Little Debbie has now lost 4 or more games in a season 21 Years in a Row (2004-2024). The last time they won a 6th game in a season was Oct 15, 2016

Nebraska's D under Frost:

'18: 31.2 ppg allowed, 5.0 ypc allowed rushing, 20 take-aways, 43% on 3rd down conversions, 433.5 total ypg allowed

'19: 27.75 ppg allowed, 4.8 ypc allowed rushing, 21 take-aways, 40.1% on 3rd down conversions, 388.8 total ypg allowed

'20: 29.38 ppg allowed, 4.2 ypc allowed rushing, 7 take-aways, 40.5% on 3rd down conversions, 386.5 total ypg allowed

Even with improvements made ... the numbers have to significantly shift for Nebraska to compete for the division ... let alone, the conference.

Also ... with all the personnel turnover on the offensive side ... even with improvements on D ... will the O be able to score enough? Nebraska has some decent TEs ... and Zavier Betts is a stud ... but otherwise that O is still going to have to be heavily reliant of comparatively inexperienced guys.

Let's pump the breaks a little on calling Betts a stud. Yes he was a high ranked recruit but maybe let him earn it on the field which going by his numbers nothing special last year. Because I've seen this song and dance of Nebraska touting their 4* WR who come in and don't live up to the hype or flame out.

I don’t think you understand how much talent Frost has accumulated. I think Nebraska could be a final four sleeper. Suffocating defense and NFL weapons all over the field.

I'm secure in my fandom ... acknowledging the talent that Nebraska has. It still likely won't make a lick of difference. Frost still tends to propagate a culture of entitlement - and they talk the talk, at best, as it relates to playing disciplined football.

Anyhow, Betts came in and played awfully solidly as a true freshman. Furthermore, he was productive despite having QBs who were playing somewhat less than consistently.

Had Betts chosed to be a WR at Iowa - I would have been very happy. I won't deny 'braska fans such small victories. Particularly when Iowa continues to win where it matters ... on the field!

“These kids deserve a little wind under their wings” and “it’s good to get a Nebraska guy in here that understands.”

Frost being Frost, you don’t deserve anything except for what you get and that is earned and another excuse for why he isn’t winning since he has a million things to do beyond coaching but didn’t mention any of them. Only thing coming out of Lincoln are more excuses. I look forward to them earning another losing season.

 

[hawkfeever]

At least they were smart getting out of Big 12. Only thing they have done right.

 

[Packer54]

Word on Frost is he is struggling big time with his wife leaving him. Been escorted out of a few bars. Not doing well. Hate to see that happen to anyone frankly but who knows the circumstances.

Will he finally quit blaming Mike Riley for things like:

* the culture he inherited?
* the players he inherited?

When does Frost take ownership of his program and his failures and quit blaming everyone else?

Frost might want to quit mentioning Riley for other reasons. In three seasons he has more losses than Riley despite coaching six fewer games and is three games behind Riley's B1G record.

Frank Solich (Pelini coached the bowl game?) went 10-3 in 2003. That team was ranked as high as #10 in the country.

Is this a random thought that popped in your head or an obsession? Why are you giving us the history of Nebbie on this forum? Any other schools popping in your head? FSU? Oregon? Temple perhaps?

In this column, Chatelain asks if Frost knows what he is doing.

Chatelain: Scott Frost can't seem to find medicine for Husker headaches

• Dirk Chatelain
• Omaha World Herald
• Dec 13, 2020 Updated 2 hrs ago

Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. Hallelujah. Where’s the Tylenol?

Favored by 10 points on Senior Day, in a game necessary to avoid a fourth consecutive losing season, facing a team without 30-plus players, a 2-3 opponent that hadn’t played in three weeks, Nebraska lost inexplicably.

Again.

You can sift through the wreckage as much as your stomach will tolerate: the swing pass for minus-9 yards on the first snap, the minus-2 turnover margin, the missed 32-yard field goal, the 8-yard punt, the zero sacks, the 10-minute difference in time of possession, the 8-yard difference in average field position, the 3.8 yards per pass attempt, the holding penalty that wiped out a fourth-quarter touchdown.

But all of that boils down to this: Does Scott Frost know what he’s doing?

Not one of us has learned more football — certainly not from more impressive minds — than Nebraska’s coach. To suggest that Frost didn’t have the preparation to succeed in Lincoln is laughable.

But what good is knowledge if you can’t pass it on to your players? For three years, Frost’s pedigree hasn’t done him a bit of good. Your local high school coach wouldn’t do much worse than 11 wins and 20 losses at Nebraska.

Four decades of watching successful Husker football didn’t teach Nebraskans how to coach. But all those 10-win seasons did teach us to recognize good football.

Block and tackle. Take care of the ball. Limit penalties and blown plays. Take advantage of opportunities when your opponent gives you one. It’s not complicated.

