I agree with everything maybe except the 8 wins. It WAS possible. I think we have 3 one score losses right now? ALL of those games were VERY winnable games and would have put us at 7 wins with Maryland left. 8 was realistic. It didn't happen but that shows you how thin the margin for error is in football.. We SHOULD probably be 7-2 right now. Is it coaching,injuries, talent or attitude? IMO, it's all of the above. Frost and his staff have made mistakes. IMO a lack of talent at some positions has hurt us. I'm not completely sold on the attitude thing but losing is a tough thing to fight through. There is NO doubt that injuries have killed us at safety and QB. Our lack of quality depth at linebacker and in the O line is ridiculous and lays directly at the feet of our former staff IMO.
Our MLB looked exactly the same under Riley as he does now. He made mistakes and took himself out of plays back then too. He got blown up by linemen and couldn't get off of blocks then either. I will say that having Gifford beside him probably helped him last year and he looked better late in the year last year.
I think Frost came in here with the A B C plan in place to flip this around. Much of that plan was based soley on what worked in the PAC12 and AAC. As we all know Frost is very confident person. Even when that plan is not working, he is determined to stay the course and make it work. I think the regression we are seeing is players realizing this is not working and they are losing faith in Frost. I said during MR. So in Frost mind the reason for the struggles are on the player lack of trying. Good coaches know how to take what they have and mold it to make it work. They don't need fancy schemes, or top level talent. Frost is showing he is unable to adjust and adapt to what he has. He is taking his square peg and forcing it into that round hold. It isn't working.
We may not go back to the level of dominance that was seen in the 1990’s but when things come together (and they will) our ceiling will be higher than the Iowa Hawkeyes.
This is a big part of your problem, IMO.
Frost on how he would modify his system to work within the Big Ten
“I'm hoping the Big Ten has to modify their system to us."

I watched the whole game yesterday. I didn't see a team that quit or didn't have faith in the coaches. I saw a team fighting til the end and a QB who didn't make the plays he could of and probably should have made. Yeah the D maybe could have done more and we had lots of individual break downs, but I didn't see a lack of effort or faith in the staff. JMHO. These kids know it when they watch the video. AM is already kicking himself and feels terrible about his performance. Domann made sportscenter late last night for going for the ball fake on that last TD. They feel awful. They know it was on them. JMHO. I'm not saying the game plan or play calls were terrific. I'm saying that IF everybody had just done their job, we would have won that game.
I agree with you but the 2017 class was pretty much a bust. It’s essentially like be placed on probation it was so bad. However, no improvement has been made this year we can all agree the progress is nonexistent.
I originally responded to you
Maybe it will, maybe it won't. It won't happen just because you say it will. And why are you so certain other than having blinders on?
Iowa has now had more football success over the past 20 years (not two, but 20) than has Nebraska. When things come together? How long will that take? Today's recruits weren't even born in the 1990s. Steve Taylor on yesterday's post game talked all about this-- that "edge" Nebraska fans think they have doesn't exist. His own son, a top 200 recruit, who has a dad who loves Nebraska, doesn't even have Nebraska in his top 5 for this very reason. His own son has seen Iowa win more football games while on earth than Nebraska has.
As a UCF fan it’s frustrating because we told all of you it wasn’t a well coached team and we were lectured and talked down to endlessly by nebraska fans.
He took O’Leary’s kids, implemented a healthy culture and ran an offense all but built for Florida speed. We were happy to have Frost learn on the job but it was clear he was still learning.
If y’all believe in what’s he’s about, you gotta ease up and let him learn because that’s exactly what you bought. And the first thing he needs to learn is that nepotism doesn’t work. Chins ain’t it.
No, I want better than Iowa’s “success”. You seem excited about beating Nebraska a few times in a row. So have most other programs. It’s not that big of a deal - that is the point. Yet you are exclaiming from a mountaintop that you have beaten the playground weakling? That’s why it’s humiliating going to work and having average to below average programs pity you.
Janne what are you
g? No theres not enough talent. Scott Frost won at UCF because thats where he could get players. You are a sinking ship right now recruiting wise. Titanic.
Scott Frost 8-13
Yes, I didn't think he would reverse course overnight.
Scott Frost may be best coach for Nebraska, since Dr. Tom Osborne though.
We shall see over course of his contract. The glass is more full than empty.

