I know that Corey Raymond caught a lot of flak for his comments, but after last nights woodshed they ring true. Maybe he did know something none of us really wanted to admit. The highlighted part, at least to me, speaks of the staff as much as it does the kid. We were running smash mouth power and UCLA was wilting, then Beck went all pocket passer (like Wisky) and I do not think we ran again. Need to find and/or get the speed and athletes on the field. Kind of like "Remember the Titans" when they send in Peety and Sunshine Ronny Bass in on D. The other team was too fast so wiley Coach Boone sends in his athletes. Result (great movie) and a win.
“Just be honest,” Raymond said. “Look at them, look at us. It’s pretty obvious.” What did Raymond mean? He didn’t spell it out, but he made veiled criticisms of Nebraska’s personnel. For instance, what did he take from this game going into the offseason?
“Hopefully it helps recruiting. Get athletes.”
Was he encouraged by how NU matched up man-for-man? “Not necessarily.”
Raymond went on to compare the mentality of Southern players versus Nebraska’s players. His guys needed to learn how to punch back once they got “hit in the mouth.”
“You can’t live on what other guys have done in the past around here,” Raymond said. “You have to live on yourself…We’re not Prince. We’re not Eric Hagg. We’re not those guys. We have to do much different things. We have to work harder. We’re not the same athletes as those guys.”
