Well Billdozer, that pretty much sums up what you are all about. Win at all costs! I hope you have a son good enough to play in the SEC and after two years he gets a letter telling him his scholarship is gone.

Exactly EZ. The two touchdowns on Evans were both covered pretty well. Their receivers made great plays on both. The other two were on illegal pick plays. The replays showed bad both were. Considering how depleted the D line was, I was pretty happy with the scheme.

So let me get this straight Billdozer. You don't think what conference your in dictates how you recruit? We were putting 1 linebacker on the field in the big 12. Now we are playing 3 most of the time. The SEC doesn't worry about it because they just yank the scholarships of the kids that aren't working out. Classy move by the way. When did we become so entitled that 9 and 10 win seasons are grounds for firing a coach.

Pretty sure Osborne didn't have top 5 recruiting classes every year. Lots of teams win without great recruiting. Callahan was a used car salesman that lied to recruits to get them on campus. Over signed his classes and still couldn't win. Just a flat out terrible coach. A lot like Mac Brown. Great recruiter, terrible coach. Bo was able to take his talent and make winners out of them. Does Bo have it all figured out yet. NO! He doesn't. But he is a FIRST time head coach. Would Osborne be any better after year 5. I doubt it. Would you be calling for T O's head? You can put all your eggs in the recruiting basket but I hate to break it to you. We are never going to consistently compete with warm weather schools in recruiting.

When you can pin your ears back and just rush your going to be more effective. Lets not overlook that neither of those guys would be starting if not for all of our D line injuries.

They wouldn't have to be run stoppers in the Big 12. Those schools pass the ball all around the yard. Almost every school in the Big 10 has a downhill running game regardless of their offensive style. Not saying the would be all conference but the were recruited for a different kind of football.

Just curious AF Husker. How many players do you think we need on defense for the ship to be righted? I'd say a couple of DT's and a couple of linebackers. Which could already be on the team. I think if we played the same schedule next year we could easily win 10 of them. Don't let your hatred of Bo cloud your judgement. Bo will be a elite level college coach. I just hope WE are smart enough not to run him off.

I don't think a lot of you guys are taking into account how much switching conferences has hurt the defense. We didn't need linebackers in the big 12 and we recruited a different kind of DT for that league. Bo has addressed these issues in the last two classes. I'm sure some of you here might remember the 90 team. Everybody was pretty down on the team. Osborne made some adjustments with the defense. I.e. switching to the 4-3 and recruiting more speed. 3 years later we were playing for a national title. When your winning 9 or 10 games a year you aren't far away from getting to that level again. It might be different if we were 6 - 6. Bo is a good football coach and with some patience he will get this thing turned around.

About the only change I would like to see is in special teams.

Great kid! Took him fishing a couple of times. Just wasn't good enough to become the starter.

You act like getting 5 star talent is easy to do Headley! It pisses me off!!! Take a close look at where these kids are from. The south and the west coast. Now take a look at where most of these kids sign. THE SOUTH AND THE WEST COAST!!!!!!!! You come on here and spout your nonsense when you have never been to a practice!!! You spout about all your contacts and insider knowledge!!! Big deal!!!! I know donors and NCIU members also! You are trying to compare this years huskers to the 93 - 97 teams when your should be comparing them to the early 70's teams!!!!! Osbornes first years as a coach!!! I want you to name a first time head coach thru years that has done what BO has!!! I've held my tongue as long as I can!!! Get a media guide and do some research. Osborne wasn't perfect! It was 10 years before he put a top 5 team on the field and he coached in a weak big 8. With no scholarship limitations. before spouting your ignorant 24 years old opinions on us!!! Ive held my tongue for a whole month. From now on I'm going 2 challenge your ignorance.
