It's year 4, not year 1. If these mistakes were few and far between, I wouldn't mention it. We've been subject to comically absurd football for a long time now and at some point you have to acknowledge that coaching matters when it comes to these mistakes. Good teams don't make them. Even Illinois isn't making them like NU is today.Is the consensus here that Frost has just never mentioned to our punt returners that they shouldn’t field a punt at the 3 yard line while running into their own end zone? Things like that, Martinez fumbling, missing open receivers, Tannor’s roughing penalty aren’t happening because Bret is a better coach. At some point you have to realize that Frost isn’t playing Madden here… these guys have to execute on their own. They’ve been in plenty of positions to do that so far, but they haven’t.
A team NU should be beating handily is beating NU by 2 TD's with a first year HC and backup QB.
Yes, he's getting out-coached and badly so.
