Northwestern Game: What Did We Learn?

Some of the posts are correctly focused on recruiting. We really need to win recruiting battles. If Riley can't recruit he is in trouble after year 3 IMO. I think Westy, DPE, VV, and Collins are about the only safe starting jobs next year. Get stud recruits in here that can play now! Next year would still be bumpy but year 3 is the key for me...makes or breaks Riley.

The problem with counting on recruiting is that we never get the top tier recruits, and now if we are going to try and play a similar offense as a lot of other big name schools we will be in direct competition for the same types of players as those schools. That's a battle that will be tougher to win than trying to be a passing team with a running QB and run blocking WR's!

At some point, if you never do what you "should" do, perhaps it's incorrect to be saying you "should" do it.

Yeah, good point. When the casual observer can see it's there for the taking and the coaching staff never makes any changes, you have to wonder. But this is our staff and team for at least the next season and a half ,so let's hope for the best.

 
I suppose we really didn't learn anything new about football or the Nebraska football team or the weather or much of anything else. Yesterday was a very uneventful and uneducational day really.

 
I learned that I am very happy that we have MR, instead of the dumpster fire of a HC NW has, regardless if they win or not NW has a horrible HC. Just a clown.

Also that the refs hate NW more then they hate us.

The 95 Championship team provided no motivation/inspiration to the team whatsoever. Really surprised me.

For all the talk early on about TA's "improvement", I think we can see that there hasn't been any.

His completion percentage is the same as it was last year. His yards per attempt is actually down half a yard from last year. His QB rating is down from last year. His yardage is up because we're throwing it 9 more times per game (for some reason).

And we still have our two toughest games yet to be played.

Nebraska is giving up 5.96 yards per play in eight games this season. The 2007 defense that cost half of North Stadium their jobs gave up 6.08 yards per play. No other defense in the post-Tom Osborne era is close to this leaky.

OWH

So right now we're just over 4 INCHES per play better than the 2007 defense.
