The team keeps fighting even in the Ohio State game. Physical and mental maturity is needed, something that may not be a freshman or sophomore strength. Two more years can make a big difference

I was teetering on this vote. Our defense is definitely better than last year, but still has a long ways to go. Offensively, last years group of seniors were more important than we thought.

We can't see the improvements in game day statistics and score, but I believe the most important thing Scott has brought to us is a unified belief that will return us to a tradition of excellence.

Look at the roster, out of 150 players approximately 100 are lower classman. Fan expectation is unrealistic. There is a reason Frost was given a 7 year contract. It is painful but will change.

I agree with Linda. I get it’s year 2, but this offense is too finesse and soft for the Big 10. I’m sure it will get better, but I wish we were still doing Power I. Hard to prepare for.

This time last year we were trending upward, AM was a straight stud even in games we lost, and every game looked a little better than the one before it. This year they honestly look like 2017.

I feel the cupboard was pretty bare when Frost arrived. We made some good gains the first year. Now we have a lot of younger guys and very little depth so we have had less success,

These coaches have stressed the 3 star and development route. I do not think these untested coaches are doing a good job of teaching fundamentals. As coach T said its a game of blocking and tackling

I think most fans were expecting too much after Frost's amazing rebuild of the UCF team. This is the big 10!! We also thought that Martinez would be even better in his 2nd year.

The O- line has taken a step back and I have not seen improvement since the South Alabama game. Also, the D- line got pushed around by a mediocre offensive line.

I'm concerned simply because Coach Frost was so totally wrong with his own assessment of the progress of this team before the season started. Pre-season we were all sure of a 9-10 or even 11 win 2019.

Scott said this was going to be a major rebuild and I think this will prove true. Neither OL or DL look anything like the physical specimens we had in the 90s, as an example.

Take a page from Mike Leach at WSU, who told his team they were " slow, fat and lazy". Then, he took away all social media platforms to them. No Wistroms or Glovers for the same reason?

I was at the game in Minneapolis... I’ve never seen Nebraska lines get thrown around like rag dolls, especially on defense. It could have easily had been 70-0. There’s NO excuse for getting blown out.

Two years after Riley I still see the same errors occurring. Turnovers, killer penalties, poor tackling. How long can you blame Riley's staff before you start blaming Frost's? (And I love Scott BTW)

Very young team. Many left when Frost came in. Regarding line play, we use to reload on both sides of the line. Many were Fifth year seniors. Takes time to develop line play with consistency.

Overall play is down compared to late last season. No improvements have been seen since game 1. Coaches talk positive but on field play doesn’t reflect the talk. At this rate, two more years needed

Still beating ourselves with penalties at critical times. Still getting beat on both sides of line. Still missing too many tackles. Lack of depth everywhere.

Too bad it is not a yes or no answer. This team has taken a step back in every area except defense where it is about the same. OL, QB, WR, RB are not where we ended last session.

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.
