We self destructed our own momentum and handed them the ball and field position for so long that when they got it together the question was no longer in doubt. The old saying, “It’s not just about X’s and O’s, but Jimmy’s and Joe’s” is quite relevant here.
If people have watched football for a while, they know Rhule has rebuilt broken programs at places without any tradition - at both Baylor and Temple he had three wins, combined, for both teams’ first season. It got a lot better.
Again, recruitting will be the key. He can develop. That’s one place that Sanders has a huge advantage in the nation. Kids want it be part of the hype and the NFL vets that hang around it.
Time will tell whether top talent will once again want to come to Lincoln. I like the incoming class a lot so far. Hang in there.
PS - The Ducks are going to give the Buffs a big dose.
