huskerfan333157 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Any unbiased fan could see we'd only win 1 or two games this year. I think frost is still the guy. Let's let him try to develop this young talent and let's just sit back and watch the young talent improve! We'll be okay guys, I promise! 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Meh. I think the state is probably just going to start to slowly lose interest in "bringing the program 'back.'" 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Decoy73 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I agree with this. We've lost to a really good OSU team and a close one to a good NW team. Frost still checks all the boxes as our coach IMO. I really just want to beat Iowa at this point. I think the future for us still looks bright. 5 Quote Link to comment

He checks all the boxes but it's starting to seem fairly obvious that expectations have to be drastically lowered from the hope he brought to the fan base of bringing us "back" in 2018. 2 Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 A weird analogy between a lot of locker talk not equating to on field performance, and a lot of yards not translating into scoreboard points. Quote Link to comment
Popular Post PaulCrewe Posted November 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2020 It's year 3 and it is the same look as year 1. No accountability, undisciplined play, dumb penalties, no identity on offense, etc. Meanwhile while all this has been going on, programs across the country are bringing new coaches into programs with just as, if not worse situations, and they are WINNING. Doesn't matter if they have "their players" or "their culture" 100% infused into said program. SO WHY SHOULD A FANBASE REMAIN CALM???? Seriously the while this program is trying to stay calm and wait a couple of more years to see the fruits of Scott's labor, the rest of the teams in the league(Illinois may be the exception) are blowing past NU. 5 7 2 Quote Link to comment

What is a reasonable timeframe before we can no longer keep saying it will take time? I don’t want to be in year 5 still hearing people saying I guess the culture and talent under Riley was so bad it’s taking longer to rebuild. Starting next year almost the entire team is frosts recruits so no excuses. s#!t Martinez could graduate next year so no more blaming someone else. Do other coaches take 3-4 years to change a culture? 1 Quote Link to comment

huskered17 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 We don't seem to have enough talent stepping up. Where are our w/r's. We have been recruiting them for 3yrs. I think two got in in the second half, i think. We have running backs that don't seem to get much playing time, besides our starter. Play the freshman, can't be any worse then what's out there now. They don't lose any eligibility this year, so why not see what they can do. Martinez doesn't have any one to throw to, except it seems like the T/E's. I like the way the D's been playing. Looks like they are starting to get it. The O is turning out a lot of yardage, but still red zone play calling is puzzling. Think Frost is our guy. When it gels look out. GBR!!! . 2 1 Quote Link to comment
commando Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 if there is anything positive to take out of the season so far....it's that we have played the division leaders at their home fields so far. we can say the hardest part of our season is past us now. Quote Link to comment
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I've pretty much heard the same spiel for the past 15 years, yet every year we're plagued with penalties and undisciplined play. Just tired of all the excuses. 2 Quote Link to comment

It's more directed at those that say you need years to install your culture, players, etc. During the first year, yes common sense should prove that is the case. But that is not a battle cry screamed by successful programs in YEAR 3. The point was also proven again last night in Boulder. Coach is hired during arguably the WORST offseason to ever be hired, hardly even knows what he has for team do to the circumstances, and yet goes out and wins his debut(yes UCLA is a hot mess). However, you see it every where. If you need more than a year to install your culture, one should take a look in the mirror and maybe reevaluate ones ways and means of flipping said culture. 3 Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 We are showing no improvement in year 3 on the offensive side of the ball and special teams. Year 3, the offense should be able to execute basic plays. We have one predicated on getting guys in space, creating mismatches with speed, going up tempo and scoring a lot. We have now lost 7 of our last 8 games. I just read that if you take away the Maryland game last year, Frost’s high flying, all gas no brakes, chunk play offense is scoring less than 18 ppg. That’s laughable. Wan’dale, our most prolific offense player had 4 passes yesterday. Mills had 6.....,Play calling, inability to develop players is all on Frost. He needs to seriously reconsider his offensive scheme. It worked in the AAC when you could get faster athletes, but not now. Not in the B1G. Offense puts up yards, but not points......NU needs to drop some serious bank and get an OC who can teach and implement a system......I look at Miami in year one under Lashlee and they are killing it.... Prior to covid, I figured we were still 2021/2022 to figure out what we really were. Covid hits and I thought this would be the year. I was completely wrong. The D is looking much improved. I have no faith in the offensive scheme and have seen nothing to think we will turn the corner anytime soon.... We are now at the bottom of the B1G. Viewed as a gimme. An easy game to schedule to get some reps for younger guys, try out a new wrinkle or 2 etc..... 1 Quote Link to comment
