Maybe.
I actually think that WR group from 1-8 is really really really strong. The problem is, we had a QB in Dylan who did not push the ball down the field. He took way too many sacks that killed drives. He checked down too much.
I actually think that WR corps was legit but I put a lot of...
The big question is did Rhule think this DL/LB corps could hold up vs B1G opponents? Or did he know it was FUBAR but was told no on the $$$ front by our money guys?
I'm cutting Rhule a little slack that he was smart enough to know this DL/LB corps was gonna get trucked this yr vs B1G teams. It...
By the end we were needing Hail Marys to beat 1-7 B1G teams (2013 NW).....we were needing late miracle KR TDs from Ameer to beat McNeese St...and on and on.
Bo would have gotten smoked by the Bielemas/Brohms/Flecks of the lower B1G. And those were the programs he feasted on in his NU B1G yrs...
Problem is, we won't have the advantages we had with Bo ever again. Nebraska had a huge resource $$ advantage over 60% of the B1G bc those programs just flat out didn't care about football. Bo didn't get to 9-3 by merit. He got there bc 1/2 the teams on his schedule every year just didn't give a...
I thought you were serious! So I answered seriously.
Other thing about Bo is he needed luck to get to his 9 wins. I'll give you an example: people love the Ron Kellogg Hail Mary win vs Northwestern in 2013.
Want to guess NW's B1G conference record in 2013? Yeah.....it was 1-7. One of Bo's most...
@huskerj12 I like your posts but this one is a bit naive. It shows a lack of understanding of where the B1G is top to bottom now vs where it was 2011-2014.
Two main things that helped Bo were: (1) they played 4 noncon games every yr (chance for an extra win). (2) the mid to bottom tier B1G...
I really think this season was fucked by the roster management. We saw the team was light in the DL and we paid too much $$ in WRs to keep Dylan happy.
Rhule knew he fucked up on the roster halfway through the Cincinnati game (TBT he already knew it). You just can't have a good season when in...
Wanted to post this last drive:
You see how important throwing the ball away can be to sustaining drives. Lateef threw the ball away twice on that FG drive. That kept the 3rd downs manageable bc we avoided the 3rd & 17s that Dylan put us in all the time.
That allowed us to get into easy FG...
Rhule has a pretty obvious tell when he's lying & that's that he gets very quiet and almost stutters a bit.
I'm fairness it's difficult for him bc he's normally 110% energy and charisma and looking you in the eye, etc. When something catches him by surprise that he has to lie about it's...
