1. They have their scheme already implemented. 2. The teams are returning most of the starters. We are building from the ground up. 1. We won't fully grasp our scheme the first year. 2. We gotta change the mindset. We have to deal with correcting the last coaching staff's mistakes. Even Frost said we're still missing pieces.
So you think the kids will fully grasp the system and we have all the players we need to make the system successful? Even Frost said we're missing some pieces.
I would attribute roster talent decreasing in part to poor recruiting by Bo in his last year. Recruiting under Riley 2015-30 2016-26 2017-23. 2014 class was 35th.
I'm being a realist, something that seems to be tough for the majority of Nebraska fans. I've said 1. Frost will be a great and 2. We will be competing for BIG championships in 3 to 4 years. But it takes longer than half a year to turn around the program. I would think 6-6 would be a decent year considering all the factors involved.
"Pieces" could mean anything, and wile we may not be exactly where Frost wants roster wise, we are in better shape than UCF was to start. I think the players will grasp the system enough and I do think we have enough pieces to make the system succesful. It won't be as good as year 2, year 3 ect. But it will be enough other teams will take notice
Only 5 of the teams we played made bowl games. I can see 7 or 8 teams making bowls with this year's schedule.
6-6 would be a dramatic improvement for teams to take notice. 8 wins is unrealistic though.
How so? I could take a look at UCF recruiting rankings and they will be wayyyyy below us all 4 years leading up to Frost. They also went from a pro scheme to Frosts spread option. What put UCF in a better position to succeed under Frost than us? I'm not seeing it. We are leagues ahead of where UCF was when it comes to talent, facilities, support. So please tell me how UCF was better off 2 years ago than we are now?
