alwayshusking Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Also brought to you by the people that tried to tell you Nebraska didn't have as much talent as a 2-10 Purdue team in 2015, so it was excusable to give up 55 points to them. 5 Quote Link to comment

HuskerJax Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If nothing else this does show at least there is talent coming in. I’m still of them mind that Riley should be done IF we have someone lined up to replace him. I fear that if we fire him and have no one lined up, it’s going to be a potentially rough search. At least if he is retained for another year, we have a good class coming in and can spend some real time looking for his replacement 1 Quote Link to comment

Hooke was a high level recruiter at Michigan but his coaching sucked. USC always recruited elite talent before Pete Carroll was hired. 1996 John Robinson 6–6 3–5 T-5th 1997 John Robinson 6–5 4–4 T-5th 1998 Paul Hackett 8–5 5–3 T-3rd L Sun 1999 Paul Hackett 6–6 3–5 T-6th 2000 Paul Hackett 5–7 2–6 T-8th 2001 Pete Carroll 6–6 Pete won the Orange Bowl in his second season. Why? Coaching. This graph popped up on Twitter today with a clear agenda. The person two tweeted this out is a clear Riley supporter based on his Twitter history. If Riley continues to lose, and he will, he will be fired. This is Riley's 3rd year. That means players he has recruited should already be getting developed and becoming starters. When the OP is listing players that have not signed, there is an agenda. Quote Link to comment

According to 24/7, here's what Wisconsin started on the O-line: Biadasz 3* .8405 Dietzen 3* .8898 Edwards 3* .8600 Deiter 3* .8328 Benzschawel 3* .8144 Nebraska started: Jaimes 3* .8797 Decker 3* .8543 Farmer 4* .9021 Gates 4* .8929 Foster 3* .8874 That stat right there is about all you need to show this staff can’t develop. Raw talent and no development doesn’t lead to winning the west, or the MAC in our case. 3 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 I asked the creator of this list some questions on the twitter. He stands behind his product. His arguments were uncompelling, even with his buddy's help. So I threw Mav's average star ratings at him and he didn't flinch. He's off, but he didn't flinch. And the last tweet is basically the reason this list is put together. But it still doesn't make much sense - until you see like everyone else has, that the OP is a Riley guy. 7 Quote Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 That's info I can use when I talk about this team not having talent. Sadly, that stat doesn't surprise me one bit. Quote Link to comment

I don't believe NU has a whole lot of those dudes. College football is full of emotion. Completely opposite of the NFL business model. Guys need to be excited to play football. This staff doesn't excite. It's been hammered out like crazy on this board but, I don't see a sincere love/pride for Nebraska football from football players. That's something that's going to have to be built again but with the right coach. Mike Riley isn't that coach....Scott Frost is. 4 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 4 hours ago, Branno said: I've been noticing the straight-ahead runs more and more. We'll run to the outside and get a ton of yards, but then the next 3-4 run plays are all straight up the middle into a stacked box. It's like Langs is running the ball because he's being told to, and wants to get fewer yards so he can call more passing plays. I don't believe that's what he's doing, but there has to be a reason for it. That’s exactly what it seems like to me as well. Zig was making some pretty big chunks very early in the Wiscy game heading right for the corners. Apparently that was working too well because Lang’s then started having him run right up our center and guards a$$. I guess that’s how you get to your preferred 2nd or 3rd and long situation so you can have Tanner air it out......and the defense knows exactly what we’re going to do. I know it can’t be but it really seems like the coaches try to make the running game fail. Quote Link to comment
