  1. My guess is better off than the last three years, but in today's game your ceiling with an option attack is probably 8-9 wins and bowl games. You're never getting past the tOSUs with even the best option team.
  2. Sure, but this is not one of those. It's stupid to you, but to these kids whose lives revolve around social media and their following it might be one of the coolest things they can do. Ultimately, what goes on these kids jerseys should be more about what they want than about your convenience of knowing who it is. Every school publishes a roster with numbers so you can go look up any player whenever you want.
  3. I'm trying really hard to not drink the koolaid and get my hopes up this year and just take it as it comes. There was a lot of stuff to be excited about in the throws and catches in that video. Obviously it's a highlight, but still.
  4. Unless you're getting Trevor Lawrence every QB is going to come in with the expectation of development. There are very few if any true freshmen QBs who can unseat an returning starter.
  5. Where did I say they weren't trying to get better players? The post I quoted acted like Frost has only taken projects which isn't true. I guarantee if they could have gotten a better QB this year they would have. Frost and staff have said the same exact thing about recruiting over players on the team.
  6. I think it's more fair to say that Nebraksa has recruited 2 non projects and 2 projects. AM wasn't a project QB and neither was Smothers. He had legitimate interest from across the country, but committed to Frost and shut down his recruitment. McCaffrey was a project at QB, but after taking AM the year before it was likely to go that way and he was great player. Haarberg is a project QB, but when he committed we had three 4 stars on the roster at QB so it was likely to be a project year anyhow.
  7. So, do we tar and feather these seven or chase them out of town with pitchforks?
  8. Draft eligible Huskers continue to be pretty underwhelming talent wise. When that changes they probably win more games.
  9. I guess maybe I've hit apathy at this point because I kind of don't care...
  10. That's sort of what I took away too. He doesn't sound like someone who was interested in being part of the culture solution. We tried, didn't work, I left before the season was over.
  11. I'll take a player who hears he could be drafted, but instead decides to go work his tail off to show he's better than that. We can use as many players on the team with that mentality as we can get.
  12. Don't think the Duck-R or the small WR is going away in Frost's offense. However, putting some focus on big WRs and physical running backs could make it a much better position. In the B1G if a defense has to account for a good running game and physical, deep threat WRs they are going to struggle to stop a small, quick, shifty guy in the Duck-R from eating them alive. The problem with the position to date is an often dismal running game and the lack of any deep passing game.
  13. I agree that seeing more of Farmer, Clark or NPG seems appealing, but if Dismuke comes back and he's at his ceiling and those guys can't get a starting position over him that's not a great sign for our safeties. I'd rather him come back, get beat out by those three and provide solid depth and good special teams.
  14. Calling him out on his work ethic haha there must have been some real locker room divide the last couple years.
  15. I hope Wan'Dale doesn't leave, but if he does I don't know that I blame Frost as much as some. Wan'Dale probably hadn't been home in months in the middle of everything going on and then he went home and it probably felt great to be with family. Then if his family or others he's close to are pushing him to come home it might be too much to overcome. My wife and I went back to our hometown at Christmas time and both of us ended discussing moving home in more seriousness than we ever had. It was just so nice to be around family and friends. A couple weeks later and we aren't feeling that quite as much, but we still talk about. If Wan'Dale decides to go home I can't blame him and people can disagree with me, but I think it's more about being home than it is a statement on Frost or NU.
  16. I think you really do have to leave it up to the players at this point. If they are mentally done pushing a bowl game does no good. However, it didn't seem like a team that's ready to quit tonight. Over the second half of the season the defense has improved and the offense has done some better things. I think if you can get one more game and build on some positives for next year it could be a big win.
  17. I saw a media guy say he really wasn't throwing much in warm ups. Makes me thing injury, but not sure.
  18. And cheer as the winners go by
  19. Mills is a solid RB, but not explosive and with this offense you need at least one explosive back. I don't think you can write off Scott at all yet he's a freshmen in a weird season. Johnson is strange to me, in his limited game time this year he seems like he has great speed, can catch and hits holes well. Maybe his blocking isn't where it needs to be? Thompkins is injured, but man you can see the potential there. I think Morrison has been injured as well and is a freshmen so it's just a tough year for this group. I think at least one of these guys could emerge next year.
  20. Thinking the emergence of Betts and some other WRs is helping open Wan'dale up in the passing game. Teams can't key on him as much or others hurt them. AM finding him helps too.
  21. @HANC I've been an AM fan too but wanted the switch after NW. Now I wonder how Illinois would have gone with him in. I hope the offense around him keeps improving and he goes off next year for his senior year.
  22. We get better and better!
