What in the heck is wrong with our offense?

At the end of the day, here's the deal.

Scott Frost is (still) an offensive play design genius. it's why he was successful in oregon and UCF. their conferences are filled with teams who just either aren't talented, or aren't beholden to having to scrap and earn every point scored on saturdays. in those conferences, you basically only have to "out-talent" your opponent to win. no issues for Scott there.

in the B1G and the SEC, no dice. if you aren't outcoaching your opponent, you aren't winning. that's it. look at teams from those conferences with great recruiting, but poor coaching - Tennessee, Florida State, Michigan, Texas A&M, and to an extent Georgia and Penn state. it's why we've seen certain coaches flame out in the SEC and B1G, despite being heralded. here's where Scott just doesn't have the required skillset.

Teams/Head Coaches that have the prerequisite attention to details and intentionality about personnel, schemes, and special teams are the ones who are successful. Frost just doesn't have that. you can out-playdesign all you want, but if you lack the will to prepare and compete at that level in all phases of the game, and the required attention to detail to prepare your team down to an individual level, you just won't succeed in those conferences. 

Something else that those coaches have is a certain amount of humility to take self-inventory and look inwards. no hubris. where you see hubris at this level of football, you see underachievers. and that's what Scott Frost is at this level.

He may well be successful at the next job he has, but don't let that fool you. if he doesn't develop the right skillset, he'll never be successful in the SEC or B1G.

To an extent yes. we were already good and dominating the Big 8, but not necessarily nationally in the same way. Nebraska was able to realize the deficiency and correct it.. merged good to great talent with the best attention to detail and fundamentals in the country. took them to the top naturally.

Frost, not so much.

What year in Osborne's tenure are you referring to correcting the deficiency?

 
you guys is making a big deal out of nothing.. Illinois is amazing team, we played them away, they have new coach Bret Bielama.. Huskers made some easily mistakes to fix an wont happen again. Frost will coach mistakes out of team because thats what he does. Look at UCF when he coached there. The players made some whoops but Frost didnt kick the PATs, kick the punt, tell the lineman to drive enemy QB into ground nullifying the INT, or tell guy to catch kickoff in endzone. Besides that whoops was only a Deuce on the scorebored, no biggie. So relax guys we should prolly go 9-3 only losing to OSU/OK an get the B1GW title

yee of little faith.. we had kind of a bad game ok, first game of season, dont give up and be defeatist. give frost some slack he's still building just like harbaugh. We might have some troubles with iowa but wisky and minn arent to be worried about look at last year
