  1. Agree completely. It's been a wild and satisfying close to the 2020 class.
  2. I know it's popular to say that certain recruits are overrated when they commit elsewhere, but if I didn't know his ranking and just saw the tape I would never think he was a .93 composite. No expert by any means, but doesn't look that fast nor explosive. Butler and especially Greene look much more dynamic on film to me.
  3. Yeah I just looked and UCF has had 5 dudes drafted that played on Frost's undefeated team there. He definitely inherited some talent. And 4 of the 5 were drafted after the 2017 season, meaning UCF lost 4 NFL players and still were able to go unbeaten the following regular season with a new coach.
  4. It was also a little concerning to me when UCF didn't miss a beat the year following Frost.
  5. What's your point? UNLV, MSU, and Stanford all gained more yards and scored more points than we did against NW.
  6. Completely agree. At WR he's just a really good athlete that still needs to rely on the QB (who has some vision issues) to get him the ball. In the backfield I dare say he makes opposing D's feel the strain.
  7. He said that in year 2. Year 3 he said it was the best Nebraska practice he had seen, either staff. He was way off both years.
  8. I know nobody cares anymore since we have Frost, but Youngstown St. lost to a team with 0 scholarship players Saturday. Things worked out well for us in the end.

      Gotta love it. Bo still throwing the players and team under the bus for lack of preparation and lack of discipline. He doesn’t seem to understand (never has) that those things begin with him and are a direct result of his example.

  9. If we're going by recruiting rankings Michigan is far and away more talented than us. They have 20 guys since 2015 that were ranked .94 or better. We have 5. Eric Lee, L Jackson, Raridon, Tyjon, and AMart. Not only do they get way more 4 and 5 star players than us, they get higher caliber 4 star guys to go with it.
  10. Just curious why you say offense? He was ranked as a safety by 3/4 of the recruiting services. I don't think I ever watched his offensive highlights, what'd he play on that side of the ball?
  11. Stanford lost to SDSU this year while being out gained 353-254 and out first-downed 21-10. NIU lost to SDSU this year while out gaining SDSU 417-263 with a 22-10 first downs advantage (the difference was NIU threw a pick-6). So if NIU is a horrible loss for us, then what is Stanford losing to SDSU? Or perhaps both NIU and SDSU are pretty good football teams.
  12. But don't you hate statue QB's? I imagine that's exactly what you'd get from an NFL coach. You still high on Gary Anderson?
  13. Does Lee always turn to his left when handing the ball off? That third play in particular looked like if he turns to his right we at least hit for positive yardage. The play was very slow to develop by turning left. Is that by design football experts or did he turn the wrong way? (Same can be said for the 2nd play, but that looked to be more of by design to me?) Also it looks like play number two would have hit for a gain if the TE/WR at the top of the screen blocks it the same way he did in play number one. I can see no reason why he did what he did on the second play.
  14. Hey coachd! Weird that you registered to an OSU board just to hate on Riley there too. Did you actually start the phrase "Mediocre Mike?" Looks like most of them don't think he's so mediocre now.
  15. Ameer could run between the tackles with the best of them. Lower leg strength was off the charts. Rex lacked top end speed but had plenty of quick/shifty on the outside. Unless you are speaking purely from a measurables standpoint. Agree with you completely Warrior. Ameer hit a hole harder than most backs I've ever seen. He was a cannon ball between the tackles. And I still think people underrate Rex's athleticism because, ya know, hes white. Rex nearly always made the first man miss. In his draft class at the combine he was ranked as follows among ~35 RB's: Vertical Jump, 2nd Broad Jump, 2nd 3 Cone Drill, 4th 20 YD Shuttle, 2nd 60 YD Shuttle, 5th That's a combine with Gio Bernard, CJ Anderson, Montee Ball, LeVeon Bell, Kenjon Barner, Knile Davis, Christine Michael, Theo Riddick, Andre Ellington, etc. And that's my off-topic message for the month.
  16. I like our secondary, but it's nowhere close to being to talented to bring any any of the guys we're currently after.... Especially Johnson, Lenoir, and Blades. I'm not trying to belabor the comment...it just doesn't make sense. We have multiple 4 star players already in the room. We also, are looking at wanting to bring in two of the big recruits still on our board if we can. Most of our 4 star DB's were listed as safeties by the majority of the recruiting sites - Jackson, Dismuke, Anderson. As far as I can tell, Eric Lee is the only 4 star that was listed as a CB by all the sites. So I certainly don't think were overloaded with natural CB talent.
  17. I was a million times more embarrassed being down 63-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter in the 2012 BIG Championship to the 3rd place team in the other division, than I was to losing to Purdue. And that might honestly be an understatement.
  18. Scott Frost just Illinois'ed it against Washington. Pass on 3rd down 1:20 to go no timeouts for Wash.

