A shit stain on the universe. Hypocrites.  Liars.  Helped create the instability in the Big 12, and then tried to pin the blame on someone else while they ran off to a paycheck and irrelevancy.

I follow the analytics guys on twitter and they are very high on the efficiency numbers and one of them had spent the past couple days going on about how Nebraska was very good and Iowa is trending down very badly in the efficiency rankings over the past few weeks. The betting numbers with Nebraska being favored made sense to them even though one team is 3-8 and the other is  9-2.

 

Then Adrian Martinez is out for the game on Friday.

Now Nebraska may have a shot.  Martinez finds ways to fuck things up every game.

If they played us with a backup QB they would kill us.........if they weren’t Nebraska.  Our current team could beat a top 5 Nebraska team from the 90’s despite losing to everyone else.

NU is (or was) the only D1 school to have never won a game in either the MBB tournament or the CWS.

Did they ever win a CWS game in the 2000s? If not, they still hold that distinction.

Yes. They won one game in '05 as the national 3 seed. Their overall CWS record is 1-6 in 3 appearances. 

(So in their best baseball season in school history they watched Texas win the national championship)

Scott Frost says tweaks, not 'drastic changes,' are what's needed at Nebraska

At 15-29 and heading into a make-or-break season, Scott Frost is using the approach that got him the Nebraska job in order to keep the Nebraska job.

ZACH BARNETT          6 HOURS AGO

The 2022 Nebraska season will be a fascinating one, however it unfolds. 

AD Trev Alberts announced last November he would retain Scott Frost for another season, despite his 3-7 record at the time. "There's not a lot of empirical data out there to suggest this will work, let's be honest," he said. Nebraska would then lose its final two games.

And while Nebraska did go 1-8 in Big Ten play (3-9 overall) last season, it was the weirdest 1-8 you'll ever see. With a 56-7 blowout of Northwestern, seven 1-score losses and an eighth loss by nine points, Nebraska somehow went 1-8 while scoring 239 points and allowing 239 points. Within those eight Big Ten losses existed an entire catalogue of defeat:

-- In a 35-28 defeat to Wisconsin, Nebraska had a 1st-and-10 at the Wisconsin 11 in the game's final minute... and ended the game by throwing incomplete on 4th-and-20 from the 21.

-- Adrian Martinez threw an interception to open overtime in a 23-20 loss to Michigan State.

-- Martinez fumbled in a 29-29 game in an eventual 32-29 loss to Michigan.

-- Nebraska held Ohio State to a season-low 26 points in a 26-17 loss. The Huskers went 2-for-13 on third down. 

-- A 21-9 fourth quarter lead over Iowa turned into a 28-21 loss thanks to a blocked punt for a touchdown, a second safety (another sack in the end zone!), and a 55-yard breakaway run. 

-- The Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue, losses were "1-score" because Nebraska scored late to bring the deficit within eight points . 

Frost says he's watched each game "50 times apiece," and the lesson he learned is that Nebraska needs to stay the course.

“If you believe you’re doing things the right way – which we do – I think drastic changes are a mistake,” Frost said on his monthly call-in radio show, via the Omaha World-Herald. “Tweaks are what you need. Not being stuck in your ways, but looking for ways to improve, ways to do things a little bit different.

“We can’t change the basis of what we do and how we do it – because I’ve seen it work before, it has worked, it will work, it does work. Particularly as close as we were in almost every game last year, we’re always looking for one little way to get that much better. Major, drastic changes probably aren’t what you need.”

It's not completely accurate to say Frost is simply running it back from 2021. The entire offensive staff is new, save for tight ends coach Sean Beckton. 

Frost is correct in that the same formula he's using at Nebraska resulted in a 13-0 season at UCF, but that 13-0 season is the only winning record Frost has produced in six seasons as a head coach. You can write 2021's 3-9 mark off as a Murphy's Law anamoly, but how do you explain the 4-8 record of 2018, the 5-7 mark of 2019, and the 3-5 record of 2020? 

Heading into a make-or-break year, Frost is 15-29. He's lost nearly twice as many games as he's won, over a large-enough sample size. Given all that, is it folly to change his approach this far into the process? Would the players see through Frost, casting him as someone trying to be someone he's not as his tenure hits crunch time? Or are the past four seasons all the evidence one needs that Frost's approach hasn't worked before and is unlikely to work in the future, and therefore it's time to do something different right this second before it's too late? I ask out of genuine curiosity, not of rhetorical condescension, because I think successful coaches can argue it both ways. 

Either way, the 2022 Nebraska season will give us our answer.

The rumors out of Nebraska talk radio and podcasts are that the teams is laying down some money to get Casey Thompson and the starters on the offense are getting some big money (Nebraska type big money). Its starting to change expectations for the upcoming season.

Probably just wishful thinking, but this 1yr rental may just be a "BUST" for Corn.

Funny how the guy in below video really stumbles thru the info that Mathis had much worse numbers in 2021 vs his 2020 numbers... 😂😂😂

Scott Frost and Nebraska penalized by NCAA.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/33842878/nebraska-cornhuskers-coach-scott-frost-hit-minor-penalties-coaching-violations

Quote

Nebraska football coach Scott Frost received a one-year show-cause order and a five-day suspension to be served during the "championship segment" of the 2022 season as part of penalties for violating NCAA rules regarding countable coaches.

The NCAA's committee on infractions released its findings after Nebraska agreed to the Level II violations and penalties as part of a negotiated resolution. The school acknowledge that in 2020, former special teams analyst Jonathan Rutledge coached Nebraska players during practices and film sessions and also helped with in-game coaching decisions, which violates NCAA rules for noncoaching staff members. The NCAA limits teams to 10 assistant coaches, and while many analysts are employed, they are not permitted to provide on-field or in-game instruction.

The show-cause order prevents Frost from participating in off-campus recruiting. Nebraska also had its probation extended through April 23, received a $10,000 fine and a reduction of countable coaches during two practices this spring and noncoaching staff for five days during the 2022 season.

"We have had an outstanding collaboration with the NCAA, and I want to thank the NCAA staff for their time and professionalism throughout this process," Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts said in a statement. "It is important for the Nebraska athletic department and football program to put this matter behind us and turn our full attention to the upcoming season. We are pleased with the outcome and believe the negotiated resolution is fair and equitable."

The NCAA first contacted Nebraska about the potential violations in January 2021, after a media report about Rutledge's departure from the program. Nebraska reviewed the allegations and in April 2021 notified the NCAA of its findings, which included Rutledge's participation in coaching activities during two spring practices and throughout the 2020 season. In August 2021, Frost and athletic director Trev Alberts addressed the NCAA investigation into potential violations.

"The head coach failed to monitor the special teams analyst," the negotiated resolution reads in part. "He was present when some of the violations occurred and identified red flags; yet he did not consult with compliance when he noticed these red flags to ensure the special teams analyst complied with NCAA legislation."

Frost, a former star quarterback at Nebraska, is 15-29 as head coach at his alma mater. In November, Nebraska announced Frost would return for the 2022 season but with a restructured contract and a reduced salary and buyout.

I know I sound like a broken record, but Nebraska was only one score away in several games this season. Just a couple playmakers can make a big difference in the B1G West, the Huskers should have everything they need to get to a bowl game this year.

Their opponents were only one score away from making it a 2 score victory.
