Thin air will do the to you.

I'm not putting it on Martinez or the defense. I'm putting it on the offensive coaches.

Sure Martinez was not himself in the 2nd half, but Colorado made adjustments to what Nebraska was doing with the 'dink and dunk' at halftime and Nebraska didn't.

I spent the entire 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters wondering why Nebraska wouldn't throw downfield. After that first 65 yd pass to Spielman with 6:00 remaining in the 1st Q for a TD, the downfield was completely abandoned. Everything was short 5 and 10 yd stuff. You're not going to get "mismatches" when you're only utilizing 10 yds of field.

That the offense couldn't muster more than 3 and outs in the 2nd half, the defense got tired.

can't buy that

its prrolly the coaching staff is my guess

That end around stuff Nebraska tried about 40% of the game ain't gonna work when the safety's and corners don't have to cover downfield.

Outscored 34-14 in the 2nd half says it all.

Nebraska's offense didn't stretch the field.

Especially when you consider the new PI rules, which is now called on 50% of pass plays over 30 yds.

I'm perplexed, but as I said, on tv you can't see what's going on downfield past 10 yds or so. Especially when the offense is stuck on end around's and dink and dunk 5 yd passes.

Is Troy Walters calling the plays by himself? Does Frost have any input during the game? Does Verduzco have any input?

How do you not stretch the field for the final 3 Q's and end up getting beat 34-14 in the second half? I at least throw a few long balls to back the defense off a bit. Frosts' offense is supposed to be about creating mismatches. You're not going to create mismatches in the first 5-10 yds when the Colorado defense has 9 and 10 guys in the box. Too much traffic in there.

I think that Troy Walters is a complete fool
has no clue

What was very frustrating with me as they tried to run power with Washington

I have no idea.

He held the same positions (OC/WR) at UCF in 2016/2017.

2017 UCF

Total Offense: 5th
Rushing Offense: 33rd
Passing Offense: 10th
Pass Efficiency: 2nd
Scoring Offense: 1st

That 'end around' sweep thing didn't work all day, but they kept going to it.

Martinez didn't sell the zone read well at all. It was obvious who had the ball.

Montez (CU) sold it great. I had to look hard every time to see if he handed it off or kept it.

they did show him up in the booth --- he seems ta be cornfused

I just feel like there's a disconnect between the coaching staff and the players something's not clicking where it definitely should all the reports coming in from Fall camp in practice seem to be positive I don't understand why it's not equating to wins on the field and completely blowing teams out.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Who was calling plays on offense.

it was the same thing last week we went vertical with the tight end last week it was huge who had vertical with JD spielman yesterdayday it was huge.

attack attack attack I mean if we're going to lose anyway I rather lose trying to score a hundred points then to play conservative

I think there's still a culture issue. Nebraska lost it's culture (particularly the pipeline) under HWSNBN and never has gotten it back. Pleeny teams struggled against G5's on 1st and goal from the 2 yd line.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for these players in their 'non-practice'/'non-team meeting' time.

Are they in the film-room? Are they eating properly at the dining hall, or loading up on Little Caesars in the dorms?

They seem ill-prepared and soft. They've got no response to getting punched in the mouth.

That was Verduzco, no?

I remember them showing him a couple times.

I find it interesting that both Oregon and Nebraska had lose from ahead games this year.

Oregon handled their G5 (Nevada) a lot better than Nebraska did theirs (S. Alabama).

I take nothing away from Oregon in losing their lead to Auburn. Auburn was expected to be stout up-front.

Colorado is no Auburn. Nebraska would likely struggle with Nevada. Oregon would smoke Nebraska by double digits. Probably 20+
