youth movement everywhere but the coaching staff.

Haha. That's funny ... and I need something to cheer me up watching my Huskers trail Purdue

I posted this in another thread but maybe it's more fitting here. Some of our most impressive players today were TrFr....Williams, Morgan, Young, Ozigbo.

yes. yes they were

And this would be true on sheer effort alone.

Valid point.

Maybe we give Cavanaugh a bit of time to get some of his guys in here, or at the very least coach up some of the guys already on the roster before we go calling him an idiot. Sounds fair to me.

Sounds fair to me, too.
But I would like to know when is this "coaching guys up" supposed to start. If I had any say in the matter, it would have started sometime before the Northwestern game.

I'd guess this "coaching guys up" thing is an ongoing process and isn't quite like heating up your Stouffer's Mac 'n Cheese for dinner. I'd hazard another guess as well, that this "coaching guys up" thing takes differing amounts of time for each player because we don't all learn at the same pace.

"The old wait til' he get's his guys argument"......

Forgive me if I'm still chuckling about that......

Maybe these guys aren't good enough? What then? Should Cav own that? He didn't recruit the guys....

Weird how the youngest of the bunch is the best of the bunch too. Totally weird. Who took ownership of the offensive line before Cavanaugh came? Does he still have any ownership? Or did he get to bail out and kind of scapegoat it on to someone else?

You and some of your buddies here like to act like Cavanaugh was handed a Mercedes and is driving it like a Volkswagon. In reality, this Volkswagon has looked better than it has in a long time at certain points of this season.

Might get better if we give it a little more time.......

Or let's fire all these guys and start over! Yay!

I'm not asking for anyone to be fired. But regarding the bolded, no they haven't....
The line looked their best in the wins. Even looked solid against Minnesota. But you can go back to Miami of last year, Fresno State last year, and a handful of other wins (since we are only picking "certain points") to see that this line is the same as it was last year. I might even say less consistent this year, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because of a new system.

True2, I like Riley, I hope he figures whatever he needs to out and is successful. But at the same time, this year's line is what it is: not very good. Hopefully Cavanaugh can figure out why.

I agree they're not very good this year, I just said they have looked better at times this season than they ever did last season.
I tend to give Ameer Abdullah a lot of credit for much of the statistics and wins last season.

It's hard for me to say an offensive line made up of Jake Cotton, Mark Pelini, and Sterup was all that impressive.

I have been supportive of this staff since day one. However, I don't agree with no rotation on the OL. You have to get the underclassmen game experience in case they are needed due to injury. My biggest complaint (other than the db's) is that there is no mean streak in this team whatsoever. It looks like they are practicing through the games. Where's the fire??

I agreed with you there and here! Good points and observation.
