It was a designed play by MSU. They had scouted Czerny and knew he was likely to punt to his left. They put 2 returners deep and told the one one on the right to wave for a fair catch to make Nebraska think it was coming to him. And they told their blockers to form up on the right as well Partly by chance it dovetailed perfectly with our called coverage and the punter's error.Fake fair catch?
If a player on the receiving team waves for a fair catch, even if it isn't the player that catches the ball, doesn't that preclude a return?It was a designed play by MSU.

I posted elsewhere here on Saturday I think Frost needs to own that error instead of just blaming the kicker as he did right after the game, because at this point everything that happens is on him. I said if there's a chance his kicker won't properly execute Frost needs to scheme for that.
It turns out MSU's special teams coordinator knew our kicker's tendency is to kick left. Did our special teams coordinator know that too?
Details are important.
Not sure he’s helping just reinforcing the message.Frost is trying, there is no doubt. I guarantee, he wants to win more than anyone. But what does this say about our O-Line coach when the HC has to "help coach" his position group?

He kinda gave Schlichterman the treatmentWouldn’t mind Frost going a little Bo on the group during a time out.
Agreed and agreed. Like Frost said, he just wants to try and find someone who can run up and catch a punt, run back and catch a punt. Damn, I loved shagging for the punters in practice. I loved the challenge of catching every punt! It is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, for Pete's sake!Not sure he’s helping just reinforcing the message.
I like this team I like their fight wish they’d get a break late in a game though. Frost hurting and ten times more frustrated than any fan. He’s smart he’s going to get this thing turned around
Love to see two return men on punts one deep the other 8 yards closer to the los.
I guess not?If a player on the receiving team waves for a fair catch, even if it isn't the player that catches the ball, doesn't that preclude a return?
It should.I guess not?
Granted, these two receivers were 30 yards apart, but if a personal protector, five yards fron the receiver called a fair catch....I guess not?
To be fair, the rationale for having Frost quit his play-calling duties is so he could focus on areas of need. Thinkin Oline is where i'd start. But also, what position coach has more players and spots in the line up?Frost is trying, there is no doubt. I guarantee, he wants to win more than anyone. But what does this say about our O-Line coach when the HC has to "help coach" his position group?
I will agree, but did you watch the Chargers chiefs on sunday? Multiple illegal shifts/motion penalties, just like the week before against the cowboys. Not a fan, just happened to have the game on yesterday and it jumped out on me. Their team didn't quit either...anyway my point? Not uncommon.If they would quit with the false starts
by not reading too much into it, it may have been more of making sure they know what the other positions are doing? just guessing here but pretty sure he wasn't teaching technique.Frost is trying, there is no doubt.
