5 games in and Frost
- Thread starter WestCoastCornhusker2
- Start date
So now you support Frost here since a random fan thousands of miles away, and only watching games on tv, doesn't know? The best 5 are out there with the possible exception of Banks vs. Schicterman. Frost is blaming players instead of himself and Austin.
I’m betting it never happens in other places. Take Alabama, for example, who learned after Bear Bryant… I bet Alabama set their lineup on gameday for the first game and never makes changes.
Remember when Hurts was the starter but somehow in the middle of the season Tua began getting more and more playing time. Impossible, I say…
Frost knows they need better coaching. My guess is they arent making these mistakes in practice (which raises the question if they are practicing the correct way), and only making these mistakes when the pressure is on. At some point, you DO have to look at the players. He is already looking at the coaching, as evidenced by him stepping in and helping
He needs to see if he has gamers who do not practice well... Because the practice Tarzans are Janes on gameday.
The theory sounds good, but then players see there’s no correlation between practice effort and play time and then practice effort goes down as well.
I understand that, but there are some players who just don't practice well for whatever reason. I think it is time to see if there is that element on the field. There is always the exception to the rule. If some players fill that roll, the starters need to make sure they don't give those players a sniff of the field.
But Scott told us at the beginning of the season how excited he was for the prospects of the offensive line. RollingLaugh
So either Scott was just embellishing and making up crap, or the OL coach actually misled him into thinking the OL was going to be a strength.
I am more apt to believe it was just Scott telling fairytales to the media, and he has known all along of the problems here.
who's the best RB?
Johnson's looked alright the last two games. Morrison seems to be getting comfortable, too.

I saw it all the time. People would catch every ball in practice, but come game time would drop just about every ball thrown to them. Some people just aren't gamers and choke when the pressure's on. I was always the opposite of that. I wasn't a good practice player, but come game time I was able to step up my performance and play well. I can't really explain it either, I don't feel like I was giving a ton more effort during games than I was in practice. It must just be a mental thing, some people shine when the spotlight is on them and some people don't. That's why I think it's important to mix in players early in the season and find out who your gamers are. I don't understand the hesitation to sub out a guy who plays like **** just because the next guy could be worse. Yeah you may be right, but at the same time, maybe he's a gamer and just hasn't had the opportunity to break out yet.
Good thing John Cook isnt tinkering with his rotation to find the best fit.
When you win many conference and National titles you can do whatever you wanna do and not be questioned because he's earned it. Frost?? ........Not so much.
Have a hard time seeing that a player would just be magically better in a game vs. practice, have seen it the other way multiple multiple times where player cant handle pressure of the game, but other than maybe prima donna receiver who gives little effort in practice who only shows up on gameday, I just dont see a lineman who doesn't practice well start kicking *** in a game. Unfortunately I believe we have the best out there they just aren't being coached well.
I stand corrected.
Remember that time Osborne switched up his QBs in the Orange Bowl that year he won 24-17. Before he won any national titles? That was awesome.
I see what you're doing. But I don't wanna hear Frost's name mentioned with T.O and Cook. That's gotta be earned.
Nice try.
What you said earlier is that the coaches don’t know who the best players are, not that the best players aren’t very good.
Are you saying the anonymous person on the internet is getting paid 5 million dollars per year to make that call???
It's because NFL scouts and hot chicks are not watching ur practice reps, but they are watching the games..
Ur welcome, just saved u 2k In therapy bills as to why u were a game player and not a practice player..
Didnt you know its a weekly thing. You don't give the rock to a guy unless he practices the best this past week. Dont let a guy get into a groove at all. Dont let one guy build some confidence and momentum. Let them transfer out at the end of the year and that will tell you who buys into this losers culture. I mean its all about culture right?
This could be the most ignorant comparison out there seems how volleyball plays like 30 times where football plays less than half that. Not the time to take a chance on a few extra losses against top non conference meaningless opponents in football than you can in volleyball.
Even Tom played multiple RBs. You can't expect a RB to last for 75-80 plays. We rode Rhamir until his *** was dragging. Likewise in an earlier game we rode Stepp until he needed help getting up off the ground. I would rather have a somewhat fresh back toting the rock than a guy whose legs are rubberized.
