the onside kick was stupid

44 yards and 5 plays later its 28-24.

Prolly wishes he could have kicked it off normally instead.  Played some defense with that momentum in their favor.  I know the team was pretty pumped up.

 
Basically NW was the better team.  The Huskers could probably play better defensively but offense and STs played about as well as one could realistically have hoped.  Unless NW is Big Ten west’s best (doubtful), this team will likely be about like the last 4.  
 

Amazingly, looking back, I don’t see much difference between any of Frost’s five teams.  Which one is the best?  Assuming modest improvement this year.

His first year IMO. 

 
Enjoyed this article ...

"And in Frost’s entire coaching career, six times he’s attempted an onside. Not once have his teams succeeded in getting the ball. In all six failed attempts, the other team got at least a field goal attempt. In five of them, the opponent would score. Four of those games his team was trailing, and his team would go on to lose the game. The other two surprise attempts? They would also lose the game.

To recap: Exactly 0% of those OSK attempts worked; 100% of them allowed a scoring opportunity; 83% of them actually allowed a score; and 100% of the time his team lost."

Tell me you don't understand statistics without telling me you don't understand statistics.

So to me that means he was due. I hope he does it until it works.
