We know the talent potential is there but the NU players are still playing at high school talent level. We once hired a coach from Wyoming who was meticulous in preparing players in all aspects of the game and taking high school players to a higher level. We saw another Wyoming coach do the same Saturday night. It's gonna be a long season and we will see plenty of spread offenses that will also put up 600 yards without some better preparation and better coaching!! Our "O" line is "Cotton Candy" and Our defensive line can't penetrate a wet paper bag!!!!!I C REDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07262428498253803385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-34772899888541933552013-09-02T01:41:54.093-05:002013-09-02T01:41:54.093-05:00This is point blank a coaching issue, not a studen...This is point blank a coaching issue, not a student-athlete issue; coaching, schemes, and philosophy are to blame for this. Take all the talk about giving more time just like Osborne got, the 9 win seasons, etc. and throw them out the window. Those stats do not hold water when really broken down. Same old, same old, and it doesnt matter if he has veterans or freshman playing. This was Wyoming and our D-line and our O-line looked like they were playing against a top 10 team. Sit down and compare Pelini's defenses and points allowed to Callahan teams, you would be surprised. If we are happy with being a second tier NCAA team and a top 25 to 40 team at best, then we are fine. If we want to really be who think we are, this can no longer be. What is the definition of insanity...look to Bo and his coaching staff. When does basketball start, at least they are on the upswing and can live up to the hype. Whats the over/under on UCLA getting 750 yards?WheresNU?https://www.blogger.com/profile/12845916272387217015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-5717376776580256432013-09-01T22:49:18.609-05:002013-09-01T22:49:18.609-05:00There were a few notable upsets this weekend and f...There were a few notable upsets this weekend and for a while it looked like we were going to be one! :(<br /><br />Oh well ... so it goes ...Omababehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923843074599022110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-7235761692215649002013-09-01T20:17:20.317-05:002013-09-01T20:17:20.317-05:00Bo did see this coming...three years ago.

Bo has had 6 years of recruiting and the cupboard is bare of upperclassmen on defense! That in itself is inexcusableHuskerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798326790544391586noreply@blogger.com
