Run the F-----g OPTION. Hold the ball on offense until 5 seconds then run a play. Scott Frost you are back in Nebraska, Oregons plays will not work, you don't have the talent and your team has no discipline. Bench most of your starters if you have to especially the ones that are serial personal foul participants.

...and what do we do the year after that?...and the year after that?....and the year after that?

This is what a new offensive scheme in its first year looks like. Settle in or go root for someone else.


It's the defense that can't tackle, stop anyone and hits late....now that's a problem.
Well the defense is the problem , so why run a hurry up offense and give the ball back to the opposition when you can keep them off the field by running the clock down. Get Nebraska kids to play Nebraska football. Go back to your roots RUN THE OPTION. You may think that is old fashioned and obsolete but with the right players it will work. No other teams can prepare for it and it will keep the oppositions offense off the field much longer.Again Scott Frost you aren't in Kansas or Oregon any longer.

Oh and "root for someone else"" is not the answer to an opinion. It is called free speech and I will post and follow the Huskers because I support them.

The scheme is not the problem, the softass attitude that Riley instilled in this team is the problem. The players did not back squat under Riley, which you can argue is the most important lift for football.

I would be all for what you're talking about, but my thick skull has been penetrated with this:
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

and I recommend you get on board with Coach Frost's plan or you're not going to enjoy Saturday's ever again.

He's got a plan, a system(has worked elsewhere) & if you think Osborne was stubborn, you never met Carol Frost.

Oregon wasn't exactly rolling in top 10 classes

From 08-17 Oregon averaged 19.7th in Rivals rankings, Nebraska was 24th

We are seeing the results of our 2014 and 2015 classes which were ranked 32nd and 31st and the results of a program that is on it's third DC in 3 years.

Just because his system worked at a lower level, doesn't mean it will here. See Rich Rod at Michigan. Charlie Strong at Texas. Hawkins at Colorado.

Frost's system worked at a lower level with a roster full of Florida athletes. Will it work against solid Big Ten defenses? Will he be able to recruit enough speed to Lincoln, Nebraska?

The scheme is the problem and the talent at this point is not there. So why run a hurry up offense and turn the ball back over. Plus these players and the coaches will take several years to repair all the past damage done. What worked in the past can work now. The option.

He's gonna try and I'm behind his efforts. It took a coaching legend, Tom Osborne, 20 years to figure out the formula to win a Natty. He changed his off/def considerably during that time. Will you give Scott 7 years with some tweaks, or is it time for you to look elsewhere already?

Great questions, Nebraska is at a disadvantage as they have no recruiting base to run these pro style run and gun offenses. They took their kids from the state who knew the option and ran it to perfection. No other schools could practice against it because they didn't see it.

If Frost thinks a hurry up West Coast offense will work for Nebraska I fear 7 years won't change anything.

I agree the talent is not there, but you can't blame scheme. Schematically every offense works if run correctly so it is to easy to fault the scheme. Also Frost cannot recruit to his system if he does not show recruits what he is going to run. One reason Riley failed because he should have gone all in year 1, not waiting until year 3.

Oh I'm willing to give him plenty of time. But looking at this year's recruiting class so far, I think it's fair to question whether he will be able to recruit the personnel here he needs to run his system, against some very good Big Ten defenses. And then there's the defense, which is a whole other issue.

I think it's time to stop blaming Riley and start blaming our current coaching staff. These players by all accounts are supposed to be much stronger, quicker, and in better shape than they were last year. They've put in a lot of time working their behinds off during the off-season. And yet we are sloppier, less disciplined, and just not as good a team as even last year.

Frost is doing it, without fear, get on or get off, just stop bothering us who have attention spans and are supporting things long term.
Bothering you? Don't follow the thread then you won't be "bothered" Again look up the Constitution under Freedom of speech. Apparently your attention span doesn't include reading or knowing the basics of our rights.

UCF has a Heisman hopeful QB killing it in this system. Bunch of speed too. We don't have the personnel. Flashes of some potential but the overall quality and execution is lacking. Too many holes to fill and mental mistakes.

Agree. The question is whether we can recruit the personnel to Lincoln, Nebraska. Disappointing that we have zero commits from the state of Florida in this recruiting class. And only one wide receiver, from Oklahoma, who OU and OSU didn't offer. We need a lot of fast receivers for this offense. We need athletic linemen who can move and pull, yet seem to be recruiting a lot of 6'7/6'8 kids. I guess I have to trust that Frost knows what he's doing.

We'll see. If the recruiting doesn't improve, well, I don't have to paint a picture or get into fancy diagrams. We will continue to suck.

It will never work at Nebraska.

Nearly 600 yards of total offense with a true freshman QB and a sub par oline.... We were killed by penalties and turn overs... Its not scheme....

This. This was the most yards Nebraska has had since pre-2015, 2nd time that's happened already under Coach Frost. Nebraska's getting plenty of yards just having timely penalties and unreliable place kicking.

You hired a guy who's winning career was racing Porshe's and now you want him to switch to tractor pulling because he can't win with a bunch of John Deers'? You hired the wrong guy then.

We can’t pick up 1 yard with this OL when 1 yard is needed. Run blitzes blow up our line constantly. We’d be 0-4 this year running any offense this year.

So as QB at Nebraska it was all passing and a hurry up offense? This was what Nebraska was known for when Frost was QB? He has to adapt because he will never ever beat the top teams even in the Big 10 doing what he is doing now.

He can hold the ball when on offense until about 5 seconds to go. Why run a hurry up offense and give your opponent the ball quicker?

Okninternet tough guy
This doesn't even make sense. I am talking about a football scheme that like your post doesn't make sense. I can make an observation and you too should read the Constitution and learn what rights we have in regards to free speech.
