i thought he looked pretty good as well. He looked like he belonged out there. Some guys are just gamers. I did like the catch Betts had where it was pretty high but he met the ball instead of waiting for it like some of the other guys seem to do so they can get tackled right after they catch it.
Yes, we’ve been hearing this for a long time. But the problem this week is it’s not applicable to the Northwestern game. We simply had no foot and couldn’t begin to find their neck. I never felt we were in any position to put them away. It was just a pile of errors, penalties and bad play calling imo. Undisciplined and uninspired. Fix those things and we can begin talking about finishing off teams.....again. The only reason the game was close at all is because Northwestern basically sucks. Sure they don’t kill themselves and play good D but they’re extremely mediocre.
I know what you're saying, and I was there too during the game, but after a rewatch this legit might be one of the best teams Fitz has ever fielded. Defensively they definitely are. Those guys were almost always in position, they wrapped up on tackles and didn't allow YAC, and they were sound.
I don’t disagree. But sonuva..., there is nobody in the B1G West with the exception of Wisconsin (and not even them this year). I am just so effin tired of struggling with teams like......I was going to list them and then realized it would be all of the teams in our division. Nobody thought we would ever struggle like this against the mediocre west. I am so sick and tired of losing games to teams who only do two freakin simple things we haven’t been able to master. They don’t beat themselves and somehow they play hard week in and week out. I can take getting beat but I really struggle with not showing up and beating ourselves.
Sorry but I will take that mistake once a game along with his other snaps vs the game AM played.
Agreed. Most of the game I was sitting there wishing Frost would become coach Boone and make em run a mile for every mistake. Sometimes I think he's too buddy, buddy and should have been a hard a$$ until his culture was fully established.
That's largely because Nebraska fans can't digest the fact that Nebraska is at best a mediocre team. It's disappointing, but that's the state of husker football right now. I'm sick of losing to Northwestern, too, but that is our reality as fans for the next 1 to 3 years. I hope I'm wrong, but until we're consistently getting top 10 recruiting classes, or developing underrated guys like Wisconsin, our future is a mediocre team that will gladly take an 8 win season.
It's not going to be 1 to 3 years. We have the talent right now. We lack discipline and consistency. Scott isn't wrong when he says this team is ready to turn the corner. It's obvious to anyone watching objectively. They just need to find a way to do it.
