Whenever I watch these top 10 teams play I feel like my Huskers go into a gun fight with water pistols. The speed of the running backs and wide receivers, the size and quickness of the D lineman is nearly depressing.

Yep. Some combination of our talent and development consistently blows goats.
I'm pretty sure it's harder to recruit NU than a lot of schools we'd like to be competing with but we've also has pretty crappy results with a lot of the high-caliber recruits we get.
The silver lining I guess is that most of the best players on the team this year were guys Frost recruited. SO there's that. -
After seeing the teams in the BIG 10, none of them beside OSU recruit at an elite level. Penn St and Michigan get solid talent most years. The rest of the teams recruit to a system and do the best they can with player development. Wisconsin does very well. Iowa most years is 9-3 or 8-4. Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota seem to have turned themselves around and are heading in the right direction. Mich St, Purdue and NW have taken a step back this year. Rutgers and Maryland have a ways to go with facilities and recruiting. My hope is Nebraska can climb the ladder and bring in the kids who fit the system and we learn to develop them like Wisconsin.
On a side note it seems every football announcer who does LSU games has to spill the fact that Joe Burrow wanted to come to Nebraska twice in his career. It is sad that OC Beck under Pelini was such an a$$ and Frost already had his Qb when Joe decided to transfer.

I was watching an Oregon game and saw a play we run. I was thinking wow, that's how it's supposed to look. The biggest difference was the speed it was executed at. Our players looks like they are playing in mud.
Wisconsin does a very good job developing players but they also get them to play hard. They had to play a freshman DB against Minnesota and held his own against Minny's WRs. He wasn't big and didn't appear to be overly fast. He just played with a want to attitude. Sometimes I get the impression that our players aren't willing to make a play out of concern for injury. That wasn't even on the Wisconsin freshman's mind.
