First off, wanna say that I'm rooting for you guys to get back in the Top-5 where you belong. Growing up in Oregon in the 90's (when quality football was nowhere to be found in the State of Oregon), Nebraska was the football program that football-starved Oregonians tended to identify with, and rooted for -- a small, mostly rural state that beat the odds, built a successful program, and began to lure great out-of-state to come play for them. While Portland is kind of "trendy" place to live these days, Oregon has never really been a sexy place to live; most of the state is compromised of ranchers, loggers, and blue-collar hippies (yup, truckers and construction workers that grow their own vegetables lol). While we certainly didn't take the same route Nebraska did to achieve success, most Oregonians feel like we're beating the odds right now thanks to strong alumni with a lot of State pride. I imagine it's a similar feeling in Nebraska. Anyway, when Scott Frost came on as our WR coach, I knew he'd be a great fit because of the program he came from, and because he played under a coach like Tom Osborne who was such an attention-to-detail guy that emphasized doing the little things right. So much of Oregon's recent success is due to how much value and film-room glory is given to great blocking -- particularly at Wide Receiver. As you may have heard, Scott was just promoted to Offensive Coordinator at Oregon. With the way the NFL appears to be headed, if Mark Helfrich ever decides to leave and Scott isn't back in Nebraska, he's might be our next Head Coach. I was in middle school back when you guys beat Tennessee/Peyton Manning for the National Championship, so I don't remember much about him other than he was a great player. My question for all you hardcore Husker fans is, how do you think Scott will do as an Offensive Coordinator for us? What were his strengths and weaknesses while at Nebraska(both on, and off the field)? Do you think he'll be Head Coach material some day? Also, how's next season looking for you guys?

Hey guys, Oregon fan here: I joined this board to find out more about this guy. Apparently we're recruiting him at wide reciever, most fans have mixed feelings about him, the people that are caught up with the "star-ratings" don't know why we offered him, but when you look at the measurables...6'4, 190, 4.45...BBall player and Decathlete... I guess the Oregon-staff thinks he has a lot of potential. Before you guys go crazy wondering wondering why we offered and you didn't--- Oregon has had a VERY HARD TIME recruiting WR's the last two years, and I think we're starting to get desperate. So we're looking at lower rated "athletes" or QB's that we think we could turn into wideouts. The only thing that makes me think he might be the real deal, is Scott Frost apparently thought enough of the kid that he got the Oregon staff to watch tape of him just a week after getting the WR job... he must be fairly confident in the kids ability. Kid seems to be pretty smart with a 3.8 and a 26 ACT, I don't know much else about him, if you guys got any info it would my much appreciated.
