Iowa should be 2-0 vs these two this year. Both these teams looked weak in the trenches.
Nebraska still hasn't figured out that they need to be strong in the trenches and they need to be able to control the clock and the field.
Frost just isn't a B1G level coach. Scares me because if he gets fired and Nebraska actually gets a coach that knows what it takes to win in the B1G West Nebraska like Purdue and Northwestern will be a toss up game for Iowa every year. Remember Pelini was 3-1 vs Iowa and had Nebraska playing B1G style football.
Frost insists on playing his style of football and is incapable at making in game adjustments. His QB was at a loss when Fitz and Northwestern made adjustments and Nebraska had no answer.
Northwestern controlled the clock, the field and made the in game adjustments to win the game. Classic Fitz and why he beats teams he shouldn't be beating from a talent standpoint. However their D is not at the level it typically is when they pull off those West Championship seasons. They have holes at all three levels of the defense. Holes the top of the division should be able exploit all game. Fitz is a master at controlling the clock, and where the ball is on the field at key moments of the game. Its not by accident its by design. Its amazing how lost Frost is at that aspect of the game. It's why he will never do more with less, but always less with more.
