Four-Star Recruit
Miami, among others, came calling $$$$ for Raiola before they got Carson Beck “Igor” from Georgia. They might be on to something idk. Igor wasn’t their first pick
What Did We Learn? - Michigan

You're bordering on making a straw man out of what I wrote. You're making it into something I didn't write.
Of course, graduating Robinson and Hutmacher hurts this year's team immensely. But we don't know who might have stayed if Tony White stayed out of the guys that transferred out.
And also, Tony brought the intensity. I can't prove to you that John Butler has a significantly lower intensity level he's bringing to the defensive side of the ball. Can't prove it, but I personally tend to think that it's a significant factor, personally.

Fair point, but the loss of those two was going to be noticeable, no matter who was coaching the defense.

Went back and watched this game. Twice actually.
I’ll digress on the porous O-line (it was bad).
We have no run game, calling plays for runs doesn’t mean we emphasize it. Dylan needs to chuck it out of bounds sometimes to save a sack. etc etc….
Then, I went back and watched a bunch of games from 97-09. Yeah I get it we had the most and greatest generational talent at DL ever (who got robbed of the Heisman btw). E had a punishing run game, yeah we had early Bo shut down.
We started Cody Greene against OU in 09. We had Zac Lee and a Primadonna McCaffrey get snaps. As a starter.
Kelllog was a starter for us. Tanner Lee, Zac Taylor. All really Huskers but not gonna hang my hat on them as 9-11 game winners.
Short story long, it’s been a very long minute for Nebraska to cheer for a really really good QB. YES, as a true sophomore he’s not gonna look like what we want as overall team success.
But when we can make tackle in the open field (Buford) f’ing block someone (our tackles) and get a nice bruiser to get goal line TDs, we are where we are.
It’s so damn hard to win games at D1.
But Raiola is showing us something we haven’t seen since Martinez, Taylor…just some f’ing moxie
Also, block better. Tackle better. Beat the f out of the other team.

People need to remember/realize something here.
The next step in the rebuild isn't beating the teams ahead of us.
The next step in the rebuild is beating all the teams below us.
You can't become an OSU without becoming a PSU first. Franklin gets crap on plenty, but they win 10-11+ each year, which is how many teams they're better than each year. We're barely removed from losing to Georgia Southern and struggling against UNI. Does anyone feel like that's the case anymore?
We'll check back in soon, because the next four games are games we should win, and winning those is proof of the process and the development and getting better, but how many of you (who probably guessed at a max reg. season win total of MAYBE 10 but probably 8-9) would be grumpy about being 7-1 a month from now?

But…we’ve been exposed.
The coaches in the B1G are really good.
We can’t run the ball and we cannot stop the run. Check Cincy and M as a rule.
Our offense seems like it could score 21-27 points a game. Which should win us some games.
But when the opponents can run for 5.9ypc, and we give up 3-5 sacks per game, we have no shot.
It’s in the trenches.
I will say, and I’m very pleased about this, we don’t seem to turn the ball over as much.
