When 9 wins a year isn't the whole story.

The salient point that's being ignored here is we weren't all that good even before the injuries.

obviously you and i disagree with others, but this is was i have been arguing. i think we are still a 4 loss team if healthy, maybe just a 3 loss team. but we still miss the ccg and a bcs game.

Don't agree...I see us picking up 2 more wins at the very least in Minnesota and Iowa if everyone is healthy.

Just like you guys have this feeling we're a 4 loss team, I have a feeling we're a 2 loss team if we stayed healthy. So we'll agree to disagree.

Lost Minnesota with Taylor playing. Bo thought he was healthy enough to play.

Your post has no bearing nor anything to do with anything I said.

A curious stance, especially since you claimed in magical no injury land, Nebraska beats Minnesota. And the person directly responsible for who starts thought Taylor was healthy enough to play and beat Minnesota. He, obviously, was wrong. You are too.

Unless a healthy Taylor and/or Spencer were playing DT that game against Minnesota I don't think it matters that game. We got dominated by their offensive line all game long. Remember Thad on his a$$ all game 7 yards off the ball? Still a loss.

UCLA was obviously still a loss as both played that game. Again, unless we were going to put a healthy Taylor at safety we lose that game.

MIchigan State, with Taylor's penchant for turnovers, I don't know if it makes a huge difference. Line played awesome that game without Long. Still a loss.

Iowa, not sure. Defense played well but turnovers would be probably identical. I think we probably still lose that game. It was a 3 TD difference.

This season is over. What happened, happened.

Let's move on hoping we fix these issues and win them all next year.

You must have had your head in the sand for half the season if you think Taylor was playing 100% versus Minnesota.

Bo played him. Not me. Might want call him stupid instead of me.

 
Was it Minnesota that was down to about their 4th string RB, or was that Iowa? I can't remember.

Bo is going to have to win a conference title soon if he wants to continue as coach here, and he knows it (...) it'll eventually get to the point where people will say let's get a guy in here who can better overcome challenges if Pelini can't win.

Yeah, exactly.

Iowa has been down to their 4th string running back for the better part of 3 years. Seems like they have 1-2 transfers every offseason, then an injury before some walk-on puts up 1200 yards in their place.

Northwestern was down to a 6th string RB and Colter was banged up against NU this year as well.

 
I can't believe that the healthy offense would have changed the outcome vs. Minnesota theory is still around . . .

I've said this before and it still sticks. Bo is going to have to win a conference title soon if he wants to continue as coach here, and he knows it. If every year ends in similar fashion, and the same or different reasons crop up for that ending, fans and administration eventually grow tired of it. Recruiting was rough for a few years, our coaches are still learning, the administration isn't forward thinking, we had too many injuries to be competitive, or whatever else we can come up with. As I said, it'll eventually get to the point where people will say let's get a guy in here who can better overcome challenges if Pelini can't win.

+1. It's now year 7. The time for excuses is over.

Go get it done.
