    Matt Rhule's Hierarchy of Position Groups for NIL spending

    I don't like that. I'm also typing this from my office that is not in North Stadium.

    Lol at Tony White…

    Do I think the B1G is a bad offensive conference? Yeah. Do I think it’s getting better with Indiana stepping up and USC/Oregon coming in? Yeah. Do I think we’ve hired some atrocious coordinators since being a part of this conference in Lincoln? Absolutely. But pretending we didn't have a Top 25...

    When I put it together I was thinking the same thing, what a sad list. I did like what Tim Beck did in real time but admittedly I always thought we could be better. Shows what I know.

    I am very interested about this Michigan State game. I was going to go across the river and place so much money on the overs at 48.5, but with 20-30 mph winds I've held off. I think we should be able to score on them, if we can hold them under 20 I will feel pretty good about things. I do expect...

    Not necessarily about you, we just have a guy that statistically is our best coordinator since joining the conference, and it's really not even close, but people are telling me it's not a big loss and it was all about the conference we play in. If it's really about the conference, I'm sure...

    Ya I think Butler would certainly do better with more returning players up front, or anywhere on his defense, as any coach does. Which circles it back to the continuity thing I've been clamoring about. I don't think Butler is as good of a DC as Tony White, but again I'll happily be wrong since...

    I think that's my point. He's not going to play nearly as tough opposing offenses and will still end up outside the top 25 IMO. Again, I will happily be wrong here I just don't see it.

    Baited that hook pretty juicy for the comeback to be "ya we just haven't had good DCs." What about comparing him nationally? If 11th and 20th in the country isn't that great because we play in the B1G and it's going to take top 10 to be considered a good DC that's a pretty tall ask. I guess...

    Ya, the announcer just screaming at the screen "you have to take him out" in the Colorado game about our starting QB was pretty telling.

    For sure, definitely different players. Though as I've referenced in this thread, you wouldn't have to be replacing your entire front 7 this year if White/Knighton had stayed.

    Like I said... if Butler's defense ends up top 25 in scoring defense this year I will gladly come eat crow. I just think the stats very much backup that TWhite was the best DC we have had here since joining the B1G, and I think we will at minimum fall out of the top 25 and more than likely be...

    So an honest question... if our scoring defense ends up in the 40s or 50s this year, then will you consider it a big loss? I've heard for years that the B1G offenses suck, here are our scoring defense ranks: 2024 - 20th White 2023 - 11th White 2022 - 75th Chinander/Busch 2021- 37th Chinander...

    Why do Nebraska fans always do this when people leave our program, the coach or player wasn't that good because ______? Our scoring defense was 20th in the country and 11th the year prior, but now that our DC left us it really wasn't that great of an accomplishment because the offenses were...

    Ya... you basically have to recruit them like we did Robinson, Nash, and now Van Poppel. The problem is Van Poppel is being asked to be something not even Nash was in his second year. When Nash was the same age as Van Poppel, he had Damion Daniels, Ben Stille, Deontre Thomas, AND Ty Robinson to...

    IMO I think we need bigger DL, not necessarily more of them. We are way too small up front in 2025.
