Four-Star Recruit
The O linemen that are referred to as the pipeline, was due in part to practice, whatever the 1's were practicing, the 2's and 3's were practicing the same exact play. Repetition of the same plays by the top three units every day. Osborne's playbook didn't have that many formations, just several variations off each formation. The O linemen as described above, were ready by their junior yr, unless they were a real talent. As far as recruiting, Dr Tom didn't recruit 5 star o linemen, his regimen in practice would prepare the linemen to step in when their time came, and they would be like machines, no errors, they knew their jobs, and the performed them without thought.
Imagine the top three units all practicing the same plays at the same time every day. I believe this more than anything else is why the Huskers always had a great o line. GBR
