This team is one serviceable, doesn't even have to be average, QB away from already being bowl eligible and in the driver's seat for the West

Lol...we are and teams are realizing that is all we can do and they are playing the run more and more every game.

To be fair, we don't have average QB's

Yeah, it is completely unreasonable for the OC to expect a college QB to complete passes

We literally just need an average QB

So he should stop asking them to not turn the ball over and complete passes

I think he is a legit OL coach in my personal experiences with him. As far as "clout", I cannot think of any OL coach that has clout with recruits...outside of building a solid OL system, so obviously he would have to build that, which I think Best has the chops to do.

A good one. In all seriousness, go grab Aaron Best from Eastern Washington (current HC).

Hell yeah...was hoping for an NBC night game

For the non quoted parts of your post, I agree...but this quoted part, I just don't see where one could even get that take...we looked the same we have all season.. a good D and a s#!tty O...we are, and have been a 50/50 team against anyone that we are in a 60/40 or 40/60 percentage of winning/losing

That's just a big ole'....OUCH

Awesome point...i get excited when we get 3 yards. I don't blame the coaches on this though, at least this year, we just lack basic players to make it go. We have some talented dudes on O to be clear, but there is no connection points to put it all together. It's like our O is playing with a basketball instead of a football...it's still a "ball" but it makes the game look awkward and glitchy.

Solid observation/fact

That's fair point on AM if we had him this year

...additional thought, for how "jacked" Fidone is...he blocks like you would expect someone with gym muscles to block...not good

I just found myself amazed, again, at the past couple years of just pure 100% misses in QB talent. I mean we are not an above average P5 team, below average really....BUT, we are a historic Blue Blood with a rabid fan base and amazing facilities...and we simply recruit QB's who were obviously starting QB's in HS but also the starting and/or 2nd string player on defense, and likely better at that position than QB...it's weird.

If it is something (turnovers) that has spanned different coaching staffs, what do you see being the culprit other than it truly being a cognitive awareness by a group that "we fumble alot (program issue)?

Really? You are sitting here seeing the personnel they have and your take is "its their fault"? It's like we are asking a cook to make something but we are not going to provide any food AND you have to make it all in the janitors closet. The O staff gets a 100% pass on judgement this year by me.

Unless I missed it, surprised no one has mentioned the RB screen...for an OL that struggles to pass pro I am surprised on how little to never we run the RB screen

Funny you reference that...1st quarter my mind went right to that and the 2009 game

Joe Dailey would be up for Husker Heisman consideration

Sorry...I'm "learning". Get outta here with that

Meh...HH had 2 dudes wide open on that first pass, guy on sideline woulda been a TD. He (Sat) gets a complete 100% pass from me this year, we have possibly, the weakest O makeup of personnel in the P5.

..lol...but he caught it...knowing when you sound dumb and immediately reflecting is a quality trait...in anyone
