RedDenver Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I learned RUN THE DAMN BALL guy will come out even after the Huskers passing game goes 24 of 28 for 255 yards at 9.1 ypa. Both the running and passing games were working well. Defense played well. Special teams and especially turnovers kept this game close. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

RUN THE DAMN BALL AND WIN NEARLY EVERY TIME! EVEN WITH FOUR FREAKING TURNOVERS! With hat tip to poster who pointed this out earlier, I simply cannot fathom what Coach Frost sees when we're inside the opponent's 5 yard line and he appears to lash out to find ANY other option other than giving it to Mills up the gut. There is no other explanation other than based on ego his hell bent on proving how smart he is....and in trying so hard to do so, he's so clearly showing how smart he is not. Unless this one aspect of his personality changes, everything else they try to do in the program will be like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Ball is in Coach Frost's court....as he's the only one who can make this change. 1 Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The team played well in spite of the coaching. Frost is a flat out terrible coach and is the definition of a fake sharp. His RZ playcalling perfectly encapsulates everything. Watching Nebraska run that modified shuffle pass that the KC Chiefs kill teams with was hysterical. He's essentially a more jacked, worse version of Gene Chizik. Caught lightening in a bottle for one year and was completely mediocre for the rest of his career. Hiring a S/T coach will be critical. We've listed the coaches we hope will get shown the door, I'm more petrified of someone plucking Fisher. I do wonder if Dawson will bounce again if the NFL comes calling again or if he gets an offer to head back to the Northeast. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Martinez is not efficient enough for the offense to have sustained success in the B1G. 17 games, 28 total TD, 21 total Turnovers. It’s year 4 next year. Well past time to get a guy that can take care of the football, make good decisions and deliver the ball downfield. Grad Transfer QB is a necessity. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't think efficiency is good reason to criticize AM at this point. He's 81 of 105 (77%) over the last 4 games (all 4 starts since LM got a start). Turnovers definitely a fair criticism though. 4 Quote Link to comment

Efficiency in terms of scoring points and not turning the ball over. 1.65 TDs/game and 1.24 Turnovers/game isn’t efficient. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I completely forgot Nebraska was playing last night. When I found out I missed it I wasn't even disappointed. That's new. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's sad that the program has fallen to its lowest level in decades. Quote Link to comment

Some claim all this time is needed to get Nebraska back to decency, yet we see other programs hire new coaches and progress is evident by Year 2. Look at Matt Campbell at Iowa State. He inherited a program that was 3-9, 2-10, and 3-9 in the prior 3 years before he took over. By his 2nd year ISU was 8-5 and they have had a winning record since. He inherited a program that was in worse shape than what Frost did and found a way to make it competitive quickly. 2 Quote Link to comment
Fru Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I learned that Chinander and the defensive staff have officially won me over. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I learned this program is still stuck in mediocrity. Nebraska should have blown out Rutgers and not needed a 4th quarter come from behind victory to win the game. I definitely appreciated the fight, and Frost brings a lot of that himself, but that alone does not make a program good. This staff and team have a long way to go to be competitive in the BIG.

floridacorn Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I learned that when you bite on a sucker route (Dig + Post) & leave your OLB manned up vs a slot receiver on said deep post, the next opponent will test you with same look on their opening play. 2 Quote Link to comment

Has to say something what this team can do, with the coaches we have now. Special teams are out in the twilight zone, by themselves. GBR!!! Or perhaps it just means all the teams better than us started with better field position so they didn’t have a chance for 3 90 yard drives 1 1 Quote Link to comment
