knapplc Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 This is bonkers. No way we should be four games under .500 with these numbers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 So what went wrong? Lack of red zone success? ST play. Play calling? Scheme? Are we really. as Beckton said, 5-6plays per game of a guy(s) giving one more minutes effort....Those stats are as crazy as the .4% chance of going 5-18 in 1 score games. Truly impossible, yet we find a way to lose.....Throughout 4 years... Quote Link to comment

Cobra Kai Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Negative nearly 3 football fields in hidden yardage never helps. -204 in special teams is less than ideal. I don't think the chart is giving us new information...just a nifty chart. We're above average on O and D. We are significantly below average in STs (hidden yardage goes with this, not all on STs tho). #2025nationalchamps 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 We are a very good team with a horrible record. There is no rational reason why our record should be this bad. 2 4 Quote Link to comment
Hagg Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Our team is playing as best it can. Kudos to the (former) coaching staff for getting them to do that, Special Teams an exception perhaps. Quote Link to comment
Dogs In A Pile Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 #102 in Red Zone + Poor Special Teams & Place Kicking + Undisciplined Penalties at Inopportune Moments + Puzzling Play Calling + Erratic QB Play = 3-7 It all falls upon the shoulders of HCSF & his staff / former staff. 5 1 Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 One could wonder what the numbers would look like if you get rid of the late drives against Illinois, Minnesota, and Purdue, playing their "prevent" defenses, that led to the "magical" one score loss 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

My bad from my initial post. We dropped a spot after the bye... https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/red-zone-scoring-pct Overall ST's we are 128th.....Ahead of Temple and Western Michigan. If Dawson hadn't done a great job this year we'd be dead last. Or two spots worse.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Popular Post BigRedBuster Posted November 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2021 I think these stats, along with this: Is a big part of why Frost was retained. And..yes....everyone knew and was saying when he was hired he would be given more time than someone else. So....here we are. We can support the program or sit and fret and stew about it. 8 4 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan74 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I know everyone believes that we are magically going to turn things around next year with an easier schedule. The problem is that “difficulty” is relative. Wisconsin was a bad team to start the year and here they are competing for the West conference. Minnesota was an easy opponent and they beat us. Illinois was going to be a sure thing and we lost to them. Purdue was a must win and they ended up beating us and two top ten teams and getting ranked. The issue is Frost himself. While his coaches did not help, he is the one ultimately making the decisions on this team and that has not changed even with the coaching changes. Think about it. Frost decided to go with an injured Martinez in the Minnesota game. We might have won that game if smothers were given a chance. Especially when he had four consecutive shots to take the lead. He then decided to ride Martinez after four interceptions in the Purdue game. These decisions were not Greg Austin’s, Matt Lubick’s, or Verduzco’s. They were Frost’s decisions. I completely agree that we are a much better team than our record shows and I am sure many around the country will agree. However, at the end of the day, all that matters is W-L and we are on the bad end of that category. Five years from now, no one will look at this year’s record and say we did great things. The question is will Frost actually point the thumb and realize that he needs to stop being stubborn and start admitting that he is getting out coached and actually get help from some good coaching hires. Otherwise, we will start making excuses for Frost again next year. Let us admit that the task ahead for Frost is extremely difficult and if he can’t pull a miracle these last two games, it will be a sign of bad things to come. I doubt there has ever been another team with these stats sitting at 3-7 and that is all on Frost. 3 2 Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Take out everyone's nonconference games then redo the figures. Bet the results will look a lot different. 1 Quote Link to comment
