Big 12 per-spring power rankings.

I thought we had 10 returning starters on Offense.

 

2. Nebraska (18 starters back: 8 offensive, 8 defensive, 2 special teams)

Someone mentioned that to Mr. Griffin on his live chat today. He said he got the numbers off of Phil Steele's website or something. Either way, doesn't seem like he verified it very thoroughly.

 

Someone else in his chat today made the comment that 10 returning starters on a crappy offense doesn't make them better and that our offense will still suck. I don't think they knew that our QB was dinged up, both our RBs were dinged up at some point, and our whole O-line was off/on with injuries too.

And awesome sig too.

 

One more thing to add about Griffin's pre-spring rankings - I see TAM ranking higher than TT. Maybe that's just me, but TAM looks dangerous.

[huskerjack23]

didn't von miller stay? that makes them as dangerous as anything.

 

i'd almost put t&m over ou at this point, except they were so inconsistent last year.

if aTm could show any ability at all to field a defense they could contend for the league

Funny thing is they have 9 returning starters on D. They're probably the type of team that it doesn't matter how many D starters they return 'cause they got a lot of work to do. Period.

We have no soft games in the south. Texas AM is a road game that's one we should be concerned with

A&M is the Baylor basketball team of football. They have a really talented group but are never consistant.

[huskerswrkhavoc]

im guessing they are counting losing Meno and Brooks, along with Hickman, as being "3 lost starters" thus returning 8.. even though those 2 didnt start all year....

I failed to see TAM has a new DC - Tim DeRuyter from Air Force. This guy could actually do some damage with his pass defense schemes, & that's exactly what TAM needs with all the high-flying passing attacks in the B12. This is the same DC who made AF the #1 pass defense in '09, the same DC whose pass D demolished Houston's great passing attack with 6 INTs in the Armed Forces Bowl.

great point. thank god we don't sling the ball all over the field.. but as far as them being a contender in the south, that is huge. we may have to play em twice this year...

This is just my opinion, but I don't think the Sherman experiment will turn out much differently than the Clownahan one did here.

Hmmmmm...good point.

 

The Aggies very well may be a scary team to play next year. They ever get that 12th man crowd fired up again, it will not be easy playing there.
