I love the way coach frost responds to the questions. He’s honest, confidence and straight to the point. He’s not afraid to tell it like it is even about our own players. Love it ...
Scott we are so proud of you for coming here so we lost this game now we will win the rest I swear to it. The Huskers are back in the saddle again. Tom Osborne lost games but after years of loosing games he won us championship games and you will do the same .
Our Huskers played better than any recent game I can think of. I was bummed by the outcome but we started out in a good direction. GBR!!!! Born a Husker, I'll die a Husker 👍
He hasn't lost a game since 2016 so this is probably tough for him and the staff he brought from UCF. I'm sure he'll get it on track, but in the meantime I will continue to savor the wins here at UCF and be grateful for how he helped to set us up.
Joel Schumacher as a die hard Colorado fan, this is your guy. If there’s a coach you’ve had the last 15 years that as your enemy I can admit can take you back to the promised land, it’s him. Hell of a game I wasn’t surprised, if you guys are patient and our program turns the corner maybe we will get to renew our rivalry in the college playoff! Cheers and again great game
I'll be happy just as long as we show some consistent improvement, week to week, year to year. And I sure saw some improvement today. It can only go up from here!
Secondary needs the most work. giving up 351 yards passing (only 44 yards rushing) and 3 out of 4 TDs were thru the air. But I like where this team is heading.
Of course there's plenty of room for improvement, but this attacking defensive scheme is designed to be high risk/high reward. For all the pressure you apply at the point of attack to get TFLs/Sacks/"Turnovers", you risk giving up the 3rd/15 or 20 conversions. The DBs are on an island and unless you've got a set of shutdown corners, they are highly dependent of the line/LBs getting to the QB in a hurry. Just my 2 cents.
The 2010 blackshirts ran a very similar defense, they were a top 10 defense in the country. Again, the secondary needs work, though we might not see it this year. I'd say in 2 years we'll see the players Frost wants at those positions. Most the secondary are riley recruits.
Hey, considering this was our first game of the season against a really good Colorado team that'll likely finish in the top 20 by Nov. Not bad at all. No one else but Nebraska beat the Huskers. So we shake off the rust and move on to Troy.
Our secondary has always been our weak link, even back in the Brown boys days our secondary was weak. It's funny though how a great defensive front will make the secondary look great.
I'm not a native Nebraskan, but I have never been as proud of this team as I was today. If they just keep working hard they will be great again. Go Big Red!
Even though we lost, I'm very proud of this team. The defense had 7 sacks! Finally saw a team with some fire! We beat ourselves. Frost has this program turning around. Keep it up coach. I'm proud to be a husker!
Clearly, we've got the right man for the job in Scott to lead the Cornhuskers back to the upper echelon of College Football. I wouldn't trade Coach Frost & his staff for ANY of the others. NO WAY!...and that includes Saban or Meyer! Not on my life, and for me, it ain't even close! Thank God he's home!
I thought they looked much improved on both sides of the ball and their just going to get better we will be a great eventually probably by mid season!!!
Very proud of our Front seven, I mean 7 sacks!! our secondary stuck to the cu wide receivers like glue and turned their heads to avoid PI calls, that’s great coaching and barley got beat on 50/50 balls. Adrian Martinez showed moxy and poise with the run and making good reads for a freshman I see A Dak Prescott 2.0 GBR!!!
They played a great game. Mistakes were to be expected, but they stayed in the game all day. They never quit. That’s the difference, they were in it. Adrian Martinez is the man. Start handing out those black shirts.
We saw flashes of future greatness. Too many first game and freshman mistakes. It will be fun to see them as they improve. Excited for the season! GBR!
ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO ERASE 20 YEARS OF BAD COACHING AND PLAYING IN 1 GAME. BUT EVERYBODY WATCHOUT BECAUSE BIG RED IS ON THE WAY TO GREATNESS!!!! THANK YOU COACH FROST!!!!
If Mike Riley coached this game Colorado hangs 60 on us. We've got a long way to go but Scott will get us there. Husker nation just needs to continue to be patient.
