they are if they cant figure out the problems on the offensive line. they suck right now. they sucked last year until they canned cole conrad and moved farmer to center.
I'm not sure we have that option right now is the problemthey are if they cant figure out the problems on the offensive line. they suck right now. they sucked last year until they canned cole conrad and moved farmer to center.
i know they dont. they are going to continue to see a lot of fake or delayed blitzes and confusing fronts until they figure it out.I'm not sure we have that option right now is the problem
I think part of it is less on actual ability and more on communication so that at least is somewhat promising. Still need to figure it outi know they dont. they are going to continue to see a lot of fake or delayed blitzes and confusing fronts until they figure it out.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I agree that would not be moving the needle, but we're 1-1. Any team in the country could still technically end up 4-8, let's get a little further into the year before deciding we're stagnant.
Until Matt Farniok proves me otherwise, I am going to blame it on ability.I think part of it is less on actual ability and more on communication so that at least is somewhat promising. Still need to figure it out
We're gonna run the option now?!?!?!I'm not sure we have that option right now is the problem
I heard Frost burned the playbook in the lockerroom after the loss Saturday and instructed Mills to teach the team how to run wishbone triple option like he ran at GT from memory before the next game. Reports are we are looking much better and running the ball for 5 yards every single play. There are traps, counters and of course the beloved triple option. They hope everyone in Lincoln is pleasantly surprised.
I would add, loosing Ozigbo and Morgan were just as big. Morgan was such a great leader, I really miss watching him play.i know they dont. they are going to continue to see a lot of fake or delayed blitzes and confusing fronts until they figure it out.
As the OL gets more experience, you won't have to write as much about how much trouble we're in.If a question is asked “Are you in trouble?”, then yes, you are already in trouble. There must be enough apparent evidence for someone to justify an honest asking of that question in the first place. The question is, how bad of trouble? Minor or deep?
Are you in trouble? If the answer is yes, then questions arise as to what the problems are and what is their source and what to do about them. That creates another layer of trouble trying to find agreement and common ground on a useful response and plan of action.
Husker Fans have over 20 years of built up frustration. That is big trouble.
Husker fans were so happy when Scott Frost came home. Many hoped for an instant return to Husker greatness. That wasn’t going to happen. This isn’t the same Nebraska when he was here before and college football is not the same as when the Huskers were winning national titles. And players are different now, much different from the generations of the 1970s and 1990s of Husker great times. This could be seen as “trouble” as deflated expectations do not add to the positive vibe around the program or put a bounce in anyone’s step.
Are the Huskers in trouble? Getting past the click-bait aspect and over-panic that some might indulge in, it’s a fair question when it’s obvious that something is lacking. A win or two will serve to pacify some of the negativity. But the next blow-out loss to a good opponent or more close wins or losses to non-Blue Bloods will just quickly bring right back all the questions.
OK, so there’s trouble. The response right now? Stay the course. Be patient. See what happens. Fans kick back and chill and refrain from over-reacting. Things will get more clear in the next few weeks for these young men and the program in general.
Few in Husker Nation would have chosen someone other than Scott Frost to come to Lincoln. It must not have been easy for him to leave a good situation in Florida and come back into a hurricane on the Plains. But he did it. This is not easy on him or his family which, for a football coach, is always married to the team as well. He deserves a full and unencumbered opportunity to succeed or fail here on his own terms. As do the players as well.
We don’t go looking for trouble. Trouble just finds us. And trouble does not ever provide us the answers of how to get out of them. We feel our way out of the cave at our own pace and no sooner.
I predict a close game in the first half with NIU probably leading. Second half we play about the same and eke out a victory. Better than a loss but not reassuring.I predict a first half blowout punctuated with a second half close game and complacency that comes back to bite the team. This team needs to show it can play 4 quarters and prove the stigma wrong.
