Not sure plummeting is accurate.  Especially since that was just one opinion.

 

 

Good to hear

didn’t realize it was opinions of posters. Thought maybe posters were referencing some pay service that everyone seems to be members of these days and there was a definite tone shift in mid October.

One more time for those who thought our D-linemen were terrible last season, lol. All three starters invited. Just hope we have good replacements ready for next year.

I'm still pretty damned disappointed that th Davis twins Husker campaign included 3 losing seasons.  I had such high hopes for them.

Does the combine have shotputting?

@DefenderAO Nah, they got rid of that. Now they just do a QB tossing competition.

Flies directly in the face of the lack of talent excuse.

Does it?  Maryland has 3 players invited.

Last I checked you usually play defense with 11 players.

Three players on defense or offense combined? Our four guys that got invited are defensive players, so I'd have to agree with The Dude's assertion.

 

However, I'd also argue that when you take in the season as a whole our offense was the bigger reason we wound up with a losing record and our defense did all that it reasonably could in most of our games. I'd say the main exceptions there were the Purdue & Indiana games, but that's a different story.

Allowing Wisconsin to go through the defense without much resistance for 3/4 of the game didn't help.

 

Minnesota was a failure on both sides of the ball.  I won't even bring up Ohio State, because that was a complete mismatch all around.

I'm not sure how many of our blackshirts were completing their junior year (meaning that they also could technically be eligible to get invited). But to have four seniors get invited to the combine speaks to there being talent on the team in my estimation.

They were the second best team on our schedule, and we also allowed a special teams TD in that one. I don't look back at that game with all that much frustration as far as saying "That shouldla been one that we for sure won."

 

The Purdue & Indiana games, though? Different story. Those two games showed us for the dumpster fire that we were - both from a coaching and execution standpoint.
