Terrible blocking by Jamies. We suck in red zone 

And he's the best we have...

Austin may need to go.

Would like to see us just line up and go straight ahead for a drive, less sliding to the side.

Agreed!  I thought this was one thing that Austin had mentioned in the off season. That the OL does better N-S....I'd love to see some power the next series.  Eat the clock.  Get 7 instead of 3..

Before that throw I said INT or QB draw.....

Post corners, out routes, and chairs have all been bad.

What the hell is up with these short kickoffs?! Are we just avoiding their return guy? 

 

[HuskerInLostWages]

Is this the worst red zone team in husker history?

Can't be yet, last year we were even worse, we didn't have a FG kicker.

 

[ScarletRevival]

Sweet,  tackle him forward for 5 more yards

Yes.

Iowa’s offense is so vanilla. Stretch plays and bootlegs. Basic. 

 

[PaulCrewe]

I thought Culp could kick the ball out the back of the end zone. Can we stop these pooch kicks and make them go a little further on these drives?

He can, but Frost is still fearing the special team failure last year when SMith took one to the house.  OH that was with a kicker who COULDN'T reach the endzone

And he's the best we have...

Austin may need to go.

Especially with the depth and experience...Then again, Frost might actually coach the OL as well...

Wishful thinking! I don't think Austin is getting as much influence as his title would suggest.

 

[ScarletRevival]

Trash

 

[3gunhusker]

Our new play is the pooch kick

 

[Canadian Fan]

OMG Nelson is not good..... :-(

I dont have an issue with Luke playing, but lets call plays that benefit him and the entire offense.  Option or I -formation or what ever, but this spread passing game isn't working regardless of who is QB.

Time to change something other than QB's every other possesion.  Scheme is terrible when you have 4 star players who can't seem to make things happen at QB.  Its something other than  the player.(s)  Run the damn ball!
