The LAST time we had the ball why didn’t we pass it to get into field goal range??? If AM can’t do it bring in LM!!!!
So mad I could spit nails!
- Thread starter Godisatrinity
- Start date
We were afraid to pass the entire 4th qtr. AM2 had a bad season and needs to get a lot better. Otherwise, just turn it over to Luke and run a run oriented offense
And at that point it's 2nd and 20 with not much time left. "Play for OT at home and the win on the road" is an adage for a reason, and only hindsight makes that strategy look bad. But Martinez messed up by going out of bounds, and the defense failed after only giving up about 21 yards in the 2nd half to that point.
That pissed me off too. There was still time to take shots down field and yet Frost wastes 2 downs trying to play for overtime like some *****. He was definitely fearing failure. He didn't want to risk Iowa intercepting it which I can understand that concern with Martinez in. But Iowa did what Frost refused to. They took shots down field to get themselves in field goal range. This is entirely on Frost.
Seems like, with the exception of a couple drives in the 3rd quarter, the playbook consists of about 5 plays.
Well, Martinez seems to be as big a liability passing, he’s usually off the mark.
Field position was awful most of the 4th quarter, too. Turning it over there would have ended the game sooner, the key will be replacing some of the OL with guys who can sustain blocks for longer than a .5 second so the conservative play calls have a slightly better shot at succeeding.
1)Read option qb keep,2) read option rb run, 3)bubble screen left , 4)bubble screen right , 5)fake rb handoff pass
Sound about right?

So, Frost and coaches only do bad? Wow, hope you are not a manager or have children. Poor bastards...
So, who do you blame for the loss? The same people you mentioned? All the stuff you rattled off means nothing because the end result was another loss.
Frost, his staff, and the players all own it, but the HC ultimately takes most of the blame, and rightly so. Hopefully you never have children, can’t imagine how dumbed down they’d be.
That would be if take into account Iowa holding on nearly every run play. Yet, zero flags thrown. Refs were fine.
I’m sure Iowa fans have thought the refs helped teams they played over the years in losses, it’s nothing new.
Blame is irrelevant and unnecessary, always looking to the future... let’s be honest, you guys are happiest when you can hate on someone or something...So, who do you blame for the loss? The same people you mentioned? All the stuff you rattled off means nothing because the end result was another loss.

Geezus, whatever. You talk about the game being tied up or the way the defense played for one quarter, yet you don’t have any idea why they lost, do you? A loss is a loss, and again, the things you rattled off meant nothing when 00:00 showed up on the scoreboard.
Don’t hate Frost or the team, but most everyone sees the many shortcomings with this staff.
Sorry, you are blind. There were multiple holds on Iowa that were not called. Would Nebraska have won regardless? No. But yes, they missed holds on Iowa.
When the announcers are stating how one sided the calls are... it's really bad. Matt Millen was dumbfounded by the calls in the Husker's favor.
I literally can’t help you if you watched the game and did not see multiple holds missed.
I just look at what will get better and you assume it will always be bad. It is ok, you just like to be negative and tear stuff down instead of seeing what could be better. Own who you are!
I was still watching the facemask that wasn't called and the unsportsmanlike that was...on the same play.
refs were not fine. Iowa won despite the refs and the B1G trying to make sure Nebraska became bowl eligible today. The 2 overturned calls on the final drive were criminal.
I never said they didn’t miss any calls on Nebraska. Are all Iowa fans this stupid? Read.
Multiple holds on the once mighties as well how many holding calls were there......ZERO
And? I never said they anything about Nebraska. But the fact that Iowa fans think it was the refs that let Nebraska get back in to the game and not Iowa’s outdated anemic offense says a lot.
Any other team would have been up by 30 at halftime after that Nebraska performance.
Exactly. Why did AM go out of bounds? That shows a complete lack of awareness. Then the Defense folded. Someone needs to ask the coaches why No pressure on Iowa's Qb. Most decent quarterbacks are going to complete passes if you give them all the time in the world. (Pretty sketchy call on Mike Williams. Taylor-Britt was lucky. Just jump over the receiver once they are down. Why risk a 15 yard penalty)
In reality on most of plays the Iowa defensive player was just watching the play and disgarded the blocker when he saw the direction the play was flowing
Hilarious, can’t see the forest for the trees. Nebraska will get better, but Frost has some decisions to make about himself and his staff. He’s not out recruiting any of the top teams in the B1G, and if that stays true to form, along with current coaching methods and coaches, successful gains will be marginal.
I see the situation as it is, not hating and certainly not as a starry eyed dreamer like some, but that’s your way, enjoy.
Nebraska was holding plenty on the outside plus the over-turned call on the catch and the missed face-mask...are you kidding?
