    I enjoy that someone spins Boyd's words of "we're a year and half away," meaning they are a year and a half away from athleticism levels he believes is championship material, and then turding another thread up into a Bo vs Riley record sh#tstorm. This sh#t is outplayed.

    This^

     

    The truth is Riley cost Nebraska at least 3 more wins this year through bad coaching and not just talent. Is the talent championship caliber? Probably not, buuuut they did beat Michigan St...so

    No "probably" about it, we do not have Championship caliber talent, that is what we strive for. Bo could not do it, give Riley a chance to recruit and mold that talent into a championship level team instead of bitching that he could not get it done with obviously inferior talent.
    Inferior to who?

    BYU? Nope.

    Miami? Maybe.

    Illinois? Nope.

    Wisconsin? Not this year.

    Northwestern? Nope.

    Purdue? Nope.

    Iowa? Nope.

     

    Hmm.

    Please take Miami off that list. And I'd also take off Wisky, imo.

    I'll give you Miami. Wisky, maybe, but watching that game I find it hard to say we had "obviously inferior" talent. Obviously inferior execution, for sure. Inferior gameplan, definitely.

     

    Also, I definitely agree that the talent needs an upgrade. We all want to see our Huskers in the top 10, top 5, regularly competing for and winning confernece titles and be in the national conversation, and we don't have a lot of the type of athletes needed to be there right now. However, we were able to beat one top 5 team and should have beaten another. Teams that have "obviously inferior talent" don't do that. "Obviously inferior talent" was absolutely not the reason for the bulk of our losses this year. Blame it on the transition, blame it on game management, players not executing, overall coaching, etc., which can be and has been discussed ad nauseam and opinions will vary. Maybe we lack talent compared to some of the top teams, but not to most of the teams on our schedule.

    Agree mostly in Wisky thoughts. I'd call it pretty close with them the slight edge, I bet recruiting rankings over that time would too. Combine that with talent that fit a whole different scheme vs talent that fit their scheme they had the advantage.

     

    Fair enough. Definitely agree that they had the advantage in talent fit to scheme.
