Can we talk about Nebraska?...

Had a co-worker who's a Wisky fan tell me last week after ISU's game that nobody in the Big 12 plays defense. I didn't say anything, and couldn't argue that ISU played bad defense last week. And I can't argue that Wisconsin really does have a nice defense, although I'd like to see what their secondary does vs. a Rudolph/Mayfield type but either way they're stout.

But I'll have to remember to ask about these 56-44 type of games in the B1G.
 
There's some interesting conversations going on in this



I can’t help but think Riley is excited to get fired. You get to escape Nebraska forever and get paid millions doing it. Sounds like a win win to me!

My Husker friends live in a complete land of delusion and won’t accept that Nebby will never be a powerhouse again now that they can’t use partial qualifiers, triple option is dead, and no natural recruiting grounds. The last 15 years is just some random anomaly I guess. They always reply that their number of NCs will always make them a premier program, to which I respond “then so are the Gophers”.
 
When it comes to Iowa this year there are no guarantees what team will show up. NU hung with PU pretty well today and beat Purdue. Anything can happen on senior day.

The final score was not any indication of how that game went. It was 56-24 before PSU called off the dogs and Nebby scores 3TDs in garbage time in the 4th quarter against PSU reserves.

Funny how both nebraska and Missouri had really good initial years when they got to their new conferences. Once their Big 12 recruits dried up they have tanked, and tanked miserably. It's been wonderful to watch.
This has been huge at Nebby (and forced them to look elsewhere for recruits...with definitely mixed results). And, while Frost has succeeded down at CF with his style of offense, not sure how well it will run in the BIG against defenses much better than he operates against now. The defense is definitely a big question...just seems like Nebby fans are deluding themselves...

And they've been doing it since 2003 when they fired Solich. The past 4 coaches have all had the distinction of being known as "the worst coach in program history." It doesn't matter whomever ends up with that job, that coach will be number 5 on that list.
