Scott Frost to Oregon

Re: Scott Frost to Oregon

If we were second best we would have beaten western ad Ill st

We would have beaten Ill. St. if we hadn't dropped two passes for TDs that ended in 3 pts total.

Vs NDSU we scored too quickly in that our defense didn't rest. Seems odd to have that happen but that's my opinion.

Western was a total hangover from the NDSU game. Little emotion, energy or urgency. Sad that we laid an egg at home with a big crowd. As I remember NDSU lost to USD the same day.

You are correct. NDSU lost at home that day too. Our two teams take everything out of each other.

I don't know if we're the 2nd best team in the country or not.

But I know that UNI is one of only a couple of teams in the country that can stand and go toe-to-toe with the Bison and have a chance to beat them.

Most teams in FCS are just not physical enough to hang in for a whole game...most for not even a half.

The difference between UNI and NDSU this year is QB play, a more dynamic/diverse offense...and NDSU's uncanny punting game.

Re: Scott Frost to Oregon

NDSU, IlSU, and UNI are the 3 best teams in the MVFC and the 3 best teams in the country. NDSU is #1, the position of the other 2 is debatable. Doesn't mean all 3 cannot ever lose a game to other top teams, mostly other top 15 teams in the MVFC.

My point still stands

Have to agree with Mudra. It's also tough to look at one game, the NC, and assume UNI would stomp through that side of the bracket. I doubt that would've happened, and it's impossible to tell anyway.

If you were on the other side of the bracket where you should have been, NDSU would have seen you in Texas. Fact.

Scott Frost announced Mario Verduzco (former long-time UNI asst.) was one of 4 coaches getting the boot at Nebraska following news of his restructured contract. Kind of surprised Mario lasted that long there.

Frank Verducci, who has a bunch of Iowa ties is one of the coaches moving in.

If Frost tanks another year at Nebraska, he's probably out. Would UNI be a potential rebound job for him if Farley decides to step away?

Wonder if Mario would come back to Cedar Falls. Honestly I'm kindof expecting he's about ready to retire, he is certainly getting up there.

I’ve watched parts of several Nebraska games this year. Their D is pretty tough, with several starters returning next year assuming no transfers. The “no transfer” thing is tough to judge, since a few of their defensive guys would be in big demand if they left, particularly their young LBs. If everyone returns, Frost will have a solid defense to make his last stand.

Also, if anyone is looking for an investment opportunity in a few weeks, take Nebraska and the points as a home dog against Iowa. That assumes no injuries, and Nebraska finding ways to lose until that point. Iowa will be overvalued in that game.
