Todays game

[SnohomishRed]

We will get better and I believe Frost will do very well here but not today.

NW has too strong a defense and our defense is still way too inconsistent. While I hope I am wrong this game just does not land well for us.

Negativity right now is a killer for this program, expecting this team to do well and being upset at a loss or a beat down is not helpful.

Right now we are not a good football team. For today I am expecting an easy NW win - If I am wrong great but better to keep grounded this year imo.

They will win the turnover game. It will be close but the defense will step up and get enough stops.

Typical close game, 21-17. Huskers

we need to start winning some of these to at least be able to point to progress

I also have high hopes for Frost, but despite all the comments about Riley level talent, i can't honestly say that 17 games into the Frost era that we are a better coached team than we were under Riley - I know many will disagree - but right now we are getting Riley like results with the Riley level talent. I hope that begins to change today and with the rest of the season.

It certainly does not show right now - but all the S&C gains were not just puff pieces they are real. I believe we are a stronger team mentally and physically but we need to get the loser mojo out of our system

I think the team is supremely motivated to redeem themselves and finally play a clean game resulting in an offensive epiphany.

It’ll still be tough, but this game is critical right now.

We'll be fine...NW has back to back road games which is a killer...they had a very competitive but physical game against Wisky...and although we were wrecked by OSU I think we came out "rested" because OSU packed it in for the 2nd half. We will also be looking to prove we aren't garbage...and they are going to be very tired. Back to back road games are really hard

I do believe NW will be motivated as well. They can still salvage their season with a win today. Same as us.
I expect a dogfight.

Yes, for this year it is indeed a "must win" & extremely critical.

Doesn’t the loser mojo mean we aren’t tougher mentally?

I get nervous every time AM goes back to pass; I didn’t think it would ever get to that point with him (and I’m not saying the issues are 100% on him). But here we are. Hopefully we have enough success running the ball that we don’t need to rely too much on the forward pass. We lose the turnover battle but do just enough to eek out a win.

27-21 NU. NU kicks a 45 yd FG into the wind during a rainstorm after missing 3 extra points to send it overtime. We score a TD and miss the extra point. What!? It could happen....

 

[Ki113rSk3r69]

20 mile an hour winds today at kickoff. Normally we’re plus 2 by halftime, today plus 4. We still pull out the win, I hope. Otherwise, it’s praying for a bowl game after this....

Team sport, Martinez is the best QB we have by far. He is a good kid who works hard fans need to leave him alone

Don’t necessarily disagree, but that doesn’t really change anything.
