Targeting is the worst rule in the college game today.

It's one of the few times where the NFL gets it right. Just call it a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty and move on with the game.

Please stop. Just stop. Contrary to popular belief, there is no conspiracy against Nebraska.

Yes there is. It's in the best interest of the Big10 if Nebraska is trash. The big10 likes not making money from sending Nebraska to bowl games. Also a bad Nebraska will do wonders next time the negotiate tv contracts.

Smothers sputters

Feels like Martinez has been a mixed bag of results at times, but he’s been so good on 3rd and short. Think he would have converted that. Nothing against Smothers.

 

[Decked]

I'm so tired of "targeting." Dismuke goes to tackle, and the runner puts his helmet down.

I agree. But I’m not sure how in 4 years CTB, Williams, & Dismuke never learned how to tackle. 

 

[lo country]

needed to get that drive....

 

[Hagg]

Haha, they’re trying to retro a play saying saying targeting. Just shut up and get out.  :lol:

Iowa fan announcer?

 

[LumberJackSker]

Frost forgot how to offense again.

 

[Decked]

Wish we could’ve gotten a FG. 

 

[BoNeyard]

Our QBs must be taught to go through all their deep progressions first, then go through the deep progressions again, then go through deep progressions again, before ever checking down or just taking off to run.

 

[huskerfan74]

Our punting is so inconsistent….It would have been nice if smothers didn’t trip on his own guy. We would still be driving

 

[The Duke]

SF get your face out of that play book and watch the game to see who is winning their battles and exploit that with plays.  Watch the game!

He will next year. He knows this is his last time calling plays before he become a "CEO Head Coach" <----I'll believe this when I see it.

 

[lo country]

We can't keep giving Iowa chances to tie.  Frost needs to go into "what plays will work" portion of his book and use those.

 

[Decked]

Frost forgot how to offense again.

That was on Smothers. True freshman happy feet & tripped getting to the first.

Have we figured out the guy in shades by Frost is?
