Can Trev get rid of the football program here too?

 

[Pasadena Husker]

And somewhere Steve Peterson is laughing…

anid Solich, and Calahan, and  Eichorst, and Pelline, and Riley

We have not improved at all…our performance in year four is as atrocious as it was in year one. I can actually argue that we played better in year one under Frost. Which says more about Riley’s team than Frost’s coaching

This is why it makes zero sense to keep Frost employed. Zero improvement. Why is there an expectation that things will improve when they haven’t from year one to now? 

 

[BoNeyard]

Why didnt we stick with McCaffrey? At least he knew to take off and run when a play broke down.

Frost staying with Martinez cost him. Absolute shame.

Get a stop D. 

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

a sack here would be nice

 

[mnhusker]

Maybe Frost thinks he  needs to lose all the games than next year he can win em all.

 

[huskerfan74]

Look at how disciplined a Bret bielema team is compared to a Frost disaster

 

[lo country]

Losing is the worst thing that could happen to this program.  All the buy in, belief, trust is gone.  The "system" didn't work. The scheme didn't work.  The plan didn't work.....

 

[dspanther05]

Nebraska football is official dead.

 

[BoNeyard]

Martinez gets sacked twice on this drive to ruin all hope of a comeback

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Why didnt we stick with McCaffrey? At least he knew to take off and run when a play broke down.

Frost staying with Martinez cost him. Absolute shame.

McCaffrey was an INT-throwing machine. Didn't have the arm strength, same problem w/ Smothers.

s it time to think about starting one of the young Qbs so they have experience for next year while at the same time hitting the transfer portal for a senior QB? That negates the excuse for a bad season next year because our Qbs are inexperienced.

I wondered the same thing, but let’s just hope the new coach brings in someone with them.

 

[C-4]

This is the same feeling I had in Riley’s last year.

hopeless.

With Riley’s last season, the feeling of hopelessness was for the regime.

With this regime, because we threw the kitchen sink at our problems and still suck even worse, the hopelessness is now for the future of the team.

Illinois’ O Line is owning our D Line. Ugh. 

I mean theyre dominating the time of possession 31 to 18... what else do u expect in a 100 degree weather game?

This is why we sorely need a running game with a pulse.. it literally defined us in our heyday and im just at a loss as to why we continue to neglect it
