It's amazing how consistent Scotty is. One unit plays well (offense), one unit complete *** (defense) and we got the mind boggling time management special. The only shocker is the special teams haven't been complete *** so at least that's an improvement.

It's amazing how much more competent the offense has looked compared to any time in the tenure and still losing. Just lol.

Game management just laughable. We used two timeouts to let NW sustain a TD drive to end the half; and guess who gets the ball to start the 2nd half?

This is an example of why Frost is the worst coach in the Big 10.

Giving them 7 when they are trying to run out the clock and having 7 taken off the board on a ******** fumble call. That is exactly how you lose games like this.

It’s wild that our QB looks so much more competent, yet the offense can’t generate points. The defense looks so much worse than last year though. Might be able to get some tee times in on Saturdays this year. Sigh

That's how Scott Frost loses games. He has it down.

NW controlled the clock because of our weak *** defense and we had 7 taken off the board on that ridiculous fumble call.

My God this is disappointing.
Poor OL, check
KR who doesn’t know when to call for a fair catch, check
Skill players who don’t emphasize ball security in traffic, check
Poor HC decisions, which lead to points for the other team, check

you can change assistant coaches, you can bring in 20 plus new players, the HC is still the same. We are just a dumb program that others know will beat themselves eventually.

I'm glad that there are better storylines to watch this year. If I only followed Nebraska, I'd be pissed.

I'm good with getting into a dogfight in game #1, particularly against a B1G opponent. I just hope we can pull out a W.

C'mon Huskers.

No doubt. The defense looks like the 4th quarter 1995 Miami Hurricanes out there. Henrich is going to need some oxygen

Please try anybody but Buford at safety. He looks a year out or two still...

There were guys on dline who looked like starters that weren't all out there together in starting unit. Robinson looks garbage, while Feist and Wynn look like dudes who Sissie at different aspects. Hutmacher looked good too.

On edge, only Tannor has looked decent so far. Hope we see more Blaise and Butler in second half.

Lb... Is Reimers out?? Henrich mostly miss than hit, same with Kolaravic. Try Gifford more, and give Wright a shot.

His body language isn't conveying much confidence imo.

This is as simple as it gets. Scott Frost just can't get his players ready for a football game.

Anyone else reminded of last year’s opener?

Looks like NU is about to take control of the game….oops, a crucial mistake. Opponent seizes momentum…NU defense suddenly can’t get off the field…opponent defense adjusts to NU and our drives bog down….

Frost - your job depends on winning this game. Lose this one, and your odds of coaching the opener next year are nil.
