Year 2 Regression Under Frost

Nebraska finished Frost's first season at 4-2  for a .667 winning percentage, and the two losses coming to Ohio State and Iowa by a total of 8 points.  We are now more than halfway through the 2019 season, and to match the .667 winning percentage we would have to finish 8-4 which is possible but unlikely.  Nebraska has a much more favorable 2019 schedule than it had in 2018.  There is much talk that culture is part of the problem, but there are fewer Riley guys on the 2019 team than we had on the 2018 team, so that does not seem to be a valid reason for regression.

If you believe this team has regressed in 2019 from where they ended 2018, why do you believe that has happened?  

 
Is the schedule that much easier this year?

Colorado seems about the same

South Alabama/Northern Illinois and Troy/Bethune-Cookman are a wash

Wisconsin is better this year than they were last

Ohio State is better this year than they were last

Minnesota is way better this year than they were last

Illinois seems better this year than they were last

Iowa seems slightly better this year than last

Indiana is a slightly worse opponent than Michigan State was

Purdue is worse than they were last year

Maryland is worse than Michigan

We have Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Iowa at home.  We don't play Michigan in 2019...we also have a Purdue team that is losing to just about every team.  There is a reason that pundits felt Nebraska could be a darkhorse...and one of those reasons was the favorable schedule we had.  

Do you feel we have not regressed? If so, please explain why.

 
The plays on 3rd down today were just horrible. So many times we had 3rd and 3 or 4 for a first down. We were in 4 down territory almost every time. Just get some positive yards and go for it on 4th if you must. But no, we try and run wide on many of them and lOSE yards! So we have to punt.

Frost needs to take a hard look at the play calling! Way to predictable, we are either "tipping" the play with the way we are lining up or just flat out missing blocks.

Frost is an average coach at best

Yes I think Moos made the WRONG decision in bringing Frost here.  He will soon finish his 4th season as a head coach and likely will have only one winning season out of four unless we somehow win the final 3 games.  That is not a good head coaching resume.  Scott needs to realize he is in over his head and convince Moos to open up the budget to hire a real OC and DC.

Because contrary to what Frost said would happen, the Big Ten has adjusted to Frost and his staff way faster than Frost and his staff have adjusted to the Big Ten.
