    The people that think he wanted to move from Nebraska to Texas to get away from conservatives is an amazing take...

    The conservatives in Texas aren't trying to take control of the Universities. Think about for a second that these people are dumber than Texas politicians and that should tell you all you need to know.

    Yes…and the governor. 
     

    there needs to be some serious soul searching with Nebraskans. 
     

    Fugg. 

    I mean he probably isn't as hands on in the universities but going to Texas isn't and upgrade in governor. Texas governor is one of the worst people imaginable.

    I’m not sure that Lenhardt is truly considered an edge. It’s hard to define an “EDGE” anymore, so not saying you’re wrong. 
     

    He should have graded out close to the top of whatever they consider his position to be for freshman.

     

     

    EDIT- looks like he is listed as an EDGE in PFF, shows what I know. 

     

    Yeah I even questioned it a little myself but I distinctly remember his rushing from outside the tackle at some points last season.

    How did Glenn Thomas offense fair at Arizona State? I ask bc I know Herm Edward's got fired but was the offense the problem or something else (NCAA violations, defense)?

     

    Offensive rank was not great but better than we were this year. He had to split the year with 2 QBs each playing about half the games and both had better years with him than without. They set a school record that year for completion percentage. Their RB had 1192 yards 16 TDs and 5.5 ypc.  Nothing mind blowing but it was one year and who knows what kind of talent they had. I do remember watching some ASU games from that year when Thomas was rumored to be the OC hire and they ran some interesting routes that looked effective.

    That would be an interesting fit.

    Yeah seems like a strange one to me but if I was a school looking right now he would have to be near or at the top of my list. 

  6. Well not to keep this game going but saw a stat about Michigan that related to Minnesota so I went back to look at their schedules and they were actually playing vs high school teams back then. Minnesota's first claimed titled they opened with a high school and also played a game vs a boarding school so high school aged kids.

    From what I can see he was a low 3 star as a prospect and hasn’t played much the last few years. What is there to be excited about? 

    That was all from injury. It's a risk if he can get and stay healthy but his upside is all conference type WR.

    One of the most annoying things that came from COVID was the normalization of the fist bump...

     

    Better than touching elbows, I guess :dunno

    Working in a kitchen we did elbow bumps way before covid.

    I’ve never understood why the Minnesota comparison is so prevalent when discussing Neb’s modern day struggles. Acting like a program whose dominant era predated integration and any resemblance of the modern day game is somehow comparable to the what cfb has been for the last 40-50 years makes absolutely no sense to me. 

     

    Some food for thought. From 1962 to 2003, Neb didn’t have a losing season. One .500 season in there, but never a losing season. No program can say that, let alone any of the 7 other blue blood programs. 
     

    I also think the “Neb has been bad for 20 years” trope is largely overstated. Yes, we took a step back. But I ran the numbers in another thread a while back and from 2003-2016, Neb kept pace with most of our B1G peers for wins, losses, bowl games and top 25 finishes. The lion share of our “terrible” 20 year stretch is mostly indistinguishable from the likes of Iowa, Penn St and Michigan.

     


    It’s obviously been historically bad since 2017. But Blue blood status doesn’t just go away because of a couple bad coaching hires and a bad 7 year stretch.

     

    I feel like that is an easy cutoff line for me. You can find other reasons to move it up more maybe, but for sure no championships before integration should bear any relevance.

    That stat is pretty crazy. Penix was a world beater this year, though.

     

    I had thought that Jalen Milroe wasn't maybe up to snuff with some more recent Alabama QB's but then I looked up his passing stats for the year...he had a 65.8% completion percentage this year, along with 23 TD's and 6 INT's.

     

    Kind of reinforces how you pretty much don't make it to the top these days without an elite QB. Good thing we have one coming in.

     

    Wow thats crazy because I thought the same about Milroe and would not have guessed that about his stats. I do think that players like him and McCarthy, and Ewers are probably like the baseline you need to make it that far in cfb, but you need a good team around to win. They are definitely not elite but play well enough to move the ball when needed.
