Nebraska Week

I had the pleasure of watching Scott Frost's press conference after their game with Illinois on Saturday. Here is what I learned.

1) The players learned they can't win one game, then just show up and expect to win the rest.
2) The players didn't have any juice and weren't excited to play Illinois.
3) The players made too many mistakes and the Nebraska coaches need to fix it.
4) Nebraska has a lot of talent on their roster, but it's not showing up on Saturdays yet.
5) The coaches had a great gameplan, but the players didn't execute it.
6) That Scott Frost inherited a program that needed to be rebuilt, and the culture needed to be changed. (yes...he went there...three years into his tenure as coach.)

If you have a chance to watch it, it's pretty revealing that Frost basically accepts absolutely no responsibility for their losses and blames his players. He seriously didn't take any responsibility. It really is a must watch. He talks about when he played and how different things were, and what coach Osborne preaches, etc. He throws his players completely under the bus. If that is leadership...I don't want any, thank you very much.

We need to bitch slap them this week and put another loss on that douche-rocket's resume. That press conference was proof to me that he's freaking delusional. This is what happens when you give a guy with a 9-15 record a contract extension through 2026.

Let's hope we stay healthy and they stay healthy so the game gets played.

If what you said is the way he said it then yes he is lame. As a coach you can get on your players in the locker room, the weight room, or in team meetings and the office but not out in public.

Let me ask you a question because I probably wont watch the hump, did frost say anything about the Illini playing well and better than his team?
 
Frosty is all name recognition and no substance, IMHO.

We'll see how he ultimately does at Nebby, but yesterday may have provided a strong clue. They still seem to get rolled on defense.

HILLBILLY Little red Warning!!!

Heck shoot, we going up against dem Hocks again...don't thems know we's the real deal in the Big 10. If it warnt for dem crooks in de Big 10 office, we's would be unbeeten write now. Who's play bucks right out of the shoot? Hocks gotten nothin on Frost. He nos how to win and wes be champs real soon. Ya'all see. GO BIG RED!!!
 
I watched Frost's presser last night and I would disagree that he didn't take any responsibility. Multiple times he included "coaches" in his list of what needs to get better. 2 weeks ago at his presser he looked like an embarrassed, humbled man, and literally said "we're going to need to start over" or something close to that. He also admitted that he didn't see his team's performance on Sat coming, which is also an admittance of his own shortcoming, indirectly. But he knows he and his coaching staff need to get better -- that's obvious. After coaching in the Pac12 he had no idea of what BTen defenses looked like until game day. I'm not surprised he's struggling: when he was O-coordinator and brought his 'unstoppable' Oregon offense up against Ohio St. in a bowl game, I think the Ducks scored 17 pts.
I'm no Scott Frost fan, especially with the arrogance he came with into the league.

This day and age if you don't have a stud DC you're not going anywhere. Too bad Frost can't just go back to UCF or someplace just like it. He's just not a HC at the big-boy level, and certainly not at a pretend blue-blood. Nebby should've hired the next up and coming DC as head coach. They're learning a lesson that's going to be difficult from which to recover, no matter how much money they can throw at it.
 
Iowa has a first year QB who is just getting his feet under him. If anyone thinks any B10 game right now is in the bag...they are crazy. Just go back to Purdue...turnovers evened out that game pretty damn quickly...it can happen with Nebraska too.

We have momentum right now...we have put Petras in a situation where he can succeed and the biggest thing is that we are running the ball and playing really good defense. I like our chances against Nebraska based on what I saw last week...but I fully expect Martinez to start this game and him to play well. Frost knows they haven't beaten us in 5 years too...there is your motivation.

I completely disagree if you felt that was a guy taking responsibility for what happened against Illinois. I never heard him say, it starts with me, it's my responsibility to get the guys ready to play, it's my responsibility to have a game plan that keeps a team from running up 500 yards of offense.
I'm sure I watch it through some Hawkeye goggles...but I'm telling you...i didn't see or hear what you obviously did.
 
Words from Shawn Eichort, AD at Nebraska, who fired Pellini. The Nebraska disdain should never ever be forgotten.. Bulletin Board material for the ages.

“Our kids showed great character and resiliency in a tough environment,” Eichorst said, “so it did play a factor. But in the final analysis, I had to evaluate where Iowa was.”

Eichorst even gave more of a response to a follow-up question about Iowa.

“As I looked back on the outcomes, I’m trying to look back at who are championship-caliber football teams at that moment and how competitive we were in those games.
 
What else will Nebraska do to stop Iowa with the exception of loading the box and forcing Petras to beat them?

Hmmmmm

That reminds me of a basketball coach at Iowa once upon a time. Is Nebraska now a "Basketball School"??
 
As usual, a game like this is kind of a double-edged sword. I think Nebraska will come out with a lot of fire. It’s hard to get a team ‘up’ for Illinois, and they played like they hadn’t paid any attention during practice. That won’t be the case for this game, unless he’s flat-out lost the team. So I think we’ll need to take that fire away early.....if we don’t it’ll be a close one.

On the other hand, having watched Nebraska’s games, we’re clearly the better team, especially up front. On offense, they have McCaffery and Wandale. Both are very talented. Assuming they don’t go back to Martinez or start one of their other young QBs, McCaffery is a much more talented runner than Levis, but having seen a running QB last week should help us. McCaffery isnt polished at all as a thrower, so if we can contain him on the ground and limit Robinson’s impact, our D should be fine. And Levis was 13/16 throwing last week but still didn’t get it done. And our offense should be able to move the ball. We’ll need to take controlled rush lanes and not let McCaffery outside the pocket, but we know how to do that.

if Frost has lost the team, it’ll be a blow out. But I don’t think he has, so again as usual, this is going to be about taking their fire away in the first 5-7 minutes of each half, not giving the ball away, and just play our game. If we do that, it shouldn’t be close.