He had 112 tackles last year and was picked to be an all conf talent. So this must be yet another case of you seeing something and all the rest of us are ignorant.
He played fast last year and made plays. He plays lost now and has regressed. The 3-4 and scheme suck, so does the development. Results are all I go by. I don’t need to make up scenarios any more to justify anything. I hate to be so negative but I’m getting tired of what I’m seeing and losing hope that all the sudden it will magically get better. I really hope to be wrong
I love when Iowa and Wisconsin fans talk about history, they only talk about recent history or history that fits their viewpoint. Include it all or don’t include any of it. Yeah Iowa has had some impressive season wins, but what has Iowa done the last 20 years of any significance? Any National Titles? Any BIG-10 Championship wins? How about Rose Bowl wins? By the way, 20 years ago we beat Texas to win a Big-12 Conference Title and last played for a National Title 18 years ago in 2001. So shut up!
As far as your other question...Who do I look like? Nostradamus? I can’t tell you exactly when it will come together for Huskernation. The foundation is being totally rebuilt after 20 years of rot. My guess would be in 4-5 years you’ll see a much different Nebraska football team. They may not win every big game but they’ll definitely beat the teams they’re supposed to, have winning records, and will be going to bowl games. Around the 10 year mark they will be a potent team on both sides of the football. A well oiled machine with a lot of skill players. 20 years from now will win more significant games than Iowa. So once again shut up little brother and go away!
Once again, when you've been left naked on the stage, you resort to history now dating back 20+ years. Ever stop to think that's your problem today-- you're more consumed with yesteryear than fixing the problems of the recent past?
Again, be the Mr. Tough Internet guy all you want, but for 20 years now Iowa has been a better football program than Nebraska with more national top rankings. Those are FACTS my friend, you can't talk your way out of. Mic drop.
Ok, if it is just guys not being in the right place at the right time. Why does it continually keep happening over and over and over. The same mistakes, the same missed tackles, the same gap coverage issues, the same lack of pass rush. It is so consistent that it is either coaching or it is mental. If it is mental, why are these players having such a hard time getting out of their own heads. It seems like it is happening with Martinez now too.
I said I’d be happy with 8-4 realistically I said 7-5 I got blasted. Do I see 3 games the coaches screwed the pooch you bet. But it’s also on the players, the coaches can’t make Vedral not fumble or Adrian not throw a int. Or defensive players biting on fakes or losing containment.
and against a 2-6 team obliterated by injury, mind you.
Yea, we have coaching issues. Anything else is just crap
You were the one that said 20 years. Don’t be mad at me because I just pointed out what we did at the start of that 20 year period trumps anything Iowa has done EVER in the same 20 year period. As far as dating back, what difference does it make whether it be 2, 5, 10, or 20 years ago? It’s ALL history and that is what you fail to understand.
Iowa has been the better team in recent history. So what? Things change as we found out in the last 20 years. Iowa has been good the last 20 years not great. That sound you heard was you pissing your pants before you dropped the mic because you know I’m right.
What I'm right about is that trying to catch Iowa is your new secret standard. Honestly, that would be a good starting point-- catch up to Iowa and Wisconsin first (and maybe even Minnesota now). Then after that, set your sights on being relative in the B1G West. Then, if you can ever master it, try staying there. Then after that, try matching yourself with Ohio State and Penn State and others in the league (they are today what you were back in the 70s and 80s). Not trying to be cruel to you-- just giving you reality. Now I get you might be dead before any of this happens, but none of us are getting out of this world alive.

No clue, but I knew without question that we shouldn’t have been ranked going into this season. We were 4-8 for the love of God. The only piece I didn’t expect, was the regression of AM. I do think he has the best skill set, but man, the missed open receivers destroy his advantage over the other QBs on the roster. That said, we are hoping this kid will get back to that growth progression for the next 2+ seasons. As long as we don’t panic, we can get him back there. But bottom line, with this roster, he MUST be a difference maker, or we are in trouble for the next year or 2.
The only thing I’ll agree with is the trying to match Ohio State part. They are the gold standard in the Big-10. They destroyed Wisconsin and would destroy Iowa also if you guys played them this year.
When have you last beaten Ohio State- or even gave them a game? Iowa last beat OSU two years ago when OSU was supposed to destroy Iowa. Instead, Iowa won by 31. Be careful for every finger you point, two will come back at ya.
Nebraska is still 3-4 years off from winning 9. So much is dependent on the line play. Last seasons recruits will be red shirt freshmen next year. It takes at a minimum of two years to get them productive and a third to excel. That's reality.
What's not deafening is the noise you've created about yourself to a simple original reply to you on your tantrum post that has you completely consumed now and completely crazed in meltdown mode. You've taken it down many dirt paths and you keep failing on all.
There are many great and educated Nebraska fans on this board that get it. You just happen to be one that doesn't-- and I pointed it out to you and you are struggling accepting that. So chill out. It will get better- maybe not in your lifetime, but in your kids or grand kids.
We last beat Ohio State in 2011. Largest come from behind victory in program history.
Ohio State was heavily favored last year when we almost upset them in The Horseshoe.
When have you last beat Wisconsin? Because that is who you play next week and the one you should be focusing on right now instead of trolling over here twerp.
Answer: Iowa last beat Wisconsin in 2015.
Nebraska has lost 6 in a row to Wisconsin and last beat them in 2012.
Actually the big ten media thought NU should be West champions this year. Nice try Iowa fan
Domann's play might be a bit of a microcosm of the problem. He certainly knows that he should have had contain on that play. If he has trust in the system, he comes up a couple of yards past the line and holds contain. He either totally forgot what his job is (not likely), or he does not trust the system/players to do their job and is trying to cover for them. You can't have a defense where everyone is doing their own thing. I think that there is a similar issue on offense where AM doesn't trust his line and, more importantly, doesn't trust some of his receivers to be on the same page or to get open. This offense is efficient when run with quick decisions, precise timing, and speed. These all require a high level of trust that doesn't appear to currently exist.
If I was in Frost's position, I think I would try to simplify both the offensive and defensive playbooks. That might not help against WI, but should help down the road. Take 15-20 plays and perfect them. Look at your issues at certain positions and plan around them. If your right tackle can't pass protect one on one, get him some help, roll the pocket to the left, use QB run game to slow down the rush, etc. Right now, you are embarrassing an player that is not in their natural position and not able to do what is required by the design of the play. You can say that players just need to execute, but asking them to do something that they can't is just bad coaching.
