll never build any depth. Frost has already ran off tons of guys, and here we are a year-and-a-half in, blaming most everything on a lack of talent and depth. If “running off” 2 guys inspires 70, I call it a win. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nebhawk Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Jumping in at midway here, but admitting that there is a talent issue isn't an uncommon issue when your school or team is constantly hiring and firing coaches. It seems like a death sentence for any diehard Big Red fan to admit we don't have the horses in the stable to play 4 quarters of ball against thoroughbreds from other schools. I do question schemes and player fits on this roster. I have wondered if 3 yards and a cloud of dust would have been better for winning some games, but it wouldnt have beaten the Buckeyes, and probably woudn't have beaten the Gophers. Might have gotten Colorado. So is an one game improvement enough to justify playing down to our current level, or is trying to showcase the future a better option. 1 Quote Link to comment

They seem to be doing OK. We've struggled the last three games because we've played two of the top defenses in the country (statistically) plus a sound Northwestern team. We have a struggling offensive line and we've have our four best play-makers miss large chunks of those games. We had nearly 300 more yards of offense against Illinois than Wisconsin did, and Wisconsin had the ball for 40 minutes against them. Our offense also out-did Wisconsin's effort against Northwestern in both points and yards. Last year we were putting up 450 yards of offense against B1G opponents like it was no big deal. Your statement is a blatant overreaction. We have struggled, yes. It has also been shown that we can put up huge numbers with this offense against B1G opponents. Just because we haven't this month does not warrant statements like that. Mav, I just want to be VERY clear for our readers at home.... WE'RE BEATING WISCONSIN AREN'T WE?!?!?!?! 1 Quote Link to comment

Of course he needs to change things, but for crying out loud, give it some time. This place has been constantly broke for over 15 years, so its gonna take more than 2 years to fix. So many high and mighty cry baby husker fans. You all should find a better team to root for, and leave the rest of us sorry sacks. Just so we’re clear, this is exactly what was said about Riley, and to some extent, bo pelini. So I suppose the question is, what exactly in the first 19 games can you point to as proof that somehow things will be better next year? I like frost. But it’s silly to act like anyone who has concerns about the product on the field is crazy. There are serious issues in Lincoln. They won’t magically get fixed just because the head coach is a former player, or because he had success elsewhere, or because you “believe”. He still has to make the right moves in all areas. So far, he hasn’t. That’s the issue here. 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment
Nebhawk Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think we will get there in year 3 or 4. If you look at other teams not named OSU or Wisky, that have made coaching changes, they all for the most part struggle in the first couple of seasons. Usually they do pull and upset or two, but lose games they should not be losing. Schemes are just schemes. If you talent, the scheme won't matter. Speed is the great equalizer. Power is the great maximizer. We are midway in both of those phases right now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Through 19 games Riley's had a lot more wins including a bowl win and a top 10 opponent win with a roster that was either (per rankings) nearly the same in raw talent level or actually slightly worse than what Frost has achieved/inherited 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment
