Jeremy Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 11 minutes ago, Hedley Lamarr said: National recruiting analyst Tom Lemming called Frazier "the best all-around quarterback I've seen in five years. ... A great ballhandler and runner. A great precision passer. This was said when he signed with Nebraska out of HS. He picked us over Notre Dame and Clemson Between Dantonio retiring and covid Tucker lots in excess of 30 guys to the portal. Okay, maybe Frazier wasn't the best example. I did read that several schools recruited him to play defensive back, and we wanted him as quarterback. Anyway, the point remains. As it is now, our recruiting is last in the B1G. Outside of hiring Urban Meyer, I don't see that changing a whole lot. With an option guy, its about athletes, consistency, and repetition. We would be fine for all 3 of those. Quote Link to comment

We have practically every single year since we joined the B1G finished 3rd-5th in the conference. We just haven't had a coach worth a crap. Heck we currently have 24 4+ star players on our team and we are losing to teams with less than half of that star power. 1 Quote Link to comment

When I see two dozen 4 star kids, I think 'Good God, what an awesome option team that would make.' 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Also, both Calhoun and Monken are solid coaches. Seriously. Quote Link to comment

We pissed away a lead in the 4th quarter. Those are two different phenomena. I mean, NU pretty much got shutout in the second half and needed an onside kick to try and win. That is sort of the definition of struggling to keep it close, at home, vs a really crappy team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

After 20-plus years of this, now I am going to quit being a Husker fan. Right? Sure. Are you nuts!? However, if I had the power of the administration of the University of Nebraska and was paying Scott's salary... I would cut him loose. It would end right here. I assume you are fan as I am and, well, we back whatever is there. We backed Bill, Bo, Mike and Scott just the same. Hoped for the best. But as an administrator, are you telling me that you would A) Be happy with the product on the field OR B) Have a reasonable expectation things are going to change in the future. My guess is that it would hard to hold the A or B position and that only leaves you with C as in C-ya Later Scott. 1 Quote Link to comment

Given the team he inherited I'd argue, he SEVERLY underperformed in his first year. Making this year's rebound look better. So obviously by this logic, Frost should get little credit for his UCF run, since you know UCF was in the FIesta Bowl what three years before his arrival. FFS, MSU was a raging s#!thole dumpster fire when Tucker got there. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Which also an arguement could be made for the Illinois and MInny games, cause up to the last "hey they made it a 1 score game again" TD drive, those games were not that competitive for long stretches 1 Quote Link to comment

Nor were they pushed around in both lines like little patty cake playing pansies for years either.

Not a team engaged in a defensive one score game. That is by definition "keeping it close." Quote Link to comment
