Now it makes me wonder...if NU had two high draft picks at DT last season what will that mean for how the defense looks this year?
That depends. Is Banker still our DC?
Oh well. At least we still have ice cream.
LOL you're the most negative poster. All you do is bash the current staff, and go on trenchant rants about how great Bo was and how his roster was full of NFL talent.
There is a reason Coach Riley fired Hughes, and Valentine even stated he might have had pondered staying his senior year had Hughes been fired earlier. I got a newsflash for you since you did not get the memo, P E quadruple L N I is gone and is not coming back. The guy fell on some fortuitous coaching opportunities, and his entitled demeanor prevented him from reaching any meaningful level of success.
That being said, I am very happy for all the Huskers who were drafted. If it were not for a coaching change, Andy Janovich would have never sniffed the NFL. Until you have something meanigful to contribute to this board maybe you should go take your negative attitude and consider rooting for Youngstown.
LOL you might be the most misinformed/delusional poster. I seriously doubt I'm the most negative poster, but I'll own it if you want me to. Is 1989 your birthyear? You seem naive in your thinking/statements. I'm pretty sure I've never gone on a trenchant rant about how great Bo was, but if you say I did, could you please provide a link?. He definitely disappointed. I just don't think he was as horrible of a coach as others made him out to be. But he did have a scary face, so I'll give you that. I'm also pretty sure I never went on a trenchant rant about how his roster was "full of NFL talent", but if you say I did, then you should be able to provide a link?. I just objected to the numerous claims of others that the "cupboard was bare". His recruiting was lacking, but there was enough talent to win the games that were lost, so blaming the losses on the talent level of the players is asinine. I did get the memo that PE quadruple L N I is gone, and I've also seen the ever-changing memos as to the reasons why he is gone. I know he's not coming back, and I don't want him back, that would be silly, childish and wrong for many reasons, just like describing him as PE quadruple L N I.
Your statement about Andy is just speculation. How cute that somebody with 52 posts in 2 years criticizes the meaningfulness of my contributions and suggests who I should root for, and in conjunction with your obvious lack of perspective and perception as well. It's adorab
1989 is the year I graduated, but it's okay to make preemptive assumptions of my age as if that would omit me from having any foot to stand on during a contentious dialogue.
How do you figure Jano would have been drafted by not playing? It was Riley's incipient assessment of Jano last spring that gave him the idea that Jano had NFL talent, thus resulting in the decision to allow Jano to play meaningful snaps.
The cupboard was not bare, however to assume that the talent level of the entire team was ubiquitous to the likes of Collins and Big Vince is simply conflating and misleading. For one, the LB depth was egregiously mismanaged by the prior staff. I am just trying to figure out how D line with two 3 rounders, and a 2nd rounder were unable to prevent Melvin Gordon from running for 400 yards in a single game??? Hmmm I guess that is what NFL talent will bring to the table... Or i'll go another route and say that Pelini was awful at adjusting and putting his team in positions to play quality football against quality opponents.
But hey, Riley sucks, his staff sucks, and Nebraska football sucks...
