Halfway through the 3rd quarter, up 28-17, Scott Frost calls for an onside kick, which was recovered by Northwestern. Northwestern scored 5 plays later, and goes on to win the game 31-28. One of the worst calls of all time. This guy deserves to be fired.
Nebraska tries onside kick up by 11 in 3rd quarter

I can’t imagine spending all that money to go to Ireland and watch my team lose in embarrassing fashion like that
Next Saturday boys! It’s on, let’s not do some stupid crap like that.
They had just took the lead and had all of the momentum . Just a flat out terrible decision lol
Seriously one of the most questionable calls I've ever seen. They had everything going at that point and a complete momentum swing.
Going for an onside kick outside of end game situations means one of two things, you don't respect your opponent and expect to clobber them or you don't think you can win without getting a possession advantage so you're willing to take the risk.
If Frost thought either of those two things he's an absolute idiot. I don't think he thought either of those and think he is just simply a bad coach at this point.

Huge event for Husker faithful. One ill-timed play may have decided the game. Bet Big Red Nation pissed right now.
"I think the entire state of Nebraska has a trade mission," Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts told USA TODAY Sports when discussing how the school decides on its travel party. "The governor's involved; there's a lot of moving parts."
The matchup has been well-received. According to Anthony, more than 13,000 Americans are set to make the trip for the game, making this the largest inbound tourism event for Ireland this year. In total, Aviva Stadium will host an estimated 35,000 people at game time.
"Ireland really embraces this," said Anthony. "They've got so much business growth and economic growth and employment growth with the U.S.. There's some direct outgrowth from these games and some that just naturally keeps growing."
For the teams involved, putting on the game is not without major logistical hurdles. Both teams arrived several days before Saturday's game. Nebraska has the additional challenge of juggling the first week of classes with this travel itinerary. To make up for missing three days of instruction, the team will bring academic advisers on the trip and set aside time for educational periods. Nebraska has to return stateside for a game against North Dakota on Sept. 3.
Nebraska will file its entire 200-plus person travel party onto planes immediately after the game ends. That plane is set to arrive at 5 a.m. CT Sunday,according to Nebraska associate athletic director Keith Mann.

Dude thinks he’s playing Madden
It won’t be stupid when we do it.
It's a bad decision absolutely. But let's not put it up there with punting the ball on 4th and 2 on the other teams 37 yard line, down 3 with 8 minutes to go against a team you haven't beaten in 30 years.
Some type of Corn, i'm sure of this
He thought he was Nick Saban and it was a National Championship game
Poor guy. I'm glad I'm not so invested that I feel compelled to broadcast from my toilet.
It was hilarious however.
"State Attorney General needs to file fraud charges" against Scott Frost.
Sign off was golden..... "There is no hope. .....F**k everything. Go Big Red."
