What did we learn? (The NW edition, sponsored by the MASH 4077)

I get that but it also lets the starter know a certain level of performance is expected of him. A bit of a wake up call. I know our center and OL (and receivers) are a huge part of the problem but the OL was nothing special last year and 2AM played much better then. It’s far from all his fault but he has not been the same player this year. When you can’t get the offense going, repeatedly, it’s time to sit for a series.

Sure, but that is VERY different than what most posters have said/thought.

If Johnny backup comes in for his series and goes 6/6 for 90 yards and a TD...you are keeping him in.

If he goes 1-1 for minus 3 yards and a punt...you pull him and tell the starter "okay, now that you are relaxed and focused...go win us this game"

Not saying there should be a quarterback controversy, but to be fair, two of the incompletions were him wisely throwing the ball away.

Which speaks to our WR not getting open which is part of why Martinez has "struggled."

Yeah but in many of those situations he has taken a sack or forced a bad throw/turned it over.

I am not kidding, do not discount this type of win.  This type of win tends to be worth more than just one W.

Its devolved into just get robinson the ball. He's the entire offense. 

Seriously, where is all the team speed we heard about? The fast small receivers and all world running backs? It’s like there are only two offensive players on the field at any given time

I learned that Big10 officials don’t hate Nebraska. They are just completely inept and playing a game that they officiate is like trying to stop terrorism. You never know when, how or who they will strike next

It’s hubris like this that hurts Frost and this staff more than they know

It needs to be worth TWO W's

Recievers are getting open though you can really see it at the game. I think from play to play different things break down. One play we have a reciever running open deep and the O line can't protect quite long enough. Next play the O line protects for 5 seconds and there is no one open. Next play Martinez finds an open reciever and overthrows him, or thows it behind him or the reciever drops it. It's tough to watch

Yes, I think it's all this. However people look at all three of these scenarios and just blame Martinez. He hasn't been perfect and maybe not even as good as last year, but he's not as bad as people are making him out.

That I completely agree with

No I quoted you when I wanted to quote what you quoted. My bad. 

I was referring to Frosts comments that you were talking about
