Undone Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 3 minutes ago, ColoradoHusk said: I thought Rahmir and Yant were both running well in the first half, and Frost went away from the run game way too quickly. He let's one negative carry stick in his mind too much and is too hesitant to go back to the RB run game. Yeah. It's just flat out bad coaching. And like always, Martinez will take the vast majority of the blame. Obviously he had a bad game...but in my opinion poor coaching put him that spot. We should have been running the ball more in the third quarter, it's just as simple as that. Scott is doing absolutely nothing down the stretch here that lends any credibility to him actually being a good offensive game manager or good head coach. 3 Quote Link to comment

Glad to hear that you had a great time with the other fans and friends. For their devotion, the fans in the stands deserve so much more... Quote Link to comment

The opposing coaches know that if they hang around long enough, Frost/Nebraska will do something stupid or make a mistake to flip the game. That's worked for the past 4 years against NU. 2 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 34 minutes ago, Undone said: In the Minnesota game, we had a 48%/52% run/pass ratio. We ran for 4.38 yards per carry. Against Purdue, we had a 50/50 ratio. We ran for 4.48 yards per carry. So why the hell didn't Frost just run the ball more? Those YPC stats are just fine. Why is he asking Martinez to drop back to pass so much in the first place? Doesn't make sense. I can't find any defense of that. We had the lead at halftime after all... Just so stupid. This has been Frost's MO since day one. No rhyme or reason to the play calling. A guy shines, never to be seen again. Frustrating to say the least.... 3 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Once it's evident that Martinez is "off," you have to pretty much limit his passing to third downs only until he gets back in rhythm. Or if anything, limit the pass plays to swing passes & WR screens. It's just so unbelievable for this coaching staff to have screwed up the last two games. That failed goal line push against Minnesota was the point for me where it was like, "Ok, season's over." And I don't think I'll wind up being wrong on that one. 2 Quote Link to comment

And it probably would have been an even higher run ratio if we wouldn't have been throwing so much in the second half to come back from a big deficit. And we weren't even running the ball well from a yards per carry standpoint in that game. Frost went away from the run starting with Minnesota. Then in the post game of that one, he comes out and says Martinez was hurt. Ok...why tf did you have him throwing so much then? Frost is pissing it down his leg. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

And again, like years previous, we have not one serviceable QB who can run the O better than a broken AM....I wouldn't be surprised of both Logan and Christian hit the portal. Why stay when you can't get in after a guy throws 4 pics or is injured.....Verduzco should've been gone 2 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment

hunter49 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Verduzco is an example of most of these coaches, they are out classed in this league. Quote Link to comment

This is directly attributable to a coach's culture. 1 Quote Link to comment

Logan looked serviceable in his brief time (playing alongside the backups) 1 Quote Link to comment
