Nebraska and it's entire team is a joke!!! When does the arrogance end that thinks they should win every game?? When does reality sink in that Nebraska is just like every other lower team?

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

I am utterly baffled why you wouldn’t play the qb that gave you The best chance to win and at that moment in time it was clearly McCaffrey...
ReplyAM is becoming another Tommie Armstrong. Up and Down - not consistent - flashes of greatness but turnover prone. McCaffrey seems to be the better fit.
ReplyHe is cooler under pressure. Simple as that.
ReplyMartinez has not been what he was last year all this season. He only had Martinez throw 18 times and so if your aren't going to throw much anyway then why not put the better runner in, c'mon coach!!!
ReplyHe's a better passer and a more agile runner.
ReplyAdrian has not gotten the job done this year and McCaffrey came in and electrified the team and crowd. Is there something wrong with throwing a TD? He is then benched for the rest of the game?
ReplyAM has some issues; when he is on he is great, but something is wrong. Is he “overthinking” his position? Maybe. I’d have given McCaffrey more opportunities.
ReplyAnyone not trying to fool themselves knows that Adrian is not the answer. Two seasons, two sub-500 records. Be loyal to winning. That's it!
ReplyHE SHOULD BE STARTING!!
ReplyAM wasn't doing the job. McA couldn't have done any worse and probably would have done much better. To me, Scott's two biggest problems, special teams and no Qb rotation.
ReplyIn this case the 89,000 fans chanting "Luke!!!" had it right. One pass for the day, rolling to his left. One perfect strike for a TD. The kid elevates everyone play. He is most certainly a gamer.
ReplyWe are finished. Adrian has something on Frost to the point that Scott doesn't care whether we win the games. We LOST 4 last year because he ran off Tristan Gebbia YEAR OVER.
ReplyObviously something was not right with Martinez; whether it was injury or something else. I understand Coach Frost staying committed to his guy; the #1 QB; but Nebraska NEEDED this win.
ReplyHe’s not afraid to fail, and he seemed more energized!!
ReplyHe should have been the Q-back the whole game, Sorry but Martinez is done, and is showing no effort, Luke is the Q-back for the future at Nebraska.
ReplyYou could see and feel the fire with the team when Luke is in the game. Adrian had confidence issues all year. Not sure why, but it was unfortunate for the team. Tough decisions ahead for Scott.
ReplyYou always go with the hot hand, if you want to win
ReplyI think Luke’s speed may have made a difference
ReplyClearly
ReplyAdrian is a great athlete who appears to have a confidence issue. The stage might be too big for him mentally. Luke has been groomed for this his whole life.
ReplyYes he would have given the team another dimension with his speed.
ReplyShould have Luke played more? That's like asking if bears crap in the woods..
ReplyHeck yes, keep him in! He's the real deal, can make plays, and it looks like the team rallies around him.
ReplyHE MAID THINGS BETTER WHEN HE WAS IN HE WILL BE THE QB NEXT YEAR IF ADRIAN IS NOT BETTER
ReplyIt just felt like for the season that the coaches put the needs of Adrian's ahead of the needs of the team
ReplyLuke is next years starter. it is a no brainers. If Frost decides to be Bo Pelini and insist he is right and everyone else is wrong and stick with AM the Huskers will get another year of no bowl.
ReplyGo with the hot hand. If Luke had just been lucky because they expected run from him, he too would bog down and then you know it's not the qb but the great defensive thry were facing.
ReplyA player playing with confidence vs a player struggling. The entire team plays at a different upbeat tempo and speed when McCaffery is in the game. Even from a 2nd/3rd string role he commands the O!
ReplyBecause its been obvious for most if not all season AM isn't right in mind or body. Frost went all in and doubled down on him being "The" guy. Vedral or McCaffrey should've been in after 1st qtr.
ReplyWe needed a spark. They put him in at WR and QB in the 1st with success, then disappeared until late in 4th when it was all but too late. Needed to unload bag of tricks in this one and didn't do it.
ReplyGive it a try. Didn't have to be for the whole game thought.
