McKewon: NU offense not built for B1G Novembers; Bo’s defense stops pass, but not Badgers

Nebraska under Bo is not a bad program by any stretch. But it's not the great one we all hope to see. And it doesn't appear to be headed there.
I agree with this. The question is are Nebraska fans and boosters okay with being a decent program or do we want to TRY (no guarantees) to become a great one at the risk of being a poor team before we find the right guy?

For the record....

I'm not trying or attempting to tear down or be overly critical of Tommy. First, he's just a sophomore, and I do think he does throw a beautiful deep ball (when he's actually throwing it to our players, LOL).

Tommy has swag, don't get me wrong. I believe that if properly molded, he'll be one hell of a QB.

But - the molding isn't happening under this staff. Hell, look at who Tommy was mentored by:

Farve? As in throw across his body and get picked off to keep his team out of the Super Bowl Farve? No wonder Tommy is doing what he's doing, LOL But I digress....again....

For example - look at the Buckeyes. Their freaking HEISMAN TROPHY CANDIDATE QB is done for the season. True freshman, third stringer J.T. Barrett comes in. Has a few questionable games, loses to Va Tech (on his O line, they were turrible - yes, Barkley turrible, lol). All this on a still healing wheel (which he tore up in High school).

Urban doesn't panic. He makes a few adjustments, tweaks some things.

Now Barrett is in the Heisman hunt and tOSU is playing lights out ball. That's coaching (and desire on the part of the player).
+1

I think TA would make a very serviceable QB and leader with the right coaching and offensive system.
