Put Bo's coaching aside and the guy is a class act as relates to recruits and community service. I do not think we can question anything about his character and teaching the guys to be responsible for their actions.

The ranking was great, except it didn't take into account the loss of a DT by the CCG. Meredith was the best available option. Combine that with our slow LBs and it's a recipe for disaster around the LOS.

I, for one, would like to know what is really being said...

we need to stop talking about it because other teams might try to copy. It really might be the scheme of the future.

I honestly didn't think I was alone in my concern over Bo Pelini's recruiting history.
Well, you live, you learn.

Yes, and if he doesnt, he gets roasted for not "coaching till the last whistle, no wonder we suck, bla bla bla". Chalk another one up in the "Bo cant win" column.

Wow, we see some marked improvement and life by our "D" and some of you guys go back to the "Bo is an embarrassment" clause.
What I seen Saturday was a HC who had worked with his players and his staff for 2 weeks trying to get some life pumped back into them and was not going to accept the "everyone gets a trophy who competes" mentality.
I am not saying Bo is in the clear and will get the coach of the year award for Saturday’s team performance but he did help create a sense of urgency! Did we beat one of the better B1G teams Saturday, probably not ~ but we took a step in the right direction and I look forward to seeing him continue to get this team more efficient and play with more fire.
We have the hardest part of our schedule coming up in a few weeks and he will need his team to play much harder and more aggressive than what they did Saturday to compete in those games. Anyone else watch the NW and OST game and see how aggressive both of those teams played?
As for Pap and Bo's sideline antics, so be it! Sorry Pap but you don't get a trophy for just showing up ~~~"Welcome to the REAL WORLD"

I feel slightly more hopeful for the D's progress after this game. Seriously after UCLA I was ready to throw in the towel. Too many blowouts and excuses by Bo just left me to the point where I wanted him out period. If he can circumvent Papuchis and lead the defense to making substantial progress where we can get back to the big 10 championship game, then maybe he will survive this year and grow in his role as head coach. I hope he can as I don't want to start over.
It is interesting seeing him take over the reins on defense. Paps is practically clueless and a poor choice as DC. We will know a lot if the D make huge progress by the end of the year. It will tell us the steady decline on defense over the last couple of years is perhaps more due to coaching than talent. Again this is on Bo.
I wish the best of JP, I hear he is a great guy, fantastic dad and husband
AND we were probably hosed on how the refs were letting IL sub late and not give the D time to respond
He did make some good 3rd down calls and MADE a nice adjustment when the O was in 10 personell- in the 3rd quarter he moved a safety into the box to take away the zone read that was gashing us-
We also defended pretty well against 21 and 22 personell- something we probably will see a lot of in the B1G
BUT
Ive never seen that may 12 men on the field penaltys since watching Pop Warner 8 year olds
Ive havent seen 2 timeouts called on D to get players on the field since watching Pop Warner 8 year olds
I havent seen 6 defenders set and 5 guys running from the sidelines onto the field while a snap was going since watching Pop Warner 8 year olds
And that was week 1, 8 year olds, those 8s handle that much better than NU did once they are in about week 5-6

so in one sentence you admit the defense was getting hosed then go on a tirade about what they were getting hosed on. had the personnel issues solely been on the coaching then the tirade would be warranted but since they werent why even bother unless your sole motive is to bash the coaches. did they have these issues throughout the game or was it basically isolated to the last 5 minutes of the game when benches were being emptied? little common sense goes a long ways.
Alignment issues are basic football 101 In todays game of spread, multiple warp speed offenses- you have to be prepared AND be able to recognize and adapt to different player groupings
Sometimes they let it go ALA Baylor a few years ago, sometimes they dont- you have to be prepared for both
MANY teams win in blowouts every week all across the USA
NU has won in blowouts many weeks
In all of those games the "benches" were emptied
In all those games in all those years here and on TV how many times have you seen that many 12 men on the field penalties? How about having to take the timeouts or having 5 kids come onto the field late? Davison was laughing about it.
