Enhance Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 my only beef is when you compare what MU has left to others say, KU & ISU, you see that MU's guys put up better numbers and are younger. Then you look at the recent history of which programs have put together some what of a track record of being able to produce WR talent every year and again MU is much better than the other teams. I can live with NE's rank simply because of the unknowns of the other teams and what is know for NE. As always its just one guys opinion 5 months before the season. And he has a right to his opinion. No matter how wrong it is. Exactly. Missouri always reloads at WR and generally has the best receiving corp in the North. At least, that's how it's been over the last few seasons. They should get the top spot just by default. Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 saying that MU always reloads at receiver is very short sighted. yeah the last 3 seasons they have had a couple good receivers but you cant say that about most Pinkle receivers before that. a couple good players does not mean a team is "reloading"...

huskerguy Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 That is a pretty pathetic list of players though for all teams... Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 The biggest reason I would put Missouri atop this list is they have the best passing QB in the North. Good receivers don't mean diddly if you can't get them the ball. Plus Mizzou has a pretty good young O Line that should only be better with last season's experience. Quote Link to comment

However though, Mu has had a 1st or 2nd team player in their recieving corps 6 of GP's 9 seasons. 7 of 9 with atleast a HM on all B12. And the 2 seasons were MU didnt have a recieving corps member honored, their leading pass catchers those years still received NFL tryouts or spent time on NFL teams. That is a pretty good 9 season run, and not short sighted for someone to believe that MU 'could' again have a nice recieving corps. Quote Link to comment

That was actually NU's 2nd defeat that year, so technically that game didn't really ruin their season. They still ended up in the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma whom they played twice that year (regular season and bowl season). NU's first loss was against Alabama in the season opener.

fro daddy Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 still a great season Nexus. But from all accounts from the 'old' husker fans that I know, the loss seemed worse than it really was because it followed the fist win over Oklahoma and NE looked to be a lock to play for a NC. Anyway, that is the first thing any older NE fans brings up to me when we talk NE/MU. I even had a husker DB on that 78 team tell me it was the greatest run he had ever seen. I dont know about all that. probably just the moment and situation of a back and forth game. It was a great individual effort...and gave me something to raz nuance about. Lord knows as a MU fan I dont have to many options. Quote Link to comment

But NU wouldn't have been a lock for the NC game because of their loss to Bama earlier that year. Bama ended up in the NC game with one loss against an undefeated Penn St. team. Bama upset Penn St. for the title that year. Quote Link to comment

I’ve heard Wilder was a heck of a good RB. For Mizzou. And Wilder's little 5 yard TD run in that 1978 Mizzou-NU game was impressive. Probably not as impressive as Rick Berns’ first carry in the game. An 82 yard TD run. Back to receivers, that 1978 Mizzou-NU game featured a couple of pretty good TEs—-Kellen Winslow and Junior Miller. Not many games have had that much talent at the TE position.

Speaking of Wilder, he has a son who is a highly touted prospect in the 2011 recruiting class. He's ranked as the 6th best prospect in the nation by Scout. Another interesting connection to Wilder's son is 2011 Nebraska recruit, Tyler Moore. Wilder, Jr. and Moore squared off against each other in the state playoffs in Florida. The newspapers down in Tampa was buzzing about that match-up since both players are considered the best at their respective positions in Florida. Moore even wrote a short piece to the Tampa newspaper after the game telling them how to block Wilder, Jr. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I always thought the way Bienemy(sp) ripped the NU defense a new ahole was probably some of the best by an opposing team in Memorial Stadium. Quote Link to comment
