BoSolich Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 even if you recover it, it wouldn't have guaranteed a win. you have to trust your defense in that situation. SMH 2 Quote Link to comment

Bigred_inSD Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Bears crap in the woods. Of course it was dumb. Frost has to be the smartest man in the room at all times though. Kick it deep, maybe you get a fair cath, or a big hit. Dudes were flying high. Frost took it from them to get his name on the marquee. 3 Quote Link to comment
Born N Bled Red Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The on-site kick was a calculated gamble. I agree it was stupid, but, the possession prior Northwestern was gashing us and would have likely scored without the forced fumble at the end of a what, 50 yard running play? Frost thought he could catch them napping and keep the ball out of their offenses' hands. I get it, still not what I'd have done, but I get it. That said, I think it's pretty obvious now, why only 9 Blackshirts were handed out. You could argue it should have been fewer. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Grant makes an incredible run for a long TD. Our team celebrates, and we are up by 2 scores. Momentum is swung into our favor. 28-17 All the pressure is now on Northwestern. Who on earth thinks you need a trick play on a kickoff after that - as the best decision for the team? Onside kick success rate is less than 20% at best, and usually closer to 10%. Northwestern got the ball and regained momentum from it. Scored from a short field rather easily. 28-24 You literally took the pressure off Northwestern with that decision. The moment did not call for onside kick Attempt. I'm sorry, but that was the Dumbest decision that I ever saw. Immediately I thought...."No wonder. Here we go again" 5 1 Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 One of the single stupidest decisions I've ever seen. Just quit now Scott..... you've fixed nothing, man. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Silver lining- maybe trev will invent a new rule. If HCSF ever has an impulse he must run it by his assistants first. Frost may well be the stupidest coach ever 2 Quote Link to comment

How does Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and even Purdue win 9 games or more? Not by making a decision like that, for sure. 5 Quote Link to comment
Jason Sitoke Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Not sure why everyone is so hung up on this. It gave northwestern 30 yards in field position. They gained well over 500 yards on our defense. Do you really think we stuff them on that drive if they start at the 25? Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 So I'm sure this will get accused of being a homer comment but... I was talking to a friend this evening and he asked what I thought of the onside kick. I said it pretty much had to be Frost's call unless there was some sort of automatic on. He said there was some shot of Busch on one of the replays and his expression indicated that it was a shock to him. So my friend was wondering if it wasn't really called that way and Frost was just falling on the sword instead of blaming the player. Not that that would make it any better. But I am curious to try to find that video. Quote Link to comment

But isn’t he known for openly blaming players? 2 Quote Link to comment

I slowed it to .25x speed and he was confounded in every frame for about four seconds the camera was on them. At the end he says "what are you doing?" 2 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 HCSF does a good job owning up to it. He actually has a good post game press here. Also at 8:50 mark, Vokolek and Casey address the media as well. Towards the end, Nelson joins in. (Nelson sounds like he just had a pack of smokes and buried his dog. I would expect more from a "captain" - win or lose) Quote Link to comment