Man this loss hurts like a pimple on my nose! But this team showed improvement since last year and I respected the way they handled being down 14-0 and came back ahead. Despite the mistakes this team will be just fine! GBR!!!!
I am glad that they lost because every team needs to experience trials and hardships before they become great. This is exactly what they needed. This is a good lesson for them and they will come out of this with a chip on their shoulder and fight even harder and become a great team within a couple of years. I predict they will finish with a pretty decent record by the end of the year.
Nebraska's secondary has problems. Their defensive line looks fantastic, but the problems seemed to be visible off the 10 yard slants the Buffalos were running. Nebraska's quarterback is phenomenal, good O line as well. Lots of talent here, just need to fix that secondary.
You and the coaches and the team will be kicking but !! Very Soon! You cannot be hard on yourselves! We Will do So Good soon! You all are awesome including Mr Scot Frost my favorite player I will always be hind you and the HUSKERS
Use of Color lmao we literally gave the game to you guys 3 turnovers 0-2 on key 4th downs dropped td dropped key 3rd n 16 bad clock management in the 4th Q got fucked on a spot when it was 4 n 1 reed accidentally hit the dude when they collided and y’all got the 1st down when it would’ve been 4th n 19 we basically gave you guys the win like basically.........
The 4th and 1 you didn't get fucked. They spotted the ball a yard short of the marker and the chains said first down. The yellow line on TV was incorrect.
No Colorado just made big plays when Nebraska came short. The fumbles where just good plays by Colorado and so was the pick. The final touchdown was pure skill. You’re just making excuses.
We did make a pretty bad play, but he also played a very good game otherwise. Sometimes it comes down to a game of inches and just plain lock, and Colorado had a lot of luck in the last quarter
If you were to look at the end, where Reed's arms flayed out, it appears he did a heavy push at the end which made the contact worse. I'm speaking from the position of devil's advocate here, because honestly, I'm sick of the garbage calls going on in football these days. It is utter nonsense. There is a risk averse culture that exists now in which they will air on the side of ridiculous caution in order to avoid a media nightmare in which they are accused of "you don't care about the players". This accusation has already been flying around for a decade. Nevermind that NFL players made millions, when they mis manage their money and die with nothing, it was the NFL's fault for some mysterious head ailment. I look at our military, farmers, deep sea fishermen, who do far more dangerous work and make far less money, and get nothing at the end of their career as an extra reward because "oh it was so dangerous". Don't mean to ramble on, but that's my position on this entire issue. Most of the flags are going out there because the offensive players lower themselves after the defensive player goes in for the tackle, it is preposterous how the calls are being made. Hopefully at some point common sense will prevail, but I doubt it. We are on the slippery path to flag football.
"It's hard to make a cake with someone else's ingredients". Other than Martinez and Bell, I believe most of the players used were Riley's players. Imagine what will happen once he has his own recruits and a couple years under his belt. :)
Real tough to win a game when spot the opponent 14. Colorado looked good their QB is a 3 year starter. I think we needed the Akron game. Our guys were ready to play. Shooting yourself in the foot doesn’t help win. Things r looking real bright in Lincoln. We love ya coach Frost.
SNAKEBIT.... A perfect storm of pure LUCK for the Bumble-O's, & just One too many mis-fortunes for the HUSKERS... & Maybe Coach has too much Class to talk about PENALTIES, but I SURE THE HELL WILL!!! This "Targeting" BULLSHIT is the BIGGEST SINGLE TOTAL KRAP Call out there!!! It damn near takes the college game, & turns it into some sort of "judge's opinion beauty pagent" deal where some some asshole Ref makes a knee-jerk call just because some kid go's down hard... BUT! By & Large, We looked SHARP!!! I am now MORE than EVER certain that Coach FROST is the HOTTEST, BEST, Most PERFECT FITTING Coach for our program, that God could have put on this earth for NEBRASKA.... Again, WELCOME HOME COACH FROST, you just IMPRESSED THE HELL out of the WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY.... Including ME... The improvements of our team's overall performance from last year's tomfoolery is ASTOUNDING...
