Time to thump 'em
John Paul Cunningham
Nebraska has been on the verge. The bye week allowed for a return to fundamentals so optimistically they should be much stronger this week
Reply
Loren Zimmerman
By-week, no-week. The chemistry just isn't there yet. Too many ego's. Martinez wanting to win the H..., Washington wanting to be another Dion Sanders, Robinson looking to be another JRs. They have yet
Loren Zimmerman
There is/was some poison on this team. Although they claim to be a brotherhood, there are some who think they are above the team. Some say MJ is not a gateway drug. If so, then why did Ricky Williams
Reply
Loren Zimmerman
Ricky Williams felt his need for MJ outweighed his need for football. Mo Washington and D'Robinson need to realize MJ is addictive and give it up. Why waste your talent and future on an addictive drug
It'll be a squeaker
Randy Weitzenkamp
Indiana is not the same old Indiana. We haven't put together a complete game yet. Hope it's not ugly, but if it's a squeaker at home we have a fair chance at the win.

Where’s the “going to lose by two touchdowns” button...? Big O-line, good running back.... has been a nightmare scenario for this defense.

The team keeps fighting even in the Ohio State game. Physical and mental maturity is needed, something that may not be a freshman or sophomore strength. Two more years can make a big difference
Reply
Randy Weitzenkamp
I was teetering on this vote. Our defense is definitely better than last year, but still has a long ways to go. Offensively, last years group of seniors were more important than we thought.
Reply
Robert Lloyd
We can't see the improvements in game day statistics and score, but I believe the most important thing Scott has brought to us is a unified belief that will return us to a tradition of excellence.

Wade Williams
The only reason I answered on this side of the vote is because I am actually wondering what you were thinking when you came up with this ridiculous poll question! This is the 2nd yr!!!!
Reply
Doug Clark
We are seeing improvements in some areas, but not in others. It takes time and patience is wearing thin because it’s been 15yrs of frustration.

Look at the roster, out of 150 players approximately 100 are lower classman. Fan expectation is unrealistic. There is a reason Frost was given a 7 year contract. It is painful but will change.
I'm a bit concerned

I agree with Linda. I get it’s year 2, but this offense is too finesse and soft for the Big 10. I’m sure it will get better, but I wish we were still doing Power I. Hard to prepare for.
Reply
Alex Perry
I am worried we won't have the desire and the fight to bounce back. If we couldn't match Minnesota in a very important road game, after Frost kept saying they are having great practices, then what?

Carl Wiest
This time last year we were trending upward, AM was a straight stud even in games we lost, and every game looked a little better than the one before it. This year they honestly look like 2017.
Reply
Chuck Buchholz
I feel the cupboard was pretty bare when Frost arrived. We made some good gains the first year. Now we have a lot of younger guys and very little depth so we have had less success,
Reply
michael daly
These coaches have stressed the 3 star and development route. I do not think these untested coaches are doing a good job of teaching fundamentals. As coach T said its a game of blocking and tackling
Reply
Rick Shaneyfelt
The O- line has taken a step back and I have not seen improvement since the South Alabama game. Also, the D- line got pushed around by a mediocre offensive line.
Reply
David Levesque
I'm concerned simply because Coach Frost was so totally wrong with his own assessment of the progress of this team before the season started. Pre-season we were all sure of a 9-10 or even 11 win 2019.
Reply
Wade Williams
We were so sure of a 9, 10 or even 11 win team before the season started?? Who is we?? Sorry my friend but the realist of the bunch were hoping for 8-4 and would accept 7-5 this year! You're NUTS!

No matter what this offence will NEEVER work in big 10, Frost needs big 10 offence ,stop being so bull headed Scott, change

