First game Illinois vs Nebraska/Week 1 thread

I enjoy when Nebraska wins but I don’t think they’ll ever get back to 10 wins in a season.

They look bad offensively.

Adrian Martinez has been bad for four years, and even worse, they have nobody to replace him.

$20 million buyout ! Unless his current issues get him run off “for cause”.

It’s crazy for me to see this too. I was born in 84’ so I remember the mid 90s teams that were nearly unbeatable. Crazy to see how the mighty have fallen. Will be interesting to see how Alabama looks in ten years.

Solid write up on Frosts recruiting mistakes.

i dont want to say this but nebraska is making ne anxious about our game… Nebraska was in a borderline identical situation to us … between coach perception, expectation, qb debates, level of opponent

i really hope we dont come out like this next week

Feels like Martinez has been their QB for nearly a decade and I can’t remember seeing a game where I thought he looked good.

A little redemption for Martinez….75 yd td run.

I’m watching. Scott Frost pulling a Herman, Nebraska looks really bad all around.

Does Martinez remind you of Tune?

no, completely different types of players’

but both are extremely controversial within their fanbase… no major success in underclass years and in the preseason either people projecting greatness or others saying they want a different qb…

their situations are similar but different types of qbs

Imagine being dumb enough to leave UCF for Nebraska. Yikes.

Do AAC HCs ever do well after bailing on their teams?

Numerous big penalties adding to Nebraska woes.

I feel their pain. We’ve had a serious QB problem of our own the past two seasons with no one that can replace him. We might be a week away from a complete and total meltdown if Tune continues to mirror Martinez’s QB performance.

Well, it is home…the lure to turn it around would be hard to pass for most….especially if you were The Man during the glory days. Never seems to work out to well…cough…cough Clyde

Tune can throw a lot better than Martinez, Tune is just more talented in my opinion. But like pesik said the situations are very similar.
