I just can't agree with this. There is no way this season will be Bo's best season unless we dismantle Georgia. In 09', we finished the season extremely strong. We lost by one flipping second in the Big 12 Championship game to a team that went on to play for a NC. I can't for the life of me even begin to understand how losing to an unranked team as bad as we did in the second to last game of the season makes this Bo's best season. The B1G looks like the Big East usually does sending their unranked conference winner to a BCS bowl. The B1G is not good at all this year which makes it a little difficult to just look at wins when determining if this is Bo's best season. Bo was brought here to fix the defense which is exactly what TO said in why Bo got the nod over Gill. This year, we broke a several decade old record for most yards allowed in a game against UCLA. Against Wisconsin, we broke the record for the most yards rushing ever given up. I'm sorry, but there's no way this season can be declared Bo's best season at NU.
i agree with a lot of what you said, especially about the B1G being so weak. however, the offense is as good as it has ever been under bo and i think our defense, although pathetic at teams this year, can turn it around quickly. looking at the whole season, i still argue this is his best. '09 the north was weak and we got spanked by ttu and lost to iowa st., but we played a good game against a good team in the championship. this year, we won the better division, but shat the bed in the champ game. the lows were bad, really bad, but overall we were more consistent and on the whole a better team.
bo proved he can coach a top defense in '09 and a great offense this year. he needs to put it together and it start with line play and getting the personnel he needs on defense.
Here is my problem. Look at that roster in 09, how many were future NFL players? Suh,Gomes,Dennard,Amukarama,Hagg,Crick,Dillard. Didnt Allen have a good shot at making a roster before injury? So 7.5, how many who get pt on this roster will play on Sundays? Maybe Evans, Green? How hard is it to coach a D that is pretty much NFL ready? He can coach up talent but judging from his recruting this far he will never have that much talent again. So put me on the page that says he will never do better then getting destroyed 3 or 4 times a year.
