SE 0F RD Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 We are Nebraska, we can out Wisconsin Wisconsin and out Iowa Iowa if we just dedicated ourselves to hard nosed, pound you in the face football. I’m not asking for bringing back the option offense, but until we put our OL and DL on highest priority we aren’t going to win the B1G or even the west. I just want a HC that understands that. I thought Frost would get that, unfortunately it seems that was an incorrect assumption. 5 1 Link to comment
SE 0F RD Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 I want a DL that is out for blood, and a OL that is so confident they feel like they can tell the opponents DL what we are running, knowing we will push them around. Everything else is secondary. 3 Link to comment

Would sure be interesting and he’d be a strong pull in recruiting for which all I hear is how we are disadvantaged geographically. So Primetime can remove that excuse. I also think he wouldn’t put up with the lackluster defensive play. Link to comment

Year 5 and I still fail to see his merger of the "Husker Power" in any facet of this team or the players as a whole. 1 Link to comment

As for Riley: 2015: #30 2016: #26 2017: #23 He wasn't exactly setting the world on fire in recruiting. Here is a good article ref blue chip players. If we do not get them, in the modern era, we will not win....Frost and Co have done well in recruiting, but saw an article that shows how bad the classes actually were after adjustments for attrition and contribution.

We’re not going to win a championship either. At least not for a long time. Wisconsin and Iowa have consistently tough and disciplined teams that nobody looks forward to playing. If tOSU has an off year, there’s no reason they couldn’t steal a B1G title. At this point, I’d almost give my left one to get back to that level. Link to comment
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Point is, those teams may be competitive, but they're the exception. For the most part, recruiting matters. Also, with the right coach, I don't think we're that far away from a championship. Question is whether or not we're willing to pay for the right coach. 1 1 1 Link to comment
