Nebraska...not feeling Frosty anymore

[iam416]

Since joining the B10, 13-9 against BCS schools and getting outscored 45-24 in those 9 losses. That's awful.

By now, I think we've seen Pelini's best. UNL ought to be seriously considering alternatives.

Bo has skated by on an obscene amount of luck to this point. Not just the fluke plays in various comeback wins, or injuries to key opposing players at opportune times, scheduling quirks, or miraculous field goals, but also the timing of the move to the B1G. I am certain that we’d have a different head coach right now if we’d stayed in the Big 12. Not saying that I wish we had, just making an observation...I don’t need to tell anybody here that quarterback play, and offenses in general, are struggling in the league.

The odds dictate that the fundamental flaws with his program will catch up to him eventually. Those flaws are deep and prevalent enough that I wondered this off-season if they may not be exposed, even with a schedule as weak as the one we have in 2013. The typical contagious preseason optimism steered me away from that thought for a while, but now I have circled back to thinking I may have been correct. He has enough arrogance and ignorance about him to make any task unachievable.

Great line.

As I told hoss Saturday... he either needs to fix it now, or just let the wheels come completely off..

winning 9 games will not get him fired..

[iam416]

I can't see them as any worse than 8-4.

I can.

Losses to Michigan, MSU, nFw, and PSU.

It is difficult to say from the outside where the team is right now.. what is the chemistry like after that loss.

Losses to Michigan, MSU, nFw, and PSU.

NW and Michigan I'd say are definates..

MSU, PUS and Ill are 50/50 at best.. MSU is a bad matchup if UNL's offense continues to struggle (if you can't move the ball on UCLA, MSU will crush you), PSU is a road game with physical OL and DL.. Ill can score points

[Wild Hoss]

I don't think we should be looking past IL either. We have played similar schedules to this point, have the same record, and our stats are pretty much neck-and-neck across the board. They have a couple big, strong backs and a QB who can move.

[entropy]

any team with a QB that can run should be considered a risk to lose right now

[Wild Hoss]

Here's the quick and dirty, stats per NCAA as of 9/14:

Total Offense: 53rd (446YPG)
Total Defense: 105th (463YPG)*
Scoring Offense: 36th (38.0)
Scoring Defense: 85th (29.3)
Passing Offense: 95th (184YPG)
Passing Defense: 114th (299.7)
Pass Eff Defense: 91st (145.2)
Rushing Offense: 20th (262YPG)
Rushing Defense: 71st (163YPG)
Penalties Per Game: 102nd (7.7)
Penalty Yardage: 108th (73YPG)

*Note that we are giving up more yardage than we've gained.

NW and Michigan I'd say are definates.

After Saturday's Akron performance, no visiting team should consider itself a definite loss at Michigan..

[Hannibal]

Nebraska-UM will be a classic "resistable force meets the moveable object" type affair when Michigan has the ball.

if your QB throws the ball more than 10 times, Hoke should be fired. Just spread UNL out and run him.

[entropy]

hoss knows this... but I have never been part of the fire bo crowd. I've seen UNL worse than we are now..

I also know something is wrong. I was hoping Bo could fix it.
