Were we better last year?

[RedSavage]

Just so I understand - we're gonna use the same defense that we used for Mike Riley's first year, and we're comfortable with it being a good justification? 

No he didn't.

Yes, he did.  We were lucky to win those 4 games last year

No, he said that last week. Some things he DID say before the season were, "This isn't a rebuilding year", and "this isn't year zero". He did say some other things to temper expectations, but he very clearly made a bad assessment in where we were. 

You’re right, think I’m still drunk from last night.

It’s far too early in the season to know if we were better last year. I’ll let you know in December

 

[Crusader Husker]

We didn’t quit this early last year.

Frost pretty much took over an 0-12 team for the second time.

I'm pretty much in favor of giving Frost Kirk Ferentz status here until he's ready to retire, but I can't be the only one to find humor in this level of mental gymnastics to defend the unsatisfactory job he's done so far, right?

Frost would be far far better off with Pelini players than this bunch of mid-major guys Riley recruited.

You’re right, it should not be this bad and coaches are partially to blame but I think we have a bunch of scrubs for players.  They’re not all bad but seems there’s more bad than good to me.

2017 Nebraska would be a 10 point favorite over 2018 Nebraska. 

And they would cover.

Did we watch the same season last year? This is basically a continuation of last year's awfulness and add in a new scheme.

We did. And I stand by my statement. 

 

[Fru]

Sham of a program right now. 

 

[NebraskaHarry]

I'm not sure what Frosts plan is but this isn't working right now. 

 

[husker_rob]

How can we possibly be this bad?

 

[gbrnu1]

It shows how very far Huskers had fallen under the past coaches.  I believe Frost will get them back on track but it will take time. The culture has to be overturned completely.

When Martinez is healthy and we are willing to run him, I think we are better this year. When we play Bunch or limit Martinez in the run game, we are no better than last year and arguably worse bc we don't have Lee.

I think it's hilarious.
