What Did We Learn? Michigan

We aren’t there yet. Next week, we are a different team. From there on out, we are I. Good shape. We lose at osu, every other game we can win

Come on people, we all knew this would happen - It gets worse before it gets any better.

We all knew that we would be winless after the Michigan game?

We all knew that we would have this inept of offensive line play?

We all knew that calling our special teams a dumpster fire would be an insult to dumpster fires?

I can see why we are poor at certain spots but ST is pathetic in all areas. That probably frustrates me more than anything bc I think they can control that.

This really bothers me. ST are worse than when 450 was in charge. TO won many games because of ST. Frost needs to get some advice from TO.

 
I think the main problem with our OL is quickness. The DL is by them before they move their feet. I would rather see smaller quicker lineman than behemoths that can't move.

True.  I think Frost bought into his own hype.

probably.  he is young, had a great season in his second year, was hailed by the entire fan base as the program's savior before he even coached a game, and might have thought everything he touches turns to gold.  This current experience is probably more educational then it is for his players.  will be interesting to see how it plays out.  a lot of drama-rama, that's for sure. 

 
1.  Frost has been over-hyped by all fans (me included) and we are going to have to be patient and see how we look at this time next year.  He's been a head coach for 2 seasons and had one amazing undefeated winning season.  Many of us will need to re-calibrate our expectations for what were hoping to see in Year 1 and likely in Year 2.  

2. The O-Line has been week for many years (even before Riley) and this is the heart of where Nebraska must focus to become competitive again.  The inability to move the ball and keep the offense on the field translates into a tired defense from being on the field way too long.

3.  Special teams continues to be a joke and I would expect changes in player personnel and potentially which assistant owns ST for the rest of the year.  The group is failing at football 101.

4.  Nebraska needs an identity it can rally around.  At this point all phases of the game are incohesive and nobody is doing anything well.  If the team can have at least one unit excelling that will gradually help build up confidence for the rest of the team.  

 
I learned that of all the things Nebraska has been missing over the years (talent, coaching, speed, strength, skill, work ethic) the most important piece we lost was our culture.

And even Scott Frost can't flip 20 years of bad culture in 9 months.

You did not see the beat down coming either

I learned the Irish have a pretty good offense because Michigan's defense is good and fast- I also learned that Michigan likes to use a lead blocker, weakside runs with pulling guards and centers, which absolutely confused and blew up our front 7
