    Yes, we need a coaching staff who can either recruit blue-chip QB's, or take average QB's and coach them up. We're seeing none of this, this season.

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

    Regardless of their individual skills or lack of, they shouldn't be asked to execute plays utilizing skills they don't possess.  I put a lot of this on Satterfield. 

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

    Honest question, Would he have clout to recruit or would this be just as much of a head scratch as Raiola is? If he’s that good then it would be a win-win for both the programs we root for because he’s not hacking it in Cheney while the Montana schools right themselves at Ewoo‘s expense 

    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.

    I kind of got the feeling Nebraska just expected to turn up today and win. At no point did they appear to match MSU's intensity, effort, or desire. It seemed like it was penciled in as an easy win...

     

     

    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

    Nebraska makes offense look hard.  Nebraska makes passing the ball look hard.

     

    Amazing how easy it can be watching other games today.

    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.

    I honestly can't remember the last time NU had 2 QB's on its roster.  Maybe Keller/Ganz?  But Ganz only got the start because Keller broke his collar bone.  NU has had a history for years of getting QB1 as a Fresh and not needing to recruit another quality guy until QB1 was a senior.  We recruited a lot, but none that I recall were ever a threat to unseat he incumbent and there was always a pretty decent drop off from QB1 to QB2... 

    Solid observation/fact

    Hard to build a QB room when you have a true freshman starter that would need to be unseated. As soon as A-Mart happened you had at least 2 years of QB misses. That said, AMart would win the division even with this line.

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

  8. 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.

    I guess there could be some truth to this.  But it seems pretty hard to believe when we have a new HC, new OC and new QB (at the start of the year) and still have the same issues.  Even HH had barely played before.  

     

    I could see it more if it was the same players year-to-year.  But I don't really buy that for this year.

     

    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)?

    My favorite Jake Butt moment was when he dropped  "they are moving the ball when they aren't going backwards"  then his awkward pause of how that didn't come out the way he wanted it to

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