What Did We Learn? - Bethune-Cookman

I learned that we can beat FCS teams...thank God. However, more importantly, I learned that I would not trade Scott Frost for any other coach in the nation including the annoying Nick Saban.

Scott Frost is classy, genuine, and embodies everything that is Nebraska Huskers. I am confident that he will get Nebraska back to competing for championships very soon. 

I am still not sold on the defense coordinator. BC is not a juggernaut and our defense did give up some real state and some big plays. Ohio state will play angry at home. They will come down on us like an avalanche. Our offense can score, but can this defense stop the buckeyes? I remain very skeptical.

Finally, I stand by my earlier statements that Mazour is a very good player and deserves some playing time. He can be as good as Ozigbo and Washington if given a chance.

Eh. Not so fast there buddy.

 
Yes that is the photo of the trustee and former bballer getting Runzas.  OWH has the article saying as much.   Still comical though.  And at least they didn’t truly lower their standards and go for the pizza

 
This game had the feel of a spring game. Too early to tailgate. Parking was easy. I got tickets for a great price and took my daughter.  There were lots of kids there and many of them at their first game. Most of the team got to play. And like a spring game an almost guaranteed win :)

Better at the game then on the game thread. Much more positive. A lot fewer drunks.

I didn't see the safety on Vedral's long interception either. I was watching from his angle and thought TD!

I'm looking forward to more of these types of games in the future. Where people that put in years of work, get a chance to play and be cheered by an almost full stadium.

FSU fans are depressed because they hired the wrong coach.  WT is the recruiter they need but until he tells his OC and DC "Do what you think will work"...FSU is screwed.

When Game Day kicked off this year, IIRC they said he would make the quickest impact with all the talent he had at FSU....Hasn't panned out yet.

I've always thought he was a good coach, but not a great one.  Guess time will tell after year 0.  (Which i think is a ridiculous term, and an excuse).

I will add that the last two weekends of football have shown me that we're not as far off as I had been starting to fear. With purdue and northwestern looking good in big wins, we are in the middle of the pack and not on the bottom despite our record.

I would agree.  That and the national recognition players are getting and the stats the O is putting up and general "eye test" improvement we are seeing.  I still think we are a few years off from being a constant contender, but moving steadily in the right direction.  Looking forward to seeing how we do against OSU.

Other than the wins, we are where we should be. Caught a lot of bad breaks, didn't capitalize on some...that's a 3 or 4 game swing.  How high this thing eventually goes, as we all know, comes down to recruiting. Some really good there, but lacking at a few key positions.

I think what this year is showing is we should, at a minimum, be highly competitive in the West, and honestly only behind PSU/Mich/OSU because they'll out recruit us most of the time. This team, in the last few weeks, has shown they can overcome adversity and grind through this learning year. 

 
One thing I didn't learn was, WTH was the personal foul called?  They never did explain that or show on tv what happened.  Anyone see what actually happened?
