Junior high coaches know better than to snap the ball with 15+ seconds left on the clock with the lead with under 3:00min to play. Piss poor! Did it 3 times in a row! Hell, even Riley knows this!

I‘m thinking this also. And it almost worked.My theory is that he (Frost) probably knew they weren't going to convert a first down on that possession after Martinez went down and Bunch having to come in quickly. So then try to put a sophomore walk-on QB in a position he's at least familiar with and try to convert. If it doesn't work, at least you got more time in the event Colorado kicks a FG and the QB has a few snaps at the tempo you want for a final drive.
While it was disappointing, in the end Nebraska still had chances to make plays to win the game and sadly weren't able to finish it.
Riley didn't know this as evidenced by the BYU and Illinois losses in year one.
Hopefully Frost will get that fixed, among other things.
I was surprised not one reporter ask Coach Frost about clock management.

The only thing I can think of is, it was a drive that started 1st and 20 with a sophomore walk-on QB. Frost played it safe (outside of JD’s drop)...knew CU would probably get it back with the potential to go up. Perhaps he was trying to give his offense the final chance, I don’t know. At the time, I was face palming myself.
no Riley doesn't know this... he proved it time and again. quit listening to Brock Huard and you might be better off.Junior high coaches know better than to snap the ball with 15+ seconds left on the clock with the lead with under 3:00min to play.

It that's what he was thinking, then he wasn't thinking too well. Even for a walk-on QB, just standing for an extra 20 seconds each time should not be too much to grasp.

But if he would have done it then we wouldn't have had a final drive? They could have kicked the game winning field goal with no time or scored a deep td with 15 seconds left...the announcers were idiots complaining about the clock...both teams are hurry up offenses, colorado had 3 timeouts, running the clock was meaningless unless we could move the ball and get a first down, and that has to be the focus. Plus you have a guy who has never played trying to slow the pace...something they do not practice. We don't win that game by backing down and running the clock...we win that game by executing and we didn't do it. The best coaches don't win by doing what billy bob coach would have done back in 1967...he is trying to instill confidence in his team...sitting on that ball tells the team that he doesn't think the qb can play, the online can block, and the defense can get a stop. Who cares if we lose...the team knows their coach believes in them and he time they fail they learn how to succeed.

Don't pout about being called out. Instead, question whether or not you really know more about game management than a guy who won a NC as a player and led a team to a 13-0 record last year. Great post, dude!

Then they would have just used their timeouts and still had over 2 minutes left for a field goal attempt. I'm glad you're not the coach.With 2:43 left and a first down, leading by a point, I don't care who your QB is, 99% of coaches are trying to run the clock down to a minute or at least time outs be taken.... Frost was not thinking his defense was going to fail him and that his offense would have to come back on the field and win the game....
You're absolutely right. Anyone who says differently doesn't know what they're talking about.But if he would have done it then we wouldn't have had a final drive?

1:27 left with 1 timeout is an eternity when all you need is a field goal.I disagree... The coach shows confidence in his back-up, his o-line, and his running backs by running the clock down and running the ball, while simultaneously showing confidence in his defense to stop the opposing team with 1:27 to play and only one timeout.
Billy Bob coaches from 1967.... Got me there!

And going for it on all those 4th and 1's, and not making it.

You grind 1st Downs not run zone read for your QB at 4 mins to go and up 1.
And going for it on all those 4th and 1's, and not making it.
Y’all are in for a long SF tenure if these are your expectations. He’s going to run zone read the entire game. He’s going to be aggressive until the clock hits zero. He will absolutely not line up under center and hand the ball off to a fullback three times in a row. Those days are over and for your sanity I hope you get used to itIts the play calling on 4th.
This is why I wish someone could bring back Tom's offense.
Under center formations can be deadly.
Still miss the QB option out of the Maryland I on 4th downs.
