NoLongerN Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I was reading a Hail Varsity article where Frost said this, "When you’re as close as we’ve been one or two more pieces will get you over the hump." That's delusional to me. Your input? Source: https://hailvarsity.com/football-recruiting/nebraska-recruiting-scott-frost-ready-to-hit-road-recruiting-during-bye-week/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Crusader Husker Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 If 1 or 2 means 1 or 2 better coaches? Yes! 3 2 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 1 or 2 away from what? Having a .500 record? Sure, I suppose. Sounds like a desperate coach trying to blame the players he recruited and coached up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think with 2 more talented O linemen we would be a much better team. Giving AD 4 seconds instead of 2 would make a ton of difference getting our WR open. The coaches have to be tired of designing plays based on the inabilities of our O line. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 It's a very difficult question to answer. When you play so many really good teams so close, and, in those losses, you can point to one or two plays that would have changed the outcome, it makes me think we are that close. (no, that isn't saying they are moral victories. We lost and that sucks). However, it seems like in so many of those games, it's a different player here or there that could have/should have made the play. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't know this for certain but I do think Frost is mostly referring to the OL....and especially the right side. Two of our worst stats are sacks allowed and red zone efficiency. We get those stats better and we've won every close game by 10 points. 1 Quote Link to comment

But if Martinez touchdown is given the play before Yant's carry never happens. I'm simply saying the primary issue is the OL. A better OL and our offensive stats are waaay better.....including PPG.

Atbone95 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Really hoping there are decent OL transfers in the portal. Will be the biggest impact we can make on this team. 2 Quote Link to comment

And Frost has said a most troubling stat is we are by far last in the league with sacks allowed. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 What I don't like about the comment is that it absolves the coaches. They whether he's aware of it or not...have also played a role in the current state of Husker football. Pieces wise yes. I too have thought we most certainly could use some better offensive lineman and a more reliable quarterback and if so this team could/would be entirely different. Still not without warts and by warts I mean the coaching staff. 3 Quote Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 “We’re looking for immediate impact guys” made me laugh. Yeah us and literally every other P5 program. What’s next, we’re trying to recruit the top prospects in the country, we’re trying to get the top players in the state. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 He should look for recruits that are early risers that way they wont show up late or play flat for 11am games. Either that or instill some sort of culture where players dont think that's an acceptable thing to do in year 4. 1 Quote Link to comment
