rogue3542 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Not sure how much there is to glean about Illinois in this game. Wyoming does not look good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 No clue what Frost was thinking with onside kick. Talk about giving your opponents a chance to get rejuvenated on the sidelines. Nobody but himself to blame....like STL said. 5-21 in single score games that's on the staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyoming does not look good No nothing really….just that Illinois is very bearable though. You know with that coach their OL is bound to continue to improve but I’m not overly impressed.

dgambill Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Illinois not looking sharpe…wonder if the tune up will do them well for next week. Work out the kinks. Pretty vanilla stuff so I doubt we are learning much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Best comment I heard all week About Nebraska 😅 "On the bright side, Nebraska is the second best team in the country (that they’re currently in)" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Just saw this one. Frost is 15-30 at Nebraska. If he won his next 50 games in a row he'd still have a worse record than Bo Pelini. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Nebraska football is just in an awful spot... where do they go to get recruits? They haven't had a top 15 class in a long time. Multiple years their classes ranked 25th+. Now... people compare our basketball program to their football, and its understandable, but we have 10× the recruiting base (Indiana HS basketball) compared to Nebraska. We can fill half our team with Indiana dudes and compete, they can't. NE HS football isn't even as good as Indiana. They have to go to Tex, CA, the south and convince kids. Just saying-- these two situations are NOT like each other. I was in a fraternity in college--- the first thing you're taught is recruiting is the lifeblood by which these organizations exist... sports programs are similar. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson, Alford, and Cheaney? You know? I mean.. even Guyton, May, and IT were from neighboring states. Doubt NE gets many football recruits from Wyoming and South Dakota.

For the very reasons you listed, Nebraska football will never be what it once was. What they need to do is find a way to compete with Iowa and Wisconsin. They will never again be on level with OSU, Michigan, PSU, and USC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your point and I don't think the word gimmick is fair....but Nebraska needs something like a Mike Leach. Someone that has a proven system that will change the whole dynamic and make heading to Lincoln attractive again. Change their entire identity, brand,etc....and Leach might think competing in the West is better than SEC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to run two tight end sets and dominate the offensive and defensive lines. Unfortunately running the option offense just isn't feasible in power 5. They need a unique system they can recruit for, and build a consistent culture. Just not sure what the answer is for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I posted on Peegs was when IU was blown out by Purdue and I said something about Mike Leach and some mod called Superhoosier gave me a timeout.
