1HuskerDad Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Our last football coaching staff whiffed on one Heisman Trophy Winner in Burrow and possibly one other one in Duggan. Crazy how our trajectory COULD have been different with two Heisman winners OR crazy to think how Joe’s and Max’s trajectory COULD have been different. 4 Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I'll add that both the guys you mentioned, went to great teams. NU had/has neither the talent nor coaching staff that, IMHO, would have made either Burrow or Duggan look good. Frost wasn't the only NU coach to pass on Burrow. On another note, watching Utah completely dismantle USC gives me hope that the right coach and staff can get us back to winning. Dies there DC have ties to Rhule 2 Quote Link to comment

Rest assured neither come anywhere close to winning the Heisman here. We need LINES folks, not QBs or WRs. Nothing matters until we improve up front. 2 2 5 Quote Link to comment

Until we get respectable OL/DL, we will continue to struggle. I think NU has done a good job through multiple coaches of getting skill guys. We have just slacked off on the lineman. Still anxious to see our OL coach..... 2 Quote Link to comment

That is the most important position in sports. We need more than one quality QB on the roster at all times. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I’ve thought about it. Neither Burrow nor Duggan sniff the Heisman at Nebraska. If they played here, likely the only people who know who they are is Nebraska fans. 1 Quote Link to comment

Probably one of the grittiest performances by an I-back husker lore. Everyone knew he was going to get the ball and the option was pretty much off the table. Right up the gut and he wouldn't be denied. But the oline deserved a lot of the credit that day too. Osborne won a lot of games in the 70s with average QBs until Turner Gill showed up. He took things to a different level and then the same thing happened when Tommie took over. But still the oline was always stout. 1 Quote Link to comment
