Coach Frost seems to have the program attitude among players turned around. The players are playing harder and with much more desire than any program in over 5 years. He has the foundation built.

Hard to criticize him for first half. He was fitting square pegs in round holes. Players who did not want to be here. A. He patiently turned the season into something to look forward to in 2019.

I think the 1st half of the year showed just how bad things had gotten under M. R. Ironically, the 1st half showed S.F. is not a miracle worker and the 2nd half showed he actually kind of is!

It’s a tale of two halves- the first half was historically dreadful . Grade D. The second half showed promise and we were competitive against quality opponents. Grade B+. The future is bright.

I'd give him an A. He had to start with a demoralized, flabby, undisciplined group who had given up on winning. Scott "gets it" that Christian values of faith & perseverance win at football & life.

If the lines are improved and up to the task, I think they lose to Oregon, Indiana and OSU, maybe split Illinois/Iowa and win the other 7.

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.
