30 minutes to save your job Scott.

Yes and amen.

 

[LumberJackSker]

Nebraska's defensive coaches needs to figure out who their best 11 are at halftime. A bunch of rotating and no pressure and bad tackling.

 

[thexyz]

Secondary needs to step it up. And bring some heat. 

 

[tjax03]

Maybe he and Nelson got in a fight at a casino 

So this was confirmed true?

I cant find anything on it

 

[lo country]

So what exactly have the 3 Captains that play defense done in practice to deserve the honor?????  Yell the loudest????  

Set an example with your play on the field.

Didn't see it from them at all...  D looked lost and unorganized at times.  And missed way too many tackles.

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Sorry, they are grabbing onto our boys jerseys and keeping them from getting to the qb 

 

[Rich N]

The good: Thompson and some receivers. 

The bad: Everything else.

Tell tales you're going to lose a game:

You lose momentum gradually throughout the first half.

You leave a lot of opportunities on the field.

Opponent can successfully manage the clock.

You miss a FG before half.

You're losing at half.

My 1st Half turning point?  Can't get a stop up 14-3.  They couldn't do it.  

Gotta change or there's going to be a new head man.  

Can Scott allow Whipple and Chin to control his destiny?  

Will the players be loose or press knowing what's on the line?

 

[The Dude]

- Will Frost and Whipple maintain their role balance?

Why would this even be a question?  It's not like Trev made Frost go get a new OC just to give him the option to take the offense back any time he wants.  Whipple never would have never agreed to that.

Feels like the Illinois opener

 

[Hayseed]

Aside from Thompson, this team doesn't look nearly as good as a typical Solich team. Have we pressured their QB once?

 

[Packerhuskerfan]

Thompson needs to keep the ball and run on some of those run plays.  He does not need to be Martinez, but there needs to be the threat of the run from the QB.

 

[DefenderAO]

The good: Thompson and some receivers. 

The bad: Everything else. 

Our punter is good

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Telling all you guys that Frost was terrible. 

Maybe Frost, but not Chinander. I was always mocked and laughed at for saying I wasn’t sold 

 

[Knothole Seats @ 50 Cents]

I sure am glad we burned those 2 timeouts

They never should have been called. If we go on to lose this game it’s all on Frost.
