Game 5 and no improvement. None.  ST horrific.  Penalties.  

Thats what worries me.  No improvement. At all. Actually worse since CU IMHO.  

We're probably not going to see aot of improvement from those on our roster who just aren't good football players.

We can't just put 2nd stringers in.....Wisconsin will destroy them.

Breathe my man.  Schematically, there are some real bright spots.

We have a major talent issue.  You can send Mile Riley a thank you note for that.

 

[lo country]

29 rush yards and you expect to be competitive?????

And Bell quit to watch Oz get 1 touch....

 

[Nebhawk]

We have enough talent to be competitive. Coming into this season our 4-Year team recruiting average was better than Wisconsins and the rest of the Wests team. We should not be winless no matter how bad the last staff was.

Dont do that, just dont do that.  We haven't recruited Big 10 talent, Wisky has.  We havnt developed talent now for several years.  Just watch the players on the field.  We don't compare in speed, physicality, or toughness.  Don't compare recruiting numbers, that is one of the misleading number lines in all of college sports unless you can develop some of those players.

Sea changes take a while and a lot of effort. Coach Frost will get players that aren't afraid of hard work.

Let's try some run plays this half

We don't have the horses on the OL and we're missing blocks in the back field and the perimeter....that's no fault of Frost right now.

Farniok and Foster aren't playing well in this game but our offense is actually improving.

But our defense is seriously terrible. Miller, Bootle, Aaron Wiliams, and Barry are serviceable guys. The rest of this roster is just not good. Going to have to graduate some guys and just start fresh.

 

Wrong, every time you’re asked to block for more than five seconds , it’s not too much to ask that you don’t commit an idiotic blocking penalty and ruin the drive.

They need to be benched.

You can blame a lot on talent, but coaching has to factor in.  The only reason the staff is getting raked over the coals is because it’s Frost.  I get it.  I’ll be the first to say patience.  Trust the process, but game 5, I see no process. What is it?  I’m all N, but damn....Bell sits and quits and we rush 1 time. WTF IS that?

I agree and have said that we should hold Frost and his staff accountable just as we would have if Riley or Pelini or any other first year coach was winless at this point and putting a terrible product on the field. 

 

[It'sNotAFakeID]

That’s what worries me.  You’d think we’d see something.  No penalties, better punting, play calling......I got nothing

You know - the 1st quarter and about mid way through the 2nd quarter looked pretty good. 

Wisconsin was having to earn their yardage, which they were, because they're a better team. But nothing was easy. The problem was that the offense couldn't stay on the field and the defense tired out. Add in one Lamar Jackson and you have a few big plays through the air, then a TD to Wisconsin. 

Next offensive drive was good until Foster and Farniok managed to take us back with 25 yards worth of penalties. 

I'm getting sick and tired of Foster. He's had a big penalty in the last two games that has absolutely DERAILED a drive. 

 

[Waldo]

Will Nebraska go 0-12 W/L and against the spread? 

 

[lo country]

Honest question. When Bo moved to the B1G, he underestimated how it was to play in this conference.  It’s only game 5, but is it possible this staff underestimated or didn’t truly understand this conference.  Just trying to find some sunshine instead of we are talentless....

 

[NebraskaHarry]

Offense sucks.. defense sucks.. special teams sucks.. coaches sucks.. Nebraska sucks.

Oh and the refs sucks

I am not saying all star ranking are accurate, but I also dont think you can simply say a lack of talent is why we continue to lose and commit multiple mistakes in games.  Blaming talent alone is a cop out for not wanting to hold the staff accountable to.

 

[Stone Cold]

This stuff is really hard to watch.  I just want us to compete.

 

[Hayseed]

True, we spent almost a quarter of the game with s#!tty play calling and Martinez still doesn’t know when to throw the ball out of bounds.