Take a page from Mike Leach at WSU, who told his team they were " slow, fat and lazy". Then, he took away all social media platforms to them. No Wistroms or Glovers for the same reason?
Reply
Mas Shara
I am more than a bit concerned. There's no improvement this past week, or the OSU game (see MI 2018) - heck, it there's progress look at the Ill game + loss to CU, surely O-line is worse & Adrian!!!
Reply
Wade Williams
Why don't you and the rest of the nay sayers get ready for the snow plowing season! The real Husker fans will cheer on the Huskers and Frost!
Jeremy Woitaszewski
I was at the game in Minneapolis... I’ve never seen Nebraska lines get thrown around like rag dolls, especially on defense. It could have easily had been 70-0. There’s NO excuse for getting blown out.
Reply
Danny Brown
Two years after Riley I still see the same errors occurring. Turnovers, killer penalties, poor tackling. How long can you blame Riley's staff before you start blaming Frost's? (And I love Scott BTW)
Reply
Jon Jorgenson
Very young team. Many left when Frost came in. Regarding line play, we use to reload on both sides of the line. Many were Fifth year seniors. Takes time to develop line play with consistency.

Harold Peterson
I was watching the game on saturday against MN I saw no fight no get up and go I saw a team ready to quit
Reply
Randy Wolf
More than "a bit" concerned. The team quit. The Blackshirt program hurts this team and has for many years. These are not blackshirts ala Winstrom, Glover,Peter's, etc.
Reply
Larry Smith
One would think with around 150 players out for the team solid, dependable, determined ones could rise to the top. Saturday...meh...they acted like they didn't want to play. Not good,
Reply
Roger Krohn
Overall play is down compared to late last season. No improvements have been seen since game 1. Coaches talk positive but on field play doesn’t reflect the talk. At this rate, two more years needed
Reply
David French
This team is regressing not progressing because they bought into all the pre-season hype. They better pick themselves up off the ground and play with pride or no Bowl Game for 3rd straight year!
Reply
Richard Grover
Still beating ourselves with penalties at critical times. Still getting beat on both sides of line. Still missing too many tackles. Lack of depth everywhere.
Reply
Steve Walker
Too bad it is not a yes or no answer. This team has taken a step back in every area except defense where it is about the same. OL, QB, WR, RB are not where we ended last session.

Obviuos
ReplyNo doubt about it.
ReplyLinebacker hurries back to his position looks at the sideline to get the next call. Reads said call and immediately drops to the ground. Sorry but every "injury" after that lost all credibility.
ReplyIt's obvious
ReplyIt’s obvious. But it’s not why the Huskers lost.
ReplyIt was. More than obvious. Soccer level obvious. Saw one in the auburn LSU game as well. But even more flagrant. Something has to be done in the off-season rules meetings. Sad day for football.
ReplyGreasy A-Holes
ReplyAnyone could tell they was faking it.
ReplyWhy would the B1G let this stand? There is no question about what happened.
ReplyIt’s really not rocket science here folks. They clearly were faking a lot of this and interestingly how one of those fainting goats happens to be the son of the coach! Go figure!
ReplyI think everyone of the 6 times they were injured it was on a second down. That is way to coincidental to not have been coached.
ReplyJust look at the timing, it was very obvious. They were prepared to do this. It was not the first team to do that over the past couple of years, but this was the most obvious. Pathetic!
ReplyI wasn't in a position to watch the game, but listened to the entire game. I was thinking the same thing, just listen to it. Just when we had tempo and progress....boom a Indiana player goes down.
Replywhen we went uptempo......the went down several times......coincidental?
ReplyNever like to accuse where health is concerned, but most of these were obvious.
ReplyI was at the game with a good view of the Indiana bench. None of these so-called injured players received medical attention when they reached the sidelines.
ReplyObviously faked, at least most of them were. When a player gets up fine then suddenly falls, it's pretty suspect. Would love to see a shot of the sideline to see if there was any signal
ReplyIn the second quarter one of their linebackers went down favoring his right shoulder. When he left the field, he switched it to favoring his left. Not sure he was faking, or just confused.
ReplySome injuries were probably real, but it's unlikely that all were. Indiana's AD obviously showed bad sportsmanship for his comments. He really has no idea what Frost and the coaches feel about them.
ReplyEven the announcer said it
ReplyBTN Announcers were commenting all game on this, and they are more impartial than me.
ReplyUh..Heck YES !!!!!!!..If their coaches told them to do it, I would hope that the Big 10 administration will take action on this...
ReplyI was there and as a fan nobody should boo a player being hurt. But if you watch the video one has to wonder if that was a tactic of Indiana. In my opinion the MVP should go to #44. Injured 3 times.
