Ohio State: What Did We Learn?

[Hammerhead]

I considered going with "Did We Learn Anything?" for the title, but I don't want to break the format.  Honestly, it doesn't feel like we did learn anything today.  This has been the Huskers' MO all season long against opponents with a pulse: the defense keeps us competitive but gets gassed and gives up just what the other team needs to beat us, the offense has a few big plays here and there but spends most of the game spinning its wheels, and special teams... yeah.  I don't need to say anything more about that.

I think I said something similar in another WDWL thread here: this team has heart, but heart ain't enough.

We can lose to literally anyone by single digits margins. It's kind of fascinating.

Over under on how many times close is dropped?    I mean we are but that’s about all we’ve got

The curse needs to be addressed publicly from the football program or athletic department.

Same s#!t, different day.

The O keeps folding after the D gets a huge turnover. I can’t imagine how one unit plays so hard and then watch their efforts being wasted by the other unit - got to be painful

Worst season since 1957?

I wonder how many times SF mentions “we are so close “ in his presser?

 

[skers83]

Nothing. :dunno

At this point, all I can think of is horseshoes and hand grenades.

I learned that Frost is our head coach and we are 1-2 players away.  Wash ... repeat.  This game bodes well for keeping Frost [for those that want that].   It was a fun game ... and added more irritation to the yo-yo effect of emotions.  We are still on pace to equal our first two years in terms of win/loss.  Thus, I think Scott has probably secured himself with another two-year extension.  Ha ha.

Posted this in the game thread, but it fits here, too.

This is why everyone's so frustrated. Yes, Northwestern tips the scale on this a bunch.

Nothing really learned. We play up or down to our competition. Same s#!t, different day.

You guys, we are SO CLOSE (to 4 wins).
