Number 1; those were Solich's players on that field and regardless whether he was present or not they won that game for him and the rest of the Hall of Fame coaches that had their last game that night. That staff was cohesive, this one has yet to prove that exists with poor second half performances throughout the year, and once again, not my words those of the players.
Number 2; The reason Nebraska won the North is because the competition in that division is so poor it's laughable. Look conversely at the South and where we would have fallen if we had to play that schedule every year, good luck.
Number 3; A good salesman can bring them in the door, but keeping them happy once they are there is a different story. Let me ask you, if you were a QB and you had 5 other QB's that you would be competing against and you wanted to play in two years, would you stay at Nebraska given their infancy in the West Coast Offense?
Number 4; The Big Twelve Championship was proof that Zach Taylor did not deserve the Big 12 Player of the Year Award. At some point you have to be able to survive on your own two feet and make things happen, he did not when it counted and was most important.
Number 5; As far as the returning talent you say is coming back, well I hope that defense comes back with a vengence because the offense will be with a first year starter at qb and no big game experience whatsoever. Heralded or not, talent at that position (QB) better be blue chip or else it's not going to be pretty.
I would enjoy writing a positive to glow about regarding Nebraska football, Lord knows I do enough bragging about them in New England and take plenty of crap for it, but the fact remains that it is another three years away before we see any sign that this team and Callahan's recruits will make a difference.
My apologies with regard to Booty's first name, but I figured seeing the last name would be enough to clue those in on who I was talking about.
