I know I am going to get flammed but...

The weird herald had a good article on Friday that blames Billy Cuntllahan for the lines woes. Most O-linemen were hurt, quit, or never showed up on campus. They (2007 class) would be 5th year seniors now. Marcel Jones is still around but has back problems. The 2008 class lost Dan Hoch to Mizzou and Riley Reiff to Iowa after the BC firing and Bo's hiring. In that same class, Trevor Robnson went to Notre Dame and has started 28 games, and Bryce Givens went to Colorado where legal issues ended his career. Four other linemen in that class were David Grant (no show), Ricky Henry, Brandon Thompson (non starter), and Baker Steinkuhler (now on Defense). I kept asking where's the pipeline? It looks like the Huskers have had a good run of bad luck on the O-line. Huskers need to focus on some Nebraska high school players to fill the line. [/QUOTE]


UHH....6 of the 10 players listed on the two deep for the O-Line are from Nebraska. Good idea. Lets get more than 60% of our o-line from a state that dosen't produce very much big time division 1 talent. Hell lets get some more walk on's from Elkhorn and Lincoln Christian....Im sure they are all amazing players...just got overlooked.

How does our offense not look fine besides out awful terrible offensive line? I hate it I really do because if they would get there head out of there asses this offense could be so much better. Taylor has improved. Yes he still makes TERRIBLE decisions. BUT he has better leadership skills on the field. I do see him staying in the pocket more...maybe thats just me though. Some of his passes are all terrible some people "BK" need to learn to hang on the ball. I honestly think the number 1 receiver spot at Nebraska is cursed. We have 3 great future running backs and rex. We have the damn talent just no line.

Saying the Offense looks fine except for the offensive line is like saying "that chick is wicked hot except for that she has no ass, no tits, and a dogface."

The point is when Nebraska recruit linemen from other parts of the country, and they don't show up, it's a waste of time and a scholarship. Nebraska kids dream of playing for the Huskers. I still get mad that we didn't get Dominic Raiola's brother....hell we didn't even recruit him...and no he wasn't from Nebraska. Raymond Raiola was an all-american at Wisconsin. BTW Ebbycalvin, have you watched high school football in this state? There are many legit linemen playing here.

Define many? There are not too many other states that produce less division 1 talent than nebraska. We just dont have a lot of population and most kids play multiple sports all year round...not just football. Our o-line 2 deep is already 60% nebraska kids, how many more should we get? 8 of the two deep on defense are nebraska kids. Nebraska usually produces about 4 d-1 level kids per year. We have 15 of them listed on our 2 deep. Either our talent level is down on this team or the last 4 years has been the greatest period of nebraska highschool football talent ever.