5 things that Nebraska needs to work on. 1) Penalty for yards need to stop 2) Ball secured 3) No more turnovers 4) Special teams needs to do better job 5) DB needs to do better job
i have a question, and maybe its a stupid one, but Targeting, if they pick up the Targeting, its still a personal foul, but if they pick it up, why is it a foul at all, that makes no sense
I believe "pick up" is a metaphor for picking up the official's flag off of the field....meaning that the call for a penalty is annulled or withdrawn. He was given a penalty for targeting a defenseless player. (Unjustly, in my opinion-he wasn't looking where he was going, and they both collided and went down.) The officials also took time out to consider whether he had committed targeting, but decided he didn't. If he had, he would have been disqualified.
I haven't seen the D look that fast in almost 20 years, there are mistakes, oh well, but they looked 20 times better than last years team. They ran, a few bobbled passes, but gosh dang, so much better, 565 total yards, 6 or 7 sacks, way better. You can only improve.
man! it sucks we lost! and I hope Martinez is ok! I am still proud of our boys for not folding early like games in the past. I think its just a hiccup, and we should see something special this year! GBR!!!! THROW THEM BONES D!
We have fire in their bellies again!! Was more of ironing out some things props to Colorado great team ! But Nebraska had the game and gave it away . Good hard fought game. Look out Buffs it will be a even stronger freight train running through your town next year. Go Frost Go Big red!!
You sure are getting worked up about a team who went 4-8 last year losing their first game of the season under a new coach and a new system with a bunch of young key players who were denied their opening "throwaway" game the previous week. You must really have no life. I pity you.
Completely gave this game away. Without the boneheaded mistakes, Nebraska wins this by at least 2 TDs. NU is clearly the better team physically and athletically, but just made too many 1st game mistakes. It took us playing our first game ever under Frost and multiple mistakes for CU to escape with a win. CU fans know it. Hell, everybody that watched the game knows it.
It makes me so sad to see him like this today literally sank my battleship , bunch played like a winner , and im nervous about martinez being back next week if its only " semi enouraging" i would also like to see him rest even if it is minor and he is cleared to play, lets see more of bunch
Perhaps you should try watching the game without your Red colored glasses on. However, if you are as jaded and suffer from myopia as much as other husker fans are, that's probably impossible.
I don't wear glasses. I have normal vision. I am not jaded or angry, and I'm not even a fanatic. I enjoy seeing the team win well, but my life doesn't revolve around it. Nebraska could lose every game this year and I wouldn't care. It's year one. As long as they correct mistakes and improve, I will be happy. As long as they show class, I will be proud. I normally don't seek out press-conference videos but this one was good to see. Maybe you weren't paying attention? Both teams weren't very good. Nebraska had more streaks of brilliance than Colorado did. Colorado somehow managed to miss more field goals than Nebraska did. There was some abyssal battery (sure couldn't be called tackling), and CU's offensive line flapped in the breeze more than it didn't. Nebraska's team put itself in the position of not winning that game, and Colorado's team put itself in the position of barely winning it.
If Nebraska had gotten the opportunity to play their first game against Akron, the score would have been nebraska 42 colorado 19. Those first two touchdowns by Colorado would not have happened, and Nebraska would have scored two touchdowns, 28 point shift. No biggie, Nebraska beat themselves with mistakes but still so much better than last year
A better sportsman would have given some credit to Colorado who made plays when necessary and under pressure to win in a hostile environment.. Here is a hint: Start out by saying "Credit to Colorado for a well played game".. then go to your "we lost the game vs. them winning it" which is ultimately sour grapes. The "woulda, Coulda, Shoulda" posts here are always accurate, but hind sight and not relevant @ nothing but bluster. "We were a better team if we had only done this and that", etc, yada,yadda, yadda. You had the chance and did not execute. CU did when it counted. Accept it, learn from it and move on. Cu's QB was awesome under pressure and their wide out is first round draft pick. Martinez's health is obviously critical. If he does not go, Huskers are in trouble. Frost's Oregon offense with the many QB runs risks your QB's health and that is why many teams don't run it, they want to protect their franchise QB. Oregon won 9 in a row back in the day, then Dennis Dixon got hurt and they lost the next 4. Oregon was up by 30 against TCU in the Fiesta Bowl, QB got hurt and TCA came back for the late win. Just saying. Final thought, scheduling the ZIPS is an insult to the program. Gee, the "Bugeaters beat the ZIPS!" is that really the headline you want? Have some balls and schedule strong if you want street cred.
