Who are you gonna put in? Our backups are worse than him.

 

Again, we did this last year.  Luke was terrible.

All these people saying the receivers aren’t open are morons.  There are plenty of open receivers.  We need a competent QB. 

We must be watching different games. The recievers are not getting open in obvious passing situations. And I'm not a moron.

[GlobalHusker]

Better throws and we have a lead even with that scoop and score.

Fire Frost. Promote Chinander.

Don’t blame the defense. Played fairly well.  This offense needs an overhaul.  There are no dynamic receivers. Barely can get open. Run AM, run some backs, throw to TE.  Next QB should be ready.  We need a reliable workhorse RB. Or just do it by committee.

We know what we’ve got with Martinez. I am so done with the guy. I’d rather see Matt Masker at this point. I don’t see us coming back to win this game unless our running game improves.

We could offer him $20M annually and he would still laugh us off.

The reality is we are not going to get anyone good. This program is dead. 

[Husker4Real]

And now - coaching adjustments at halftime.  Wonder who will make the better ones?

 

Like all of you, I just sit with my mouth agape at how, in year 4, we continue to make the same game-changing errors week after week.

Llewer looked open to me. So did Hickman

If you can’t win with a quarterback that’s been there since the Eisenhower administration against the second string quarterback on the other team that’s put in a new scheme you’re screwed.

Stepp needs to step it up. He’s been mostly a bust so far. 

[Hagg]

So.. we've go to suffer through this for the whole season, unless COVID shuts it down.  No, I'm not hoping for that.  But... gawd same mess as before.  D looked good for a bit there.  O lines is getting their individual butts kicked.  Coach Frost is .. I don't know what he is.  Does anybody?

[huskerfan74]

Our defense played great except that stupid penalty that cost us. Special teams make the word special be ashamed of itself. Offense is no better than a high school offense and that is insulting high school football.

In 2019 we played Illinois we were down 21-7. We came back second half and ended up winning 42-38.  We got a whole lotta football to play. However, Martinez is not the guy. Frost needs to put in the other guys we have on the roster for qb. 
(In 2020 it was a nightmare. Wrong date. Sorry. My bad.
