Our O-Line is terrible.

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Same old crap. Holding onto the ball way too long.

 

[HuskerJax]

Or not

Follow your blockers WanDale, keep going to the outside and thats easily a first down.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

That cut back lane is there for them everytime when they want it. 

 

[lo country]

Lol of course they go 3 and out.  Great coaching 

This is what is starting to concern me.  

 

[VectorVictor]

Our O-Line is terrible.

Ozigbo and Morgan really helped mask a lot of deficencies last year. 

 

[krc1995]

Our O-Line is terrible.

Every facet tof the offense is terrible.  Hard to pin it on just one group.  

 

[CheeseHusker]

If we can't run the ball better than Illinois, what chance do we have in this league?

 

[mnhusker]

Team comes out with no fight.. hate that

 

[LumberJackSker]

Our O-Line is terrible.

He had plenty of time on 3rd down to tuck it and run if no one was open.

We're down against Illinois, yet Nebraska Jr. whipped Michigan with 350 rush yards and 47 mins of TOP with zero turnovers. I get that the finesse spread offense works for the Ohio State's, the Oregon's, etc. Just feel like on offense, we have no identity. On paper, it appears they want to be balanced. Our best recruiter is Ryan Held and he usually ranks in the top 40-50 in recruiter rankings. To me, that isn't good enough and it's beginning to show.

As much as I agree with the frustration, we have to understand that Frost is as much an investment as Martinez is as a quarterback. I don’t think there is anyone better to lead our team, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t also have to learn and grow. It’s not easy to be patient given the Riley years, but they did significant damage. The biggest frustration for me is seeing our team so in our head, that we can’t get out of our own way. 

 

[Ziebol]

We are the joke of the west.

 

[MLB 51]

Getting pushed around by freakin Illinois.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

No one on our D-line had their hands up in the passing lanes
