cm husker Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 R Kay strikes me as extremely douchey. So blame the guy who posted the video instead of Utter? It's not about this clip. It's about the way he's operated on Twitter for a while now. And yes, posting a single f up or two while not posting examples of strong play is douchey. Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'd need to see the tape. But it's kind of incredible that a guy so supposedly bad would start about 23 games at this point. People see a couple of bad plays and jump all over a guy while ignoring what is done well. If we are so weak in passpro, maybe we should give these guys a better shot by running more and using true play action. That would take a lot of pressure off guys like utter. The coaches have to start 5 players on the o-line. Utter is not good, but he's the only guy who can do the job this year. That's why he's been starting for 2 years. How can he possibly be the only guy who can do the job? Quote Link to comment

Pretty obvious. 5 Quote Link to comment

How can he possibly be the only guy who can do the job? The only other center on the team is Decker, and he's having issues. The coaches have decided to redshirt all the true freshman. I think it's worth arguing that the freshmen could be playing, but to say that Utter is not bad just because he's started for 2 years is a flawed argument. Quote Link to comment

Look at NUs recruiting on the OL during the past few years. Compared to most other P5 schools, it's been very good from a recruitnik perspective. This staff isn't really changing the approach/numbers, so if they don't have enough depth to be successful today, I'm left wondering why anyone thinks they'll have enough 4 years from now.

Please tell me you're joking? Please list the Junior and Senior lineman that contribute to our line. Now of that list how many are walk-ones? I'll wait. Quote Link to comment

Pelini and his staff whiffed on their o-line recruiting in 2012 and 2013. Those guys didn't develop anywhere near to be good enough. The 2015 class for Riley (and Pelini) is concerning because of Decker and Barnett not being able to contribute this year. The 2016 class for Riley could be playing as true freshmen, and there is a valid argument for this (I have made it!!!), but the lack of a scholarship center that is a senior or junior this year is on Pelini and his staff. 3 Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 So after the stellar recruiting and player development by the previous staff we should believe that Utter is the best option and it's the current staffs fault? Got it. Goal posts aren't even in the stadium anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment

Savage Husker Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Man, Paul Thurston really wasn't good enough to win out the C spot? Makes me wish he was still on the team. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I've been saying this since this guy touched the field. He is the reason we can't run up the middle. Quote Link to comment
