I don't know if this is going to work out for Nebraska. This one was down to coaching. Kirk Ferentz was masterful; Scott Frost and his staff dreadful. Ferentz knew his players' capabilities so well that he forewent a 4th-and-go and a field goal for a punt, confident in his punter's ability to pooch it and back Nebraska up, correct on that one, confident in his defense's capability to stop Nebraska three-and-out, correct on that one also. And then...what, confident in his QB? I'm tellin' ya, Nate Stanley, is AWFUL. I watched his pick six. Stanley looked one way, at one guy, Stevie Wonder could read Stanley's eyes on that one and two Nebraska defenders did. The guy was covered like a blanket, Stanley threw it anyway and Nebraska still almost fucked it up. The ball popped out of one Neb defender's hands, into the air and fortuitously into the second Nebraska defender's hands who ran it back.
Yet, Ferentz put the ball right back in Nate Stanley's hands. Pass the ball, Nate, not 11/24 like you have all day so far, not to one of the guys in the red shirts, pass the ball Nate to one of the guys in the "Steelers" unis like we taught you. How does that guy run a two minute drill on you in thirty-two seconds like he's fucking Joe Montana? Pass complete, 22 yards! Pass complete, 22 yards! What did Nebraska think, Iowa was going to run off tackle for 44 yards in 32 secs? How are you not in blanket coverage on the receivers? Come on, man. This one is on Frost and staff and I don't know how this is going to work.
