Nobody will ever really know how talented guys that Riley recruited were. They weren’t coaches, developed, put through any strength and conditioning at all. However, from what I see this year, the talent on defense is average to poor the offensive line is pretty average, as well.
And Lamar Jackson- turns out he might be a-ok. He's not going to win any awards but that doesn't mean he doesn't have potential.
Yep, Frost coached his team to have the starting QB get injured against CU, and to have the starting safety deliver a personal foul penalty on 3rd and 20.
So is Frost not culpable at all? I think you are overexaggerating my point that I'm not to the point of trusting Frosts' late game decision making and THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T THINK HE'S A GOOD COACH. He doesn't seem to have any consistency with his play calling in these situations and this is why I don't necessarily trust his ability to do the right thing. In the Colorado game, he needed to eat clock but went uptempo. Can't exactly remember the Troy game, but it was the opposite. Northwestern was a coaching brain fart. Today I really can't fault, it just didn't work out, but at some point even with a random coin flop, you need to do better than 0-4.
Ooh- so ColoradoHusker agreed with me. Clever. and you got a +1 for the superhot facepalm take
Yes, losing close games are frustrating. But, it’s almost like you are blaming Frost and the staff more for losing a game by 6 against Ohio State, even when they were 17 point underdog. Don’t Frost, the staff, and the players get credit for making it a close game, even when most people expected a blowout loss? Maybe you are the exception, because you even posted that you “expect Nebraska to win every game”. I am a super homer for NU, and even I don’t expect NU to win every game. Do I hope they win every game, sure. I think they have a shot to win almost every game. But I don’t go in “expecting” NU to win every game. Those don’t seem like very healthy or realistic expectations.
I guess I see it different. I do expect them to win every game they play, and when they don't, I try to figure out why they didn't. I wouldn't be a Husker fan anymore if I turned on the tv and said to myself "Self, I just hope we don't get embarrassed today" or "Self, I hope everyone does the best they can" I don't care about the spread or the opponent at all. I am not blind. Today's team is not the same team that played Colorado or even Michigan, they're much better, but they are still not good enough- yet. I don't blame Frost at all-and in fact his discipline in coaching is starting to show- but just like the Nebraska team that played Colorado is not the same one that played Ohio State today, Coach Frost is not the same coach- he's evolved too. But I do find that I don't trust his decisions in the last few minutes of a game because he hasn't had much success in those situations- and in fact- he's had no success- yet. He's a warrior, he'll figure it out and until he does. I'm going to be skeptical of the last few minutes of close games.
Correct. We were only dominated once this year, by Michigan. Today Penn State din't look any better than Nebraska did against Michigan. Since SE took over, we were curb stomped several times per year.
