Nebraska’s offense is not a well-oiled points-scoring machine.

There’s no consistency. When I say this, I’m not talking about the executions of plays on the field. The offense seems to be all over the board, like there’s no plan for what’s supposed to happen next.

Why?

I believe it is Scott Frost’s inability to delegate responsibility for the offense to his Offensive Coordinator Matt Lubick.

Frost has a lot to handle. He has to manage a roster size larger than most other programs. He’s the one that has to field phone calls from the police at 2 AM. Are they going to class? Are they showing up at meetings on time?

During games, he spends time barking at the officials. When he does this, he falls into “Bo Pelini” Syndrome - letting his temper direct his focus to the officials rather than what’s happening on the field.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on this.

Jon has a book out!

On August 21st, 2015, Jon unexpectedly dropped dead of a widowmaker heart attack. He was shocked five times on the way to the hospital with no response. He was shocked two more times in the ER. He was dead for over 20 minutes. A stent was placed, and he was induced into a coma. In January 2016 Jon received a second stent and in June he was diagnosed with an anoxic brain injury.

He wrote a book about death and recovery. The title, “Been Dead, Never Been To Europe” reflects the ironic nature of life, what happens versus what we want to happen. It’s available at Amazon in Kindle and Paperback.
