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...

AM is becoming another Tommie Armstrong. Up and Down - not consistent - flashes of greatness but turnover prone. McCaffrey seems to be the better fit.

He is cooler under pressure. Simple as that.

Martinez 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!!!

He's a better passer and a more agile runner.

Adrian 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?

AM 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.

Anyone 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!

HE SHOULD BE STARTING!!

AM 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.

In 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.

We 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.

Obviously 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.

He’s not afraid to fail, and he seemed more energized!!

He 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.

You 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.

You always go with the hot hand, if you want to win

I think Luke’s speed may have made a difference

Clearly

Adrian 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.

Yes he would have given the team another dimension with his speed.

Should have Luke played more? That's like asking if bears crap in the woods..

Heck yes, keep him in! He's the real deal, can make plays, and it looks like the team rallies around him.

HE MAID THINGS BETTER WHEN HE WAS IN HE WILL BE THE QB NEXT YEAR IF ADRIAN IS NOT BETTER

It just felt like for the season that the coaches put the needs of Adrian's ahead of the needs of the team

Luke 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.

Go 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.

A 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!

Because 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.

We 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.

Give it a try. Didn't have to be for the whole game thought.

One must keep in mind the caliber of the Maryland team. Smallish. Still, NU had fun that day and things worked. With that as basis, study Iowa's defense and determine what can be exploited. GBR!

Frosty starts proving his worth this game. Corner, meet Turn.

I think the offensive line is just starting to look good!! The defense will need to blitz way more than it has in the past. Because without the blitz Iowa will have all day to pass!!

I will always believe our Huskers will win... and this is a perfect time to come out of their shell and build on last week's game. We have the coach, the facilities, the history, and the fans.

Getting Better Every Game GO BIG RED

With everything on the line, this is the big one. GBR!

I believe we can do it now as my faith in the team has been restored for a win over Iowa that is tough but beatable and Purdue only lost 26-20 to them and Illinois lost 19-10.

The Huskers get the win - based on the offensive output against Wisconsin. Need to play clean game.

Just picking yes because the team can win...but historically, they don't show up for big games so I think Iowa will win, cover, and continue to chirp about 5 in a row and counting.

I'm hoping they can put a game together like they did against Wisconsin and if the defense can play like they did against Maryland we can win. The Huskers have to play perfect.

Huskers have been playing better last couple of weeks. If we can run the ball we can beat Iowa. Gotta score in the red zone, something Iowa's D has been really good at this year.

There were visible improvements in the Wisconsin game and more still against Maryland. I think they've turned a corner.
