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?

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!

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.

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

Hope I'm wrong Husker fans. Just don't think we're there yet. Iowa just does things too consistent and we still make far too many mistakes. We are missing some horsepower also.

Man I hated clicking this side but, I just didn't think even with the big win they looked that good. A lot of weak spots.

I’d LOVE to say they’ll beat Iowa. But, if the last ten years have taught us anything it’s the Huskers tend to flub games of substance. God I hope they play like they did against Maryland...

Iowa has gone toe to toe with every team they have played. Narrow losses against ranked teams. Sorry Huskers, this one will not be close. Hawks by 14.

the experience, especially with a bowl bid tenuous at best, will be worthwhile going forward.

To get better, they have to play. The season is nearly lost, let the young guys play and get some experience.
Reply
IF . . . they show signs of being able to play as well as their upperclass counterparts. There's still a chance at a bowl.

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.
