Moiraine Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Just now, BigRedBuster said: I would say it’s bad coaching too.....the previous 10+ years. Yep. The players last year had multiple years of previous bad coaching, so it can't all be put on the new staff. Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately, we will probably to lose to one or more of Northwestern, Indiana, and Purdue because that's the way these things usually happen. I think this wins the wackiest offseason prediction. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

If the wins come this fall like we expect, then I think things will start rolling in that regard to push NU to high single digits/low teens in the years ahead (2021 and beyond). I don't ever expect top 5 classes, as he will take guys who are perfect system fits but lower rated for whatever reason. 2020 I think 15-20 ish range again like 2019. The good news is that the B1G West is VERY winnable and if Frost runs a winning program that's fun to watch and fun to play in, he should be able to get elite talent. I think NU can recruit top-5 classes IF Frost proves to be elite. 2 Quote Link to comment

We've never routinely averaged top 5 classes even when we were elite and one of the only teams on television and lots of people didn't live in the south yet. I don't imagine there's any possible way for that to be normal. Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 4 hours ago, BlitzFirst said: Wrong. We didn't have a good defense. If the players don't know where to be or what coverage to be in or what gap to fill or have linebackers that hesitate just a split second...that's the difference between average to below average defenses and good to great defenses. You can't grade our defensive coaches based on a single year at Nebraska. That's just lame. This is a very difficult transition, too, with these players having gone through so many coaches and now being asked to implement a much more aggressive philosophy. Last year is a complete mulligan because you can only judge based on what we were capable of doing and that wasn’t much. This year is a different story and those players know that. I’m hesitant on this defense, but I’m also very excited. Quote Link to comment

As suggested, I don't know exactly how it will turn out, but given that virtually every contending team will land a big win against a higher ranked opponent, and falter in a letdown or trap game situation, I'm good with the prediction. It's based on the history of college football. 1 Quote Link to comment
Notre Dame Joe Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 On Michigan their fans are talking about the new offense so I believe they have changed for good. Also that qb they had is no longer a new transfer and may show great improvement. Quote Link to comment

HuskerNation1 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 6 minutes ago, Guy Chamberlin said: Bump. Man, were we wide-eyed and innocent back in July. Well I think we all bought into the hype and assumed Frost could quickly turn around Nebraska as he did UCF. In hindsight UCF was in much better shape as they had three winning seasons out of the four before Frost got there in 2016...including a 2013 Fiesta Bowl win. The class signed after that Fiesta Bowl win would have been the upperclassmen Frost inherited when he arrived at UCF. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 We’re there any more threads from the lunatic asylum involving unicorns or space aliens helping us win the NC? Quote Link to comment
UniversalMartin Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The first couple pages is like the opening scene to a college spring break trip movie where guys are getting ready for a weekend of just flat out debauchery and shenanigans only to find themselves at Jonestown 1 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I, for one, am perfectly fine buying into hype. That's part of being a fan. 6 1 Quote Link to comment
