*** Husker FB Misc Topic bullsh#t Thread ***

Loved the Martin-ez era. 
 

that kid played some damn good football at QB for us.  Helu is my 3rd fav IB ever behind Green and Phillips. 
 

Rozier and Jackson to follow. 
 

Brown, Endzone Jones, and Burkhead thereafter. Dubose wasn’t bad either.  
s#!t, I guess I like them all lolol. 

 
Blue is good, Red is bad. These numbers have us as a middle of the pack offense and very good defense which tracks. It does not like Indiana's defense as much as some metrics I've seen.

It shows Indiana’s weakness on defense being true dropbacks. Dylan needs to respond after last week and I like this matchup for him.

On the other hand, NU’s problem on offense according to the charts is play action, RPOs, and screens

Good 3 part article makes the argument that the 1999 team was the last elite Husker team.  I agree.  I think it was the best Nebraska team to not win the national championship - better than both 1982 & 1983.  One fumble against the texas prevented the NC.

I read those sentiments and pretty much agree.  We were spoiled beyond common sense back then.  Common sense, or at least a better football world view, would not have allowed the removal of that staff.  Perhaps some internal discussion, but not their ejection.  That 7-7 (2002) season was corrected the very next year. 

But, you know the "Frank Solich Curse," or much other discussion with his name, probably has nothing new to offer;  it got wrung out pretty thoroughly here there and everywhere over the ensuing years.

I was thinking that the fumble against Texas on the 1 yard line cost us more than 1 lost game:  

1. Cost us the NC championship as it was highly likely we would have beaten either VT or FSU that year.

2. Frank, without that NC,  did not gain the grace that a NC would have given him.  Getting beaten badly in the NC in 2001 gained him no grace.

3. If Frank had won the NC in 1999, I don't think Peterson would have had the balls to fire him after a 10-3 2003 season. 

4.  Frank with new staff improves the team overall and we probably settle into a 9-11 win type of team. 

5.  The malaise of the past 12 years or so is avoided.
