Post Minnesota Game Thoughts/Rest of the season

Really want to the staff to consider changing the O-line. While Juergens gets a lot of heat for the snaps, he is a legit blocker; and everyone else is subpar.  

Outside of Dewitt, I don't think anyone should be asked to leave. With our OLBs playing the way they are, we are down two every snap.

Kade Warner needs to start over Noa. Move Washington to slot WR. Burn Johnson’s shirt. Instant upgrade.

Yep. Why have a slow sure handed receiver that runs good routes and hs a knack for getting  open when you can have a burner that well, doesn't so any of that....Not to mention blocks great.

Kade has been injured, I believe? It was good to have him back tonight. We need a tall receiver.

 
Frost is struggling in his transfer from AAC to big time college football. I don't think he was quite ready mentally what it takes and the huge needs of the program when he was hired. One good year in a situation where turnarounds are easy, is not building a program like Nebraska needed. He is learning on the fly.

We're paying Scott 5 million per year. He needs to wake the f#&% up. Needs to hire the people necessary to get the results. Period.

If it would avoid another 3 years of this?  Yes.  In a heart beat.  Against OSU, I saw a glimmer of the Husker Power he mentioned.  I think had TO continued coaching, you'd see an evolved O predicated on RPO/Zone reads with counters and traps.  you can run Frost's O under center in the I, in pistol or shotgun and two back sets.  I'm just a fan of one predicated on power vs finesse. 

Time he puts the money where his mouth is.  Show me the Power.

What you are seeing is the sum lack of effort in recruiting over the last 3 years. There is no depth at WR, OL, LB or C. If, hypothetically, Frost were to entirely retool his offense (and go away from everything he's learned over the last 10 years as a coach), you will see another 4-5 years of this exact result, because you will not have the players necessary to run that type of offense, and you will have essentially wasted 4 years of recruiting effort that this staff has already put in for their desired type of offense.

You don't pull a guy that needs reps and that you think will be good...for a guy that you literally were hoping was going to leave the team.

I disagree. No sense getting Vedral more dinged up in a lost cause when you’ll probably need him for future games. Pulling him had nothing to do with his play tonight. He put Bunch in precisely because we don’t need him going forward. Besides that, ain’t no QB going to do much of anything with this OL and that room full of receivers that can’t get open or block on the perimeter.
