I am really thinking about starting my own Husker Podcast.

I have been watching a ton of tape over the last few months. I think calling Nebraska's D horrible or abysmal is a gross overstatement, and it doesn't really explain why we lost 8 games. Despite not having a true nose, good safeties, and starting the best catch tackler/ most underwhelming 4 year starter in Nebraska history (D.Young); they didn't get a ton of help from the Offense when it mattered. Our Offense was so boom or bust, but mostly bust. There are so many quarters where the Offense did not put up points. If Nebraska is able to just eliminate scoreless halves and quarters, it changes everything. Let alone a decent jump on D would make Nebraska more than formidable. They could contend for the conference rather easily.

Pretty much agree @Vince R.. I would say the other thing to keep in mind was there was not only decent improvement as the season went along but we made significant improvements from the prior year. Granted, it was going from horrendous to kind of bad but that's significant progress in the right direction. If we make another decent jump like that we'll be in pretty good shape for this year.

Big thing is improving on 3rd-downs, so many times we had two good plays then blew it on 3rd-and long. Being able to field a bigger/stronger legit 3-4 d-line that can rotate should help a lot. Should be able to rotate at LB more too. Pro day showed how slow our safeties were, losing experience but gaining athleticism. Corner developed considerably over the course of last season. Not expecting big things but we should give up one less score a game and force some turnovers.

Lauren Cook and Ben Cotton together?

Good coaches know how to build a culture/system, ID & recruit the right talent to make the system work and ultimately succeed with that system.
They also know how to adapt their system to fit the talent they currently have available and still succeed.
Frost has shown he can do the former. He's got a lot to prove regarding the latter.
-
Sadly, the phrase by Coach Frost, "We all know where this is going", isn't going to hold any weight going forward. Time to "put up or shut up." I'm with @Vince R. feelings. Unfortunately, there is no momentum at all. We should all probably be grateful we hold on to the 4 star commits we have. Outside of landing Manning and Johnson, there really isn't a potential recruit that I salivate in bringing into the program ... my spirit says, "meow" to most. I guess that is what it should feel like after 5-7. Can't imagine how those of you feel who thought we would be better than 7-5. You have to feel really sick to your stomach.

I want to throw a name out there that I believe will make a big leap for next year and thats Kevin Maurice. Also for everyone wanting Stanton, I only see Tommy getting much better from here.
-
I'm not saying that Tommy is the savior and will be the next greatest qb at Nebraska but hating on him or saying he's not the answer at this point of his career makes you an idiot. Yeah I said it.

Trent Bray was ranked the 25th best recruiter in the country. Let's see what he does with a greater pool of talent.

We're officially going after Wisconsin's recruits

can a mod DM me for woodshed access please?

I really believe J.D. Spielman is going to make some serious noise when he gets to Nebraska. I'm talking freshman all-american type feats.
-
This recruiting season is such a whirlwind. I feel like I don't know who to key in on, or who to expect a commitment from.
-
I think this is great news.

My gut feeling is that they flipped Avante Dickerson. I hope I am right.

How is O street? Does downtown Lincoln get pretty fun at night?

Id' imagine that if your application status to UNL reads: "contact office of admissions" means I was denied?

That was one of the issues. Since I'm in CA, specific courses are different, either in the way they are counted or in their description. I applied to the UC system (UCLA, UC-Irvine, UC Berkeley, Etc) which I qualified for. I explained that and was told to apply. I've taken roughly 12-15 units towards my major already.

Nebraska is always at a disadvantage when it comes to preparation. Opposing defenses do not have to respect the pass. Do you know how hard that is for a staff? Nebraska needs to score on Lee. The woes on Offense will disappear (stay healthy) if Nebraska has a guy who can sling. Then the D won't have to hold teams to 3 to win.

Nebraska offered a ton of good players today.

Sounds a little like MN's version of Masry
QuoteHenderson told Rivals.com Midwest Recruiting Expert Josh Helmholdt that, "We still have all due respect for Minnesota and the coaching staff. The recruits there are still like my brothers, but this was something we both decided would be best for me and them going forward. They will definitely still be an option for me. They’re just trying to see how this senior year goes grade-wise.”

If we thought the roster turnover was something this year, after the season, it is going to be a complete overhaul.

@Husker Richard, he plays in the largest the class in Virginia, so the competition should be very good.

It's not about talent, and quite frankly, it never has been.
