Tell me about Nebraska

They're just trying to stay in the top 10 win list by beating the other lame ducks in the same boat.

 

however, I'm smart enough to realize, that much like back in the 90's....it doesn't matter how good the Miami Dolphins (Nebraska) get, they're never gonna be able to beat the fucking Bills (Texas)

It was really, really stupid to hitch their wagon to the Martinez horse. He missed his entire senior year of HS with an injury, and I’d be shocked if he ever plays an entire year in college without getting hurt. Just clearly one of those injury-prone guys made of glass.

It’s not like Frost kicked Gebbia off the team. I get that recruiting current players to stick around may be the most important task of a new coach, and one that Frost has not been successful at QB....Tanner Lee forgoes his final year (understandably), Pat O’Brien leaves after falling to 3rd string in the spring, and then Gebbia transfers after narrowly losing the job to Martinez in fall practice. I’ll fault Frost for not convincing these kids to ride the bench behind a freshman, but not because he planned on this depth chart.

Gotta figure Gebbia is kicking himself right now.  There were a few fans that really got upset about it.  I don't look at it that way.  You don't want to compete, gtfo.


On the other hand, I’m glad the coaching staff drove to Millard in 1999 to coddle a disappointed, but talented, teenage QB who found himself second on the depth chart. Kids don’t always react the way you would like, and it’s up to coaches to guide them for the good of the team and the player. And, frankly, I was more excited about Gebbia in this system. I’d rather see a quick dealer than another electric runner at QB. Because even with best of them - Armstrong, Taylor Martinez - it’s hard to stay that fast throughout the season. This team has enough weapons; we needed the quick dealing QB to use them. (Note: I’m not criticizing the decision to go with Martinez. I didn’t see them in practice. It’s just that if they were relatively equal, Gebbia’s strengths made me more hopeful.)
