If I were a defensive lineman, I'd be pretty embarrassed if I had to miss a season because of an injured thumb... I'd be shocked if he isn't ready by fall

Edit: I realize it's probably extremely painful and will take time to recover, and he may never get the full use of his thumb back.  It's his right thumb, so he might not be able to throw for track  & field either.  I do know he's a tough dude and he'll work his butt off to get back to full speed.

I heard Jamaica had a good bobsled team.

I think most people realize this is a multi-year project. There shouldn't be expectations on wins next year. This team was a disaster last year. Let them establish a culture and get their systems in place. Anyone who criticizes this staff next year for on-field performance has clearly never coached football.

I think you can say fastest in the Big Ten West.  I'm as excited as anyone about this coaching staff and the outlook for the team, but I'm keeping my expectations tempered for year 1.  OSU, State Penn, and even Michigan are still above NU in talent and speed.  Luckily, this staff showed in the Peach Bowl that those aren't the only factors that go into winning.

I agree with all of that.  I think with some better coaching and better schemes, we won't see running backs going 75 yards untouched, or TE's and WR's without a defender within 10 yards of them.  I think Nebraska has the better playmakers by a small margin right now (I expect this gap to widen very soon), and I'm excited to see that show up on the field.

If they get another Russell Wilson, they'll be able to push for championships.  QB has been holding them back.

I disagree that Wisconsin's skill guys aren't "elite". I've watched some running backs do okay against us in the past few years...

Are the receivers elite?  Maybe not, but I don't know if many people would consider Nebraska's receivers elite in the 90's.

2017 = 39th

2016 = 35th

2015 = 41st

2014 = 32nd

2013 = 40th

Probably, if you consider Cam Taylor a corner.  I was hoping for Montgomery or even Palmer.

Well in all fairness, the gravy is necessary - otherwise you just have dry bread... 

If we can at least get Washington, Tannor, and Canty then at least they've met some of the biggest needs.  Anything on top of that would be great - and I'd love to see one of the CB's choose NU.
