Anyone else rewatch the blocked punt?

Actually, Nebraska set themselves up for the blocked punt. Henry Marchese, the guy who blocked the punt, said Nebraska player came to the line and pointed to who they were blocking and nobody pointed at him so he knew he had an open lane.
He's probably just disgusted that it takes a professional making millions of dollars a year, 3-4 years to realize something that most fools like us know is important to be successful in his job.
So the kid that blocked it said he knew he wasn’t going to get blocked.
All the upbacks pointed out who they were going to block.
Nobody pointed at him. Lol

Exactly. This is good coaching. Frost is outcoached almost every game, hence 3-9 and we decided to keep this guy. Mind numbing decision.
It isn't a fluke that they keep losing close games. The same things keep happening week after week without any improvement and then they're like "but we're close". Even if you go 50% in the close games, you're still 7-5. This is why I'd prefer a coaching change.
Also, I cannot wait to hear all offseason about how much the special teams unit is improved and blahblahblah. I'll believe it when I see it.
Nebraska running a right outside zone shield with a left-footed punter in that situation is another classic Frost botched-abortion.
And……how many field goals did we miss this year?
It’s got to be at least another 20 or so points
I had to do a double take on that. Ive never coached football a day in my life and I was thinking "isn't our punter a lefty?"" Why are our guys stronger to the right?". Good to know that's another Frosty f-up.
Hell. He wouldn't have even fired anyone if Trev hadn't put a charge up his ***.
A 3-9 team is not close, I don't care how close the losses were. Another thing, there's a lot of talk about how improved we were this year, but I honestly think we were better in 2018.
Just looked and am stunned they weren't worse than 8 for 16 on field goals and 39-43 on PATs. "Only" 12 missed kicks this year, 1 per game average. 24 left points on missed FGs and another 4 points on PATs so 28 points lost just from field goal kicking.
I say "only" as sarcastic as possible.
100% true. Something had to give, and since he doesn't have the backbone for it, Trev laid down the law.
Correct. That's what we taught as well. Block the most dangerous player. But when it's 3 against 7 because noone on the line blocked anybody. ... . Pretty tough situation.
Riley had a full time ST coach. How did that work out? Love the en and flow of this board. Don't need to waste a ship on a long snapper, punter or kicker. Need to get a punter an kicker on ship Anyone can coach ST. Need a ST coach asap. Play the incoming freshmen and walk-ons. Let the freshmen get game experience for four games so they don't lose their red shirt. Back in 95 the starters played on ST. How come we aren't playing more starters on ST?
Lots of same posters advocating both sides. No wonder the team is confused!
The punter was benched? Lol, that’s almost comical. Wasn’t his fault.
The left tackle never touched the outside guy, went straight to the inside.
Then the left upback completely ignored him.
It’s like they thought he didn’t have enough speed to get to the punt. That or just a huge screwup on one or both blockers.
The "left tackle" did the same thing on the next punt too. Seemed intentional. But this time the 2nd punter took two steps to his right and then punted.
Snodgrass took a step to his right when he should have stepped to his left and he would have blocked the player who blocked the punt. Another brain dead move.
In other words, one team is very well coached. The other isn't. LOL that *****.
This. What has happened in the last four years that led SF to believe that one third of his program could be ignored?
The only, ONLY, compensation is that he has had his nose rubbed into his bad judgment in the most public way.
If he wins out next season and then goes on to a stellar career as NU's head coach, he will still carry the stink of his first four years of arrogance.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you need to bring more Kleenex on your dates.
I didn’t go rewatch it, but during live play I remarked how much time our punter seemed to take. Just like an O-lineman, it looked like he was in concrete shoes.
I am thinking this is low. Does not account for all the yardage we gave up by letting the ball bounce at michigan state and field it inside the 10.
Plus leading the nation in take always doesn’t hurt either. Nebraska defense on the other hand dropped multiple interceptions and our fumble recovery was caused by the Iowa player running into his own guy. Chins plays a soft defense that is never going to cause turnovers.
