$2.4m/yr is around what Frost should be getting paid right now. Most would kill to get paid a fraction of that to learn on the job.
Nebraska Passing
| C/ATT | YDS | AVG | TD | INT | QBR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adrian Martinez | 18/20 | 174 | 8.7 | 0 | 0 | 79.4 |
| Luke McCaffrey | 3/5 | 21 | 4.2 | 0 | 0 | 93.7 |
90%
Luke had a higher QBR ... and the guy who won the game had the lowest QBR @ 61.3
Math was never my strong suit
For sure, he has lowered the bar for what I expect a QB to play like, which made today more palatable.
I do wonder if he would have gone with Martinez for the entire game how it would have ended. Luke didn’t look bad, but I am curious to see if we would have scored a little more. I know we got 2 field goals with Luke, but could we have gotten a TD out of one of those drives?
Not that it would have changed anything, I guess...
It would have been nice to have seen both on the field at the same time for at least a few plays.
I was gonna post this— we’re happy with QB’s throwing less than 200 yds despite a high %, only 1 WR with more than 2 catches (Wandale the man w/ 9, for only 75, TE Vokolek had 3, Falk 2 catches for 22 yds).
No one rushed for even 50 yds (Wandale the man -and Luke tied with 42).
We were held scoreless in 2 out of 4 quarters.
That makes it look like Wandale the man is the only baller we got, and the rest is typical low level, national ranking between 60-100 in all relevant stat categories.
Nothing is impressive offensively other than Wandale playing tough and “not getting blown out.”.
Agree 2 played well today. Before he gets the ball he is probably wandering “where is this snap going to be?” His o line is atrocious and majority of the receivers are average at best. Cade Warner would not play at any other B1G school.
Heck of a game. Hopefully Gebbia's injury isn't too bad. Quite the exciting finish - down to the last seconds with a new qb scoring the winning td.
Gebbia looked like trash the first few games but Smith will develop him.
Avery Roberts on the other hand looks like a beast. He had too much speed for Frost/Ruud. The talent evaluation and development is at an all time low in this program.

Gebbia does not have a strong arm, but he is accurate. I saw him at the CWS a few years ago. Looked about 6 foot and 180. We may overvalue arm strength. Id rather have a Reesling or Ganz over a guy that has a cannon but little in the way of football smarts.
Frost recruits qb that are athletes. Smothers is an excellent athlete. I don't see him as an above average passer. Just what I gathered from watching film. He is fast.
Gebbia was what, 11 for 24 vs Washington for only 85 yards in that loss, and is 2-2 overall this year, hardly stellar.
That's because our quarterbacks can't make a downfield pass or go through a progression read. The only reason the completion percentage is so high is they are all screen passes.

Loved this post until you Frost is learning in the job. Frost is a “slow blinker”
Should have been the whole game. It would take a tremendous amount of pressure off Martinez if he had a really good playmaker on the field with him in McCaffrey.
They don't run them at nearly the rate we do. That's our whole offense. I would rather take a 50% completion rate and hit a couple long bombs or so than a 90% completion rate on nothing but screen passes that don't stretch the defense out.
I call BS on this. In this day and age nobody keeps their mouth shut about anything. If the coaches weren't returning his calls or intentionally trying to run him off he would have been all over social media or telling reporters about it.
We need to know? Why? Frost already knows, he sees him at practice every day! Either he isn’t ready mentally or physically. Or Scott doesn’t think he’s any good! Why throw him in if he isn’t ready? Only bad things can happen.
