To think simply a month ago people were ready to light the torches

If you're talking Lamar Jackson then yes. Without hesitation

That's the main reason why one would want the bigger size, right? Seriously, the "new normal" linemen these days is ~300lb, ripped, athletic, and can run, like that Nkemdiche guy. That's the way it's going as far as I can tell--if you want to be a contender, that is. Leonard Williams, 6'5", 291, remember him? Which DE's have given Nebraska OT's more trouble?? Speed Rushers my friend That's what I would love to see us get back to.....guys that can just run and get after the QB

Yikes

But Riley and Co are terrible recruiters........they must have gotten lucky on this one

Question for the masses, and not really sure how the rankings compared but who you guys feel is a better prospect Greg or Mo Barry

This

Say what you want about Callahan but the man knew how to call a game 2004 Iowa State begs to differ. He also had some stinkers in 2007 (Missouri, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State). I'm sure on every play callers resume there will be some stinkers thrown in there

Say what you want about Callahan but the man knew how to call a game

See, I'm in the camp where that is a balogna reason. Sure, it's his recruitment and he can do it however he likes, but that's a bunch of bologna and makes him sound very self centered. Totally agree...check the ego Noah

The last three were fired that should tell you all you need to know.....Not sure how you can rank Riley already after one season. That gap you think you see between MR and FS is that Solich inherited a Heisman winning QB

If you don't want to read it then don't open it.....no reason to be a jerk

Who? He is one of the head directors of recruiting on 247. 90% success rate in predictions. He doesn't really just guess. Often uses "sources" with his explanations. Idk I am just becoming a lot more worried about this one. If we lose Farniok my feeling about this class goes down a lot. ESPECIALLY losing him to Iowa. And ESPECIALLY if Iowa takes Alaric Jackson from us too (which Wiltfong also predicted) ON TOP of the fact that they already took Noah Fant. I know we have some other solid pieces but OT is a position of huge need and losing big recruits to Iowa of all teams would be extremely disappointing. To be honest I don't think he's ever been super impressed with this staff. I think he likes them but isn't over the top impressed or for some reason we just having had the "ah ha" moment for him. He's always been coy when talking about Nebraska so I always considered him the long shot and we were probably a back up for him. I think he's a good get so I hope someone else says something to turn him off and make him like us better. And what do you base all of this off?? He's been down to Lincoln a number of times. I wouldn't quite say we are a back up

It's pretty well known by now, or at least I thought it was, that TA wasn't taking direction for Langsdorf very well. He was channeling his inner Farve(who he spent time with last summer) instead and tried to be a gun slinger. Once he finally decided he f'd up, after the regular season, and admitted it he looked different in the Bowl game. Once he decided to finally listen to Langsdorf for the bowl game weren't as many crazy passes, better game management, used his legs more instead of trying to force throws. So, I'm not sure what you are talking about. Don't blame TA being selfish on Langsdorf. Langsdorf should bench his QB if the QB does not follow directions. If one player gets away with not being a team player, more will follow. Was Ryker a team player when he skipped summer workouts? Do you know the exact details of why he wasn't there? NO, I'm not talking about message board rumors. Until we know that, I'm not sure we can judge the actions of last summer. Whether you know the reason or I know the reason. Fact is he wasn't there. What are you his dad trying to defend him?

It to NU "shouldn't be in the ballgame" with teams like Illinois, BYU, Purdue, and even Northwestern. NU should be getting enough talent and coaching so that those are no contests in the 4th quarter and not coming down to the last minutes. This times infinity It's not like Bo was beating the brakes off Northwestern or Minny However, Bo was beating the brakes off numerous teams each year to get to 9 wins. I am not arguing that Bo should have been retained because he wasn't doing enough to get to NU to a championship level. I am saying that Riley can't be content with 4 or 5 blowout wins and being close (to win or loss) in the rest of the 7-8 games, and say "darn, we lost a few close games this year, that's why we didn't win the division/conference". I would say Bo's teams were much closer to going 5-7 than 11-2 the last couple seasons. There were some pretty unfortunate situations this year that caused the record (BYU hail mary, Tommy out vs Purdue, Tommy's 3rd down throw vs Illinois) All things that are easily fixable. For the WE ARE NEBRAKSA WE SHOULD BEAT EVERY TEAM BY 60 people. You guys need to wake up and see that's not happening with anyone anymore. Ohio State with MUCH more talent than Nebraska was skimming by all season with close games. It's a different game than it was 20 years ago it's time you join 2016

Why did Ryker skip? Are summer workouts mandatory? Totally agree, however these players were brought in by other coaches and been with them the last couple years. So there will be an adjustment period that will take place

Was one of Bo's better position coaches! Hopefully this is something the new staff can tap into

Any idea when his was taped? Because it makes this maybe a little more telling. Unless the coaches don't know what's on the tape. What is telling about it IYO? Why would we go visit him if he has made the tape and picked someone else? I'm sure he let the coaches know when he made the tape

Not enough for me But it comes down to my man Phil

I see what he did there

Not enough for me
