It may be frustrating but that's a much better team than the one that would get boat raced nearly every year by big opponents. It's not showing up in wins but Vegas obviously knows something when Nebraska has a closer spread than PSU.

I'd give Frost at least one more year

The part that has to be frustrating for Nebraska is.........no team in the B1G is really good this year, yet they are 3-7. Every team is extremely flawed and there isn't a dominant team. OSU is at the top, but this year's OSU team is arguably one of the worst they've had in the 5+ years. UM and MSU are nowhere near as good as their records.

I think the B1G would have to send an all conference team to compete with Georgia this year. I think any team from the B1G who goes to the CFP and has to face them will be 2 score underdogs.

Agree 100%, its not Frost... at least not ALL Frost, he has the team in position to win obviously, too many close games to put the blame 100% on Frost. The players have to be accountable at some point, QB1 is not where it needs to be, that's partly on Frost because its his guy and he doesn't have one behind him good enough to bench Martinez but yea I'd give him at LEAST one more year if not two to cycle in/out a few more players.

I think Georgia is vulnerable because they don't have the kind of explosiveness Bama had las year. Obviously Georgia has one of the best defenses of the playoff era though. Ohio State's success over the next 3 games depends entirely on what's going on between Stroud's ears and their ability to defend the pass.

I agree it's probably their weakest team in 5 plus years as well however.

Georgia is so far ahead of every team in CFB this year, it is ridiculous. They have yet to give up 14 points in a game this year, even though they've played Clemson when they were at full strength, Arkansas, Kentucky, Auburn, Florida. They just beat teams up.

I think OSU goes on to win the B1G -- I think the B1G, as a whole, is a fraud this year and OSU simply has way more talent than any team in the B1G. Hell, most of CFB is a fraud this year. OSU has the most ridiculous skill position talent in CFB, but they are soft compared to years past. They don't have the lockdown corner like they've had for 10+ years. They don't have the all-american DE they've had for the past 10+ years. They have great DT's though.

I really wish I could see these WR's with Quinn Ewers next year, but Olave and Wilson will be gone. I think Stroud is a very good QB, but has issues if he has preesure on him.

It will be an interesting last few weeks. Would be fun to have UM and OSU both with 1 loss going into the last week, but not sure UM holds up their end of the bargain with a road game at PSU next week.

I personally see it as more parity than we're used to due to the covid seniors.

There are a lot of 2020 seniors that were not going to the next level anyway so returned for another year. Good decision as they remained on scholly and could get another year of free college toward a masters degree.

Nebraska's roster is quite young compared to others. Most of the Riley recruits had washed out in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Unless you're a Bama who's used to losing a lot of guys (underclassmen) to the NFL every year regardless, a lot of teams brought back some veteran rosters.

I agree with much of that I'm just fading Georgia's offense a little considering they've had such an insane D and their YPP isn't that impressive.

But you can win a title with this kind of D and a middling O as Bama has and osu in 2002.

that was a bad call. This game was full of bad calls and no calls that should have been. The refs were as bad as Nebraskas special teams.

my dad and I were talking during the game how Nebraska practically used to be known for good kickers because of how many good ones came out of here.

Huge kudos to Nebraska today. Regardless of their record shows, if they had any type of special teams, they would easily be bowl eligible imo. This game today easily could have been a loss for us. Going into this game I felt like this could be a trap. In my mind this had Purdue and Iowa written all over it for some reason.
Now, onto my beloved Buckeyes. May this be a lesson learned. Don't take any opponent for granted. Especially for nothing to lose and in a tough environment. Lincoln is a tough place to play. The fan base is top notch. Ryan Day has to stop being cute with the play calling. Play your game.
I expect the offense to show up next week and curbstomp Purdue. The Bucks should be an angry team next week. Hopefully Wilson will be back. Great game Brasky fans. Kudos @huskers1217 .
