I am not for firing coaches all the time. I am not for bashing coaches. I realize that we are in a rebuilding process.
What i dont realize or understand is our offensive IDENTITY. This is what worries me the most about our rebuilding process. Anyone that watched the game Sat. realized that we need more athletes on both sides of the ball. I have no doubt that Pelini will get those athletes here for the Defense. The offense, now that is another matter. I have a hard time understanding how we are going to get really good offensive players to come here when; 1) we have no identity, 2) we rotate RB(if i am a big time RB i would look elsewhere) 3. It is proven that under this system Frosh WR cant and wont play so why shouldnt a WR prospect look elsewhere.
This offensive scheme or lack of scheme scares me to death. Maybe I am wrong but I dont see recruits digging deep for information, i see them seeing the surface of the situation. For Example, a recruit reads that Lucky is the top back in the Big 12. Lucky is one of the top 5 backs in the country ( i realize this may not be true) but the recruits read this and then watch as we split carries 3 ways. As a RB recruit this would scare me off of NU. No back wants to go somewhere where they have to split carries. This is just one example and Lord knows i could be way off base but this is some of the stuff that scares me.
