DrinkinwitTerrellFarley Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Now that the hiring is complete, not saying it is fair, but I think now if he gets to six and beats either Iowa or Wisconsin, he will be safe for another year. Mediocrity? Yes, especially with an easier schedule, but 'Husker fans have a soft spot for the Wood River man. 1 Quote Link to comment

I do think that IF Raiola is good, he can make improvements before next season. A lot of issues can be technique related such as hand placement, first step stuff. They have all winter-spring-summer to get some of this corrected. Listening to Matt Vrzal all season, he seemed to think that it wasn't a difficult fix, just philosophical. Now, if we still aren't strong enough, that is a different story, but don't think that is the case. I never remember thinking last year that our O line wasn't strong enough. 1 Quote Link to comment

Never a strength thing I agree. More of a technique and maybe athleticism/flexibility were what I noticed. The appearance of the latter can be attributed to the former in a lot of cases also.

I'd like to say that isn't the case, and then point out how we were going toe-to-toe on the O-Line with both tOSU and Michigan. But that's not really an accurate thing to do/say, now is it?

Jergens was seasoned, but after that the quality of seasoned players left was lacking imo. Much of our promising lineman were/are younger players 2 Quote Link to comment