Robert Carter Here’s a hint Colorado and Nebraska don’t like each other! Start with that then you will realize why the coach of Colorado said better caught dead then wearing red! After the game neither coach shook hands. And it’s blatantly obvious you don’t like the Huskers so why are you even here in the first place?
This press conference is not to talk about what Colorado did. It's to talk about what Nebraska did. It has nothing to do with sportsmanship or "credit where due"... it's the coach's prompted reactions to the team's performance. Colorado is not a good team. Nebraska was not a good team on Saturday. But they were better than they have been the past 3-4+ years. You have no idea what you're talking about. Our schedule is one of the most difficult in the country this year. And Nebraska hasn't been known as the Bugeaters for over 100 years. Get with the times, for they are a'changin!
A “decent team” whipped the Corn Huskers on their home field. Now they are reeling all the running up of the scores from the Osborne years. Could not happen to a better program. Enjoy the winless season as the “decent” Colorado team goes to a major bowl this year. The past doesn’t matter Cornhusker fans....what have you done today.
Well the way i see it . we finally got the right couch in Mr frost , and we still have some tough teams ahead of us and we will probably lose a few more this year .we will be fine, we finally have the right man for the job just give him some time and you will see .he will turn this team and program around and get us back where Nebraska belongs .NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS .GO HUSKERS .
The more you tell us to get rid of our coach and "do what you're doing" the more it shows your insecurity. If I were you, I, too, would be jealous of the role model that Nebraska players and fans have in Coach Frost. I certainly hope that Coach Meyer doesn't decide he's in ill health again during his suspension, and leave your program-that would be a devastating blow to you and your ego. Having been very successful in the past, we know what it takes to get there and what we can achieve. We also know how to act when _we do_ get there. Perhaps you can take a lesson from that.
*BeastMode97996* Hash tags are stupid, and are a passive-aggressive way of stating something to be correct. If your coach "did nothing wrong" why was he suspended? Was he just the wrong coach at the wrong time? LOL You can talk all the trash you want, we're all just laughing at you.
His demeanor in this video was like he was told he's going to be fired from Nebraska. Well at least we know he absolutely hates losing. Hope to not see too many situations in the future where he has to be so down. Hope we win good
Wow what the hell happened to this once prestigious football program?!? Losing to a terrible PAC- 12 Colorado team?!? Apparently the standard in Lincoln these day's are really low.
Suprajdmxxx a 20 yr rebuild isn't a rebuild. This program has permanently lost it's swagger. Should never of forced out Coach Osbourne prematurely or his predecessor Sollich. This program as never been the same since it all starts with great coaching first and foremost and that feels like forever ago.
Mark Anderson while I do agree with we shouldn't have gotten rid of sollich, since then we have had bad coaching, we got the 2017 coach of the year, mark my words Nebraska will be back in the coming years.
give me a break people there's no way in hell nebraska should have lost this game there was nothing to be proud about if the players and coaches have y'alls mindset then god help them
Blah blah blah.... Same old talk from a new coach, 2 days ago you said the players are as ready as they're gonna be, I guess coaches failed to get them ready as they needed to be.... Dumb mistakes and some dumb coaching calls.... :-/
Practice and game time are two different environments. Lots of unknowns and "who knows" for inexperience players. Players who were denied their "free" game the previous week. The whole point of coaching is knowing how the players can improve and wisely guiding them to do so. This is game one for a new coach with a new system with a bunch of young players. Of course there are dumb mistakes. Stop acting like it's game 11 or 27.
@@jovetj I understand that, but discipline can be taught and coached, going for 2 fourth downs and not converting them is a bad coaching decision, punt it and pin them deep, they still had the lead at that point... Play calling in key situations was highly questionable, coaches saying 2 days prior to game that they are ready, ready as they're going to be... Great coaches find a way to win those games, that's all I'm saying..... :-/
