JJ Husker Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I learned that winning is much easier when you only have to defeat the opponent and not also your own mistakes. Favorite play of the night was the 84 yd punt. Whatever they did in practice this week needs to continue. This is the intensity they need to bring every game. Favorite Frost quote; This is how it’s supposed to look. This team really needed a game like this. This could be the turning point we’ve coveted. I learned (remembered) that I don’t need alcohol to get through a Husker game. 6 Quote Link to comment
Gorillahawk Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I learned that Frost's teams are starting to figure out what Nebraska football is supposed to look like, and it seems like they are figuring out how not to play down to their opponents and just dominating lesser competition Quote Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I learned this team could give me the feelings I had watching the Huskers in 80s/90s. Betts looked like Redwine and Friar dashing down the sideline. 1 Quote Link to comment

Spoke a bit too soon: 53 minutes ago, huskerfan74 said: I learned that all our problems are coaching issues. The talent is there but some of our coaches were trusted without supervision. Example given, Greg Austin. It took Frost practicing with them to fix their issues. It is sad that Frost let things get so bad before finally deciding to interfere and make some changes. Can you imagine what our record would have been if these changes were made after the Illinois game? Obviously Greg Austin is not a good coach and we need a dedicated ST coach to keep working with these guys. Sky is the limit if we keep playing like we did tonight. I hope this continues and carries into next game. Coaching changes are needed for this to continue. I hope that Frost realizes this now. 10 Quote Link to comment

No penalties in first half, OL was excellent, ST did not get in the way and had a remarkable 84 yard punt, defense dominated again, and Yant emerged as someone who can be a game changer. That is all positive. My comment was that we obviously are capable of playing well but it took two gut-wrenching losses for Frost to take action. So our issues are coaching related and not lack of talent. Hopefully, the Frost and company have the confidence to continue this performance and finally turn the corner next week against a storied Michigan team. That would be Frost’s signature win. We now see that this team can play a clean game without shooting themselves in the foot. I am sorry if you feel that my comment was negative. It was meant to be hopeful as I hope Frost finally figured things out and knows what he has to do to avoid what happened in the last two games. 1 Quote Link to comment
DefenderAO Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just watched every play after being out with the Mrs tonight missing it live. I AM SO DAMN PROUD OF THIS TEAM. This was the best game of Frost's NU tenure. The Offense was crisp. No mistakes. Best game from the O Line in a long time. Outstanding. Adrian was decisive, sharp through the air and running. Yant is smooth and powerful. Johnson is a beast of a blocker and is a nice compliment to Yant's power. Johnson as a lead block to Adrian as a keeper from the shotgun is a great play for guaranteed yards. The D was stout throughout. 37 yards given up on the ground. 84 yard punt. What?!? Penalties? What penalties? Very well done in the discipline department. Nothing killed us. My two favorite moments, however. 1. Frost at half, up 35-7, wasn't pleased. YES. NW isn't the goal. Championships are. Scott had fire. It carried over from recent prior games. Build. From. This. 2. Trev's and Scott's post game embrace. I want a unified office and team from here on out. Beat Michigan. 2 Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 A good game from the offensive line with a run first mentality does wonders for the rest of the offense. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I learned there is still a lot of reason for hope from this staff... What a fun game to watch! I also learned the eye roll emojis would save us a lot of responses on HB. GBR! 4 Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I haven’t posted in a few years, for a lot of reasons, but let’s face it, not a lot of positives the last few years to post about. This is just one game, and for all we know not significant in Frost’s career trajectory, but sometimes, often times, it just takes one game like this for everyone to believe. That’s what I learned tonight: there is still belief. That was a different game tonight, from field level to top row. 2 2 Quote Link to comment
Farms Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I learned that chugging keg beer all night like you’re 19 is a horrible idea. It’s going to be a long f#&%ing day. 1 6 Quote Link to comment

Decoy73 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Maybe the blowout win helped, but the Memorial Stadium experience was really cool. I loved the new red light/pyro show after the 3rd quarter. Quote Link to comment