Look at Iowa State this year, or Indiana, or Northwestern, or Coastal Carolina.

Nebraska doesn’t show much interest in the formula. Its quarterbacks miss critical throws to open receivers downfield. Its offensive linemen commit backbreaking penalties. Its defenders don’t create havoc. Its coach calls plays that, within a second after the snap, resemble training drills for a CPR class.

As you watched Saturday, did you notice how frequently Minnesota, which hadn’t played in 22 days, lined up and executed a basic play? Meanwhile, Nebraska, which gained 308 yards in 65 snaps, rarely found a rhythm.

Frost’s offense has two persistent, glaring flaws:
1. The inability to bust big plays. Nebraska’s vertical passing game is so atrocious at this point, Frost might as well run the wishbone.

2. The inability to string five, six, seven solid plays together. With the exception of about one drive per game, defenses merely have to wait for a Big Red breakdown.

Those two characteristics go together like gravy and Jell-o. Yet despite all its issues, Nebraska was still hanging in there Saturday, until the final drive of the third quarter.

Then disaster arrived.

First down from the NU 36: Play-action fake, Adrian Martinez missed a semi-open Austin Allen.

Second down: Martinez missed a semi-open Wan’Dale Robinson.

Third down: Sack and Martinez fumble.

Minnesota took the ball 39 yards and scored, essentially ending Husker hopes and kickstarting another postgame autopsy.

Multiple times during Frost’s press conference, he referenced how well Nebraska prepared this week. All the plays they executed in practice.

“I hate to even say this,” Frost said, “but we had our best week of practice offensively maybe since I’ve been in Nebraska.”

Multiple times, he referenced youth as a reason for game-day mistakes.

“It’s not meant to be an excuse, but we’re still playing a lot of young guys and as they grow, they’re going to win more often than they lose,” Frost said. “You can’t call however many pass plays we called and miss five and get sacked and get beaten in protection two or three times. Those mistakes get you beat in this league.”

But relying on young guys usually means that older guys haven’t developed. That’s on the coaching staff, right?

More to the point, Frost’s offensive starters Saturday consisted of three seniors (including a left tackle making his 40th career start), four juniors (including a third-year starting quarterback), two sophomores (including Robinson, who’s certainly not part of the problem) and two freshmen. The lineup didn’t include senior Dedrick Mills, his top tailback.

In this era of college football, that’s more experience than any coach could ask for.

If, at this point in Frost’s tenure, you’re ranting and raving like Clark Griswold after opening his Christmas bonus, you have good reason. You might even have the urge to put a big ribbon on Frost’s head and call him every name in the book.

But it doesn’t solve the problem.

Frost must fix this offense before August 2021. Whether it’s recruiting a mercenary quarterback or developing his young receivers or modifying his scheme to better fit the Big Ten West or overhauling practices to ensure that Monday reps feel more like Saturday, he has to find a way. He can’t put his fans through another fall like this.

In 20 previous seasons, the Huskers lost nine times as a double-digit favorite. Nebraska did it in back-to-back home games.

Three years into the Frost era, he still can’t find the medicine for this headache.

Chatelain: Scott Frost can't seem to find medicine for Husker headaches

To suggest that Scott Frost didn’t have the preparation to succeed in Lincoln is laughable, writes Dirk Chatelain. But what good is knowledge if you can’t pass it on to

omaha.com

And Frost mentioned "youth" again in this years' media day. He cant get off that.This is your 4th year coaching them. If they are young, you haven't done much with the first 2 years.

 

[Franisdaman]

Time for a contract extension.

Looking at the the Cleveland.com preseason media poll, here's how Little Debbie has performed since Scott Frost took over:


2018: Predicted 4th in B1G West — Finished 6th
2019: Predicted 1st in B1G West — Finished 6th
2020: Predicted 4th in B1G West — Finished 5th

[Herkyhawk247]

If Nebraska is a blue blood, then Minnesota and Illinois absolutely are Blue bloods. They both have more national titles than Nebraska.

And really, in the big picture of things historically, all three are about as relevant from a time standpoint

 

[iahawkeyes17]

If you read their boards, many of their fans still consider Nebraska a "blueblood." Give me a break.

Honestly if they want to say it so they make themselves look and feel better have at it. It’s like an overweight women in her 50s talking about how she once was a super model but clearly to anyone not blind can see those days are long gone. So yeah Nebraska once was but anyone with eyes knows they aren’t anymore no matter how much those in husker land proclaim to be. Because saying they are doesn’t give them any advantage or edge anymore. Just a deflection method of the reality they suck now.

Win total keeps Ne as a blue blood.

If it helps you guys sleep better at night so be it. Hey we are a blue blood. Even though we are completely irrelevant anymore and haven’t made a bowl game or had a winning season in the last 3 years.
