God Martinez is terrible. Could've ran for 15 yards there, instead almost gets picked.

And I wish someone would punch Frost in the nuts every time we call a bubble screen

AM has been bad all year, but you’re 100% wrong - he would have been tackled short of the yard to gain, well short.

How can two walk ons be the best we throw out there on KO return? Brody Belt and Westminster???

Ray Lewis and Urlacher were great tacklers because of coaching...

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?
Coaching spots talent. And plays talent. Good coaching doesn’t play bad players. Good coaching doesn’t keep trying to do the same thing over and over again hoping for a better outcome. Teams like Wisconsin and Iowa have a history of playing guys who lack talent but play smart football.

Whose playing the players who can’t tackle? Whose playing the guys that can’t wrap up? Is it the players? Are the coming together and saying who plays?
Honest question here. Who should they be playing? Give us a couple names. True freshmen? Walk ons?

In that second quarter I counted about 20 missed tackles. There were two plays that had 4. Fire Chins!

What "talent" would you suggest we play?

I learned to tackle better than our players in middle school. If they haven't learned by now, they never will.

If I was a coach and a D-1 player came to and said, "I need you to teach me how to tackle..." Cut instantly.

You still coach fundamentals in college.....

Rather play the young guys and get our asses kicked then play the upperclassmen and get our asses kicked. At least the young guys in theory can get better and help down the road. The upperclassmen are a lost cause.

Won't happen. Scott just got a two year extension, he's keeping the gang together.

All that means is Frosts job is save and he can show that to recruits. But that absolutely doesn’t mean Frost won’t let any assistant coaches go. I truly believe he will fire guys if it’s needed. He’s a Huskers through and through. He will do what ever takes to get our Huskers going again

Another case of lack of adjustments. 1st quarter to second quarter, bet it looks similar 3rd quarter. Chins needs to go.

Stick to soccer. You are way out of your element.

No your statement was dumb and you got called out on it.

So you are saying coaches dont coach tackling or fundamentals.

You should never talk about sports because your opinion was the dumbest statement made today.

Lmao..you are showing how ignorant you are..

So you are saying coaches coach to tackle with their shoulder and not wrap up?

And look the other way when players do?

We have been told that the 2019 class is God’s gift to earth. Freshmen or not. Throw them into the fire. I remember when Caleb Tannor was the next big bad Blackshirt.

There's no help on the way either. We aren't getting difference makers at key positions in this class. No WR, OLB, ILB, etc etc

This recruiting class had to be a good one and it's just average.

Charlie McBride couldn't make this group of girls look like a real defense. What is Chins supposed to do?

For starters, sit Bottles. I promise McBride would say I’ve seen enough of you today. I know this cause I saw him do it plenty. There’s this idea that says “we may not win today without you out there, but we sure ain’t going to win with you out there”.

We have a guy on the team who was one of the fastest college sprinters in the B1G conference. His whole highlight tape is kick and punt returns. Why does he not return kicks for us!!!

Tackling is included in that. Your posts about never having to teach tackling are pretty stupid

I never said that. You still practice it, but if you dont have it by the time you reach college... you probably never will.

Are you all seriously stating that most players do not know how to tackle at the high school level?

He has not bought in. He was a Riley recruit. Whooops, scratch that. He is a Frost guy. Not sure what excuse I can give you.

Long story short, as bad as Chinander is. Dewitt has arguably been his equal.

what? Did you really just say that? Top 21 recruiting class, top 15 recruiting class and so far this class isn’t bad at all. Talent is most DEFINITELY on its way.

You all are putting words in my mouth now. I would slap you if you were here right now.

It's hard to have confidence in the future of Chinander's 3-4 defense, when this staff is absolutely terrible at recruiting linebackers. They literally had to offer like 10 JUCO linebackers last week because they can't get any interest from high school linebacker recruits.

Tackling is horrendous - our players are more concerned about making the ‘big hit’ than wrapping-up the player and taking him to the ground.

Wisconsin has turned way too many 4 yard gains into 15 yard gains in this game.

No ****. We have some blazers supposedly. We have Speilmen who has a PRTD this year. Brody Belt? Did he make the honor roll and win a bet?

Frost and his buddies are fine. He won’t fire any of his friends. They will continue to make money that most of us will never see in our lifetimes. I will not be renewing my season tickets next year. I will not support Frost and his poor decisions.

Top 15? In what universe?

To be clear, I'm talking about the class of 2020 that has yet to sign. Although the class of 19 lost a good chunk of it's better players already soooo

Who has left from the 19 class? No one that I know of.

We are playing to beat the spread. Go Big Spread, but can’t even do that. Wait until 2026!
