You were missing the point I was making, and you must have missed the multiple times that I said there's an issue. But one can make their point by bringing up relevant players. That's all I was saying.
I get it there's blood in the water.

I think part of the reason we got here was they knew AM struggled with downfield throws and reigned in the offense to try and limit his mistakes. Sure, you cut back on mistakes, but the offense looks inept and not fun to play in.
I find the most shocking stat is Martinez ONLY attempted 20 throws of 20 yards or longer with 0 TD’s in the 2020 season. That sounds like a stat from 1920 not 2020! Certainly not fun for a kid with NFL aspirations....
You misspelled true.
No I didn't
I think Pelini’s success followed by Riley and Frost’s failure may ultimately do a reset on fan expectations. I don’t think any serious individual expects NU to go from where they are today to competing with the Ohio States and the Alabamas of the world. I would like to think they realize this is not going to be a pole vault to the top. It’s going to be a bloody knuckled climb up a sheer rock face. I don’t know if the QB who will turn this program “around“ has graduated HS yet.
As dire as our offense looks right now, if somehow our line could start playing solid football on a consistent basis, even our existing QB’s could start performing at a higher level.

Floodgates begins. Next transfer .... Luke or Logan or both.
Oh well, next year (again)

Frost is the guy for this program however he needs to coach a much more disciplined team. Northwestern is a prime example of a team that simply doesn’t beat itself. Hopefully Nebraska will learn to get out of their own way but that’s going to come with experience. This is still a very young offense the line, the running backs and receivers are all talented but young. Frost has had very few of his first recruiting class ( especially on offense) stick around. His recruiting efforts on defense are gaining experience and it shows on the field. Missing both bowl practices last season and the cancelled spring practice really hurt this young team.
Looking forward to improvement next season as there’s some depth developed and a lot of young players have a year under their belt.
My guess is we'll be seeing him. He wants to be closer to home and have the right touches. Well, KY overs 50% of his wishes. although Louisville, cinncinati (not likely) or even tennessee and ND offer the proximity. Purdue is where I'd lay my money.
Loved the way he carried himself and he did everything asked to help the team win.
I love all of the other speed weapons still to be unleashed. It's early here, but pretty sure the sun is coming up today.
Luke’s going to be a good receiver for us and I think Smothers has to feel good about possibly starting next season. Frost has already shown he will bench Martinez.
I hate to say this, but I think it's true. I don't know that Nebraska ever "turns it around" in the way that most fans want. Looking at Mark Schlabach's Way too Early Top 25, next season's first poll likely includes five Big Ten teams. Add in Iowa State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, A&M and UT and recruiting throughout "Big Ten country," the Great Plains and in Texas becomes even harder for Frost (and whoever replaces him, whenever that is.)
On top of the recruiting difficulties, Nebraska hasn't shown much ability to develop players on offense and beat teams it theoretically "shouldn't" beat for years now. With the exception of Wan'dale, Nebraska hasn't had a WR who's actually done much of anything on the field since Stanley Morgan, and now Robinson's gone too. Frost doesn't have a RB other than Mills who's done much of anything, and who knows if Mills comes back for another year.
Unfortunately, I keep coming back to the NFL analyst who Sipple quoted comparing Nebraska to Boston College.

Great post
I hope it is not Purdue. Transferring to another Big 10 West team would be an absolute betrayal.
