Pretty good read!

Now – let's consider Bo for a second. Right now. Days after one of the poorest showings of his tenure at NU.
You know where he is? Solich after the 2000 season. Maybe Solich after the 2001 season. No kidding. The record looks good. Everybody's still on board. There's some negativity, but it'll burn off, replaced with optimism for 2011 and the start of a Big Ten era.
But the writing's on the wall for Nebraska's offense. The chinks are there. Bo can rework this thing with Watson or he can promote from within, but the football gods won't be giving him the “loyal coach” discount. Nor will he get a “jack of all trades” discount for trying to call the defense and manage the offense at the same time. The 2011 schedule is brutal by Big Ten design. I expect no competitive breaks from Jim Delany's bunch. Not from the referees, opposing coaches, or the league office.
