You got that 1000% correct. Yes, we are lacking in our O line. But not so bad that we should lose
I totally agree, I think what perplexing to lot of us is that Adrian seem out of sync not like last year, is he injured? Are the coaches holding him back?
My hunch is he has had avoiding pics drilled into his head to the point of distraction. He won’t throw it (normally) unless someone has true separation from the DB. The few times he tried to force it or thread the needle were not good. Therefore, you need a stronger running game to make play action effective and our receivers need to do a better job of getting separation. He is a good passer. But he ain’t Tom Brady. The whole system has to be in sync for him to be a better passer. We need more rpo’s and fewer pocket passes in my opinion.
I also would add a few screens a swing passes to the running back, not the lateral stuff most of the time it goes nowhere
Anything to get our speed talent into open space. Yes. Even Frost said we need to get it to Wandale more.
Wonder if there is some stat on our success of certain plays. I'm thinking we would find bubble screens are more of a wasted down than anything.
silliest post of the day, because you can already guarantee a losing season with Martinez.
He added some extra weight in the offseason. I am wondering if this is throwing him off just a bit. Also Frost has said he kept things pretty basic last year. This year he gave Martinez the whole playbook, even more than what Marriota had. I wonder if it has Martinez overthink instead of just using gut instinct and making a play.
To be fair CU has a very young team as well. Maybe even younger than us. They seemed to make it work.
Jesus...the guy almost had 400 yards of offense.. he was responsible for 4 touchdowns....are husker fans perpetually drunk or stupid or both. We saw on the next to last drive how good his receivers are...as Noa basically gave up an INT and didn't try on the other. All qbs rely on getting the ball into playmakers hands... He has two playmakers who are consistent, Mo and JD and his line is suspect at best. I almost feel bad that his talentlooks to be a bit wasted right now on a very thin offense. Frost made a clear point that WRs need to actually try to get open and make plays. There were multiple passes where the Colorado defender was a better WR than the NU receiver and where the NU receiver flat dropped the ball. Playmakers make plays...right now our receivers are playing like the scheme is supposed to do it for them. Colorado had a guy make two one handed catches, a guy dive and make a game tying touchdown on a fade that was actually tipped by the corner. If Wandale makes the catch on the cross or Noa makes a play on the ball or our TE push the defender and make a third down play the whole game could change. AM is the least of our worries on offense. To be clear...I was hoping the long stretch of losing had cleared out the idiots from the fan base. I guess Frosty brought them back.
Vedral is our #2 according to the coaches. But go ahead and weave your fantasies about benching Martinez.
