*** The Official Nebraska @ Illinois Game Thread ***

[Husker4Real]

I'd love to give credit to those that predicted a smooth, efficient, scoring drive for Illinois to open the 2nd half...but any of us could have predicted that.

We've already checked every box on the Scott Frost resume.

• Special teams gaffe
  
• Catastrophic Penalties
  
• Back-breaking turnover
  
• Out-coached at half-time

And just like that my feelings for the season are now numb & gone

D is gassed

And just like that my feelings for the season are now numb & gone 

I’m left with sadness. What the hell else does this state have? 

 

[LumberJackSker]

What a surprise, coming out flat for the second half. No fire, no sense of urgency.

They're comfortable losing

Actually the last time we played Illinois they stomped a mud hole in our asses.

The last time we played them was in 2019-right?

Game over

 

[The Duke]

Kind of scary to think about it, but that feels like ball game.

 

[BoNeyard]

That’s how you throw to a wide open target in the end zone 4 year starter Martinez

I’m left with sadness. What the hell else does this state have? 

I don’t live there you guys can take back the football part. I’ll just be a chiefs fan.

Adrian will complete 28 of 30 when down 49.  It will help his season completion %%

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

That was a garbage call and game went all downhill from there.  We aren’t good enough to overcome those calls.  That was the BEST play of the game and it ends up with 30 yards for Illinois.  Just a complete farce.  Like I said good teams can overcome.

stop making excuses. It was the right call.

Who'da ever thunk Nebraska would have Basketball and Baseball teams on the rise while the football program sinks slowly in the West?

 

[Hammerhead]

That's fair. May need to open up the wallet for some new coordinators. 

At this point, it needs to happen.  I'm not convinced that we can win with Frost at this point, but at least if we start looking for better coordinators he might at least give the impression that he wants to win.

What does this tell you about Frost and his coaching staff if after four years he cannot find a decent QB to lead this team…and I do not buy the BS that no good QB wants to come to Nebraska. Even Riley had better offenses…

Frost isn't the answer.  It's painfully clear.
