You don't walk to the opposition's side of the ball to cheer your defense on. Clearly an attempt to get an illegal advantage. Iowa has already been penalized twice this year for that infraction. Didn't lose us the game but certainly reveals the character of the Iowa coaching staff.

I'm really on the border with this. This isn't the first time this happened at NU so maybe they should have learned from past era's mistakes. It is dirty though and should be penalized. It'd be similar a DL yelling things to try to get the center to snap early, they shouldn't be allowed to do that.

At first I was with enough with excuses. And I'm still that way and we need to take responsibility for things we control. But after watching, that is dirty and at the very least unprofessional. Makes Iowa look terrible and especially after Kirk goes after Nebraska and downplays it.

Come on man!! Figure it out, stop with all the reasons why there are countless mistakes. If its not a muffed punt, it's a missed block sack fumble, or its a bad holding call, personal foul, false start, Florida guy transferring, so on and so forth. Whiners are not winners. Be a winner, not a whiner

I agree dirty play should be penalized, but this has been going on for two years. During the final drive, I didn't have a great deal of confidence we would be able to score without one of the final snaps sailing wide. That is a sad statement to make.

If this coaching staff would finally held players accountable and the players held each other accountable this still would not be an allowable excuse, toughen the hell up. Since none of the accountability is occurring our Coach needs to shut up stop whining and do his job.

I'm still a Frost fan and we have to give this some time but... ENOUGH WITH THE EXCUSES.. just suck it up and play football and correct the constant and reoccurring mistakes. Let's end this love fest with the players and set them on the bench for a series or two until they calm down and can play

It’s not the first time that our center has had problems snapping. He been doing that for 3 seasons. At this point repetitions and ‘coaching’ won’t fix the issue. It is part of who he is and that won’t change. Maybe time for Jurgens to move to guard and find another player to mold into a center.

excuses is all i hear....people try to do this all the time. If he is having that much trouble lets move him out of the center pos. It is time to be quiet and now start winning. let your winning do the talking. If anything bring up that we have played over 370 def snaps and not one holding call!!!!!

Frost has an excuse for everything, the players, the former coaching staff, this latest accusation has made Nebraska a laughing stock. Even a former Husker lineman said it was BS.

I "kind of get the clap cadence" when there are full stadiums but there are no full stadiums. Go with a hardcount. Even the clapped cadence, I think it was Northwestern that said they knew when to shift on the d-line right before the snap to cause our o lineman confusion.

We go toe to toe with wisconsin every other year, Iowa almost every year, Ohio State for a random 30 minutes, and are in position to beat NW every time. But until these guys start tasting victory and actually get used to it, losing seems to be the narrative. Channeling a little Pelini wouldn't hurt!

No, because as much as I thought Frost was the guy his teams don't improve, they are consistently mediocre to poor and that is coaching. Unless Ten of Iowa's starters go down with Covid there is no reason to expect anything but them being consistently mediocre to poor.

No running game and defensive scheme doesn't work. Can't stop run and play too far off the receivers in the secondary.

Until we prove we can beat the lowest level teams, we surely won't beat a consistent mid-to high level team which Iowa has been. Very Sad State of Affairs.

Iowa is too strong in the trenches, they have a running game, and are a disciplined football team. Unfortunately Nebraska is none of those things.

Nebraska has the potential to roll on this one, however, Illinois has the potential to score a lot as well. I predict NU will win a close game, less than by 15 points in a shootout. My predication somewhere around 42-35. NU needs to prove that they can play two solid halves of offense.

I'll have to see more consistency on the offensive side of the ball before I'd take us by 15 over any team in the B1G.

Nebraska has never really been a good team ATS. However, you never know what you're going to get from IL and we certainly can't pin the consistancy tag on NU at this point. I wouldn't touch this game!

75% of Huskers' problems are communication from the sidelines. Not getting plays called right, players late coming in, confusion, wasted time outs, etc. After the first scripted 15 plays we bog down. This won't change til Frosty shares play calling with Lubeck

Offensive play calling is too predictable. Frost needs to hand this duty over. Defense can’t stop the run, got turnovers this week and bowed up at the goal line, but that won’t happen evey week. Case in the point the first two games.