      The most laughable anti Frost thig I have heard lately is, "oh he lost a Heisman QB, now he's not as good" well... Yeah he probly isn't, which coach is as good on offense when they lose their Heisman QB.....?

      Well my suggestion would be to have Mike Riley coach us since he is hired here already.

      Fair enough just curious to where you stood.

  19. 2006 even more, for me anyway I assume that was the Nunn fumble after getting the first down to seal the game? If so completely agree. Unpopular opinion alert, but I don't really understand why fans get so mad about 09, it was the right call, regardless of the reason it was made.

    Tons of teams, even yearly, have had the same levels of talent across the board on their defenses and not gotten anywhere close to the level of dominance of that unit. You can accredit all of that to Suh if you'd like, but I don't know how you can get past remembering that a ton of our quarterbacks and hurries were coverage sacks due to blanket coverage, which still continued after Suh was no longer on the roster. The 2010 defense was still pretty damn dominant and borderline elite, and even after that, we always led the nation in passing efficiency defense despite poor defensive line play (and no, it wasn't because teams had so much success running the ball that they didn't HAVE to pass on us). Things like holding 2011 Michigan State to 3 points, 2012 Wisconsin (the first time) to 56 yards rushing, and others still happened after the fact. How in the hell did he manage to set so many defensive futility marks here? I don't know. That's what's fascinating. I have no idea how to reconcile the two realities, because chalking up the entirety of the really good reality to a roster with NFL players seems way too ridiculously simple to cover it. That 2009 defense was not the most talented defense in the entirety of college football in the last 15 years by a long shot, Suh or no Suh, but it was right around the most dominant. That doesn't just happen with a mediocre neanderthal of a defensive coach. You can laugh and question people's intelligence all you want, but you're finding comfort in a very broad and simplistic answer to a question/situation that likely has a ton of nuance, so I'd think you have your own head in the sand more than you think. LOMS, I agree with most of what you're saying, I just think you might be selling the rest of that 09 and 10 defense short. 09 of course had the once in a generation player, but behind him was an NFL LB in Dillard. Then 4 NFL DB's in Prince, Fonzie, Gomes, and Hagg. I think one of the D-ends even got drafted but could be wrong. Asante too if he was on that D can't recall right now. 2010 Still had those 4 DB's, another NFL starter in Crick, and in my opinion a once in a generation LB in Lavonte David. Has anyone been following David's career, by some football metric stat he has been by far the best run stopping LB in the NFL and gets an inordinate amount of TFL's for a guy that rarely rushes the QB.
  21. Um... Then what do you call that? Is that the same thing as giving the team a free pass? I don't know, you tell me. He talks the whole article about expecting improvement on fundamentals, technique, and overall quality of football. Doesn't sound like a free pass to me? Just sounds like he's more focused on quality of football over quantity of wins in this first season, but you can and will make whether you want out of one sentence in an article instead of hearing the poi t of the article as awhile. It is you're right to do so and from your stance on things, I'm not surprised that you did. Bo's gone folks. He ain't comin' back, and soon I think you'll be glad of that, just not soon enough. First, you can quit with the Bo lover fallacy. Just because people aren't 100% drinking the Kool-aid doesn't mean they want Bo back. It weakens your argument. Second, this isn't a rebuilding job (or season) and any expectation or approval of such is in fact, a "free pass" for the season. I expect the offense to be top 20 offense (if TCU can bring in a new OC and jump 101 spots, we can stay top 20), and the defense to be top 40 (goodbye Bo). With this schedule, I think 10 regular season wins and a trip to the CCG should be in order. How about your "we can't fire a 9 win coach" fallacy. You were the captain of that train. Actually, what I said, was that it wouldn't go over well in the national media, and that people would question whether or not the fanbase would have realistic expectations. If you had spent any time on the board in the last 7 months, you'd know my thoughts on firing Pelini.That's bs. You stated outright many times it wasn't going to happen to a nine win coach until the Wisconsin debacle part tres. I remember someone asking you pre-Iowa game about your opinion of firing him if we won because of your long held stance of the sacred 9. You said something to the effect of there's no way NU was going to win that game.

  23. Please don't forget VaTech 2009. First and goal on about the 5? We ended up punting.
