Saw this, and feel morning wood comin' on.

Nebraska often played just six or seven guys on the line for most of last year.
Sirles said building more depth on that line is "huge" in being the kind of unit they hope to be in 2011.
"You've got new fresh legs coming in, keep pounding on that defense, keep pounding on those linebackers," Sirles said. "And then when they get a little fatigued, put in the brand new guys. Being able to platoon guys like that, that's what they did back in the 90s. That's what won national championships. It works. Having depth is incredibly important and it's what's going to help us in the long run."

12 Dobson Rules Can Pave the Way to a Championship Season

Yes it was...couple quotes that stood out to me-

"They're really looking forward to us coming into the league, and so is everyone else in the Big Ten" Dobson said. "They're all welcoming us with open arms because they want to beat our ass. That's the bottom line."

"Every time we go into a Big Ten venue, and every time they come into ours, it's going to be about "Beat Nebraska!" Dobson said. "Let's face it. I grew up and lived in Wisconsin. Every Thanksgiving it was Oklahoma-Nebraska. All I ever heard was Nebraska, Nebraska, Nebraska. I got sick of hearing it.

"Now they get their chance to beat Nebraska. Every week it's going to be like that, even for the so-labeled 'not so good teams.' We're going to be their bowl game. Playing us will define a big part of their season. There's no question in my mind - we're going to get the best shot from every team we play."

These stuck out to me.

He has seen the players take it upon themselves to amplify their drill instructor's no-nonsense approach.

Some guys are now in their fourth year in the program, and they really buy into it because they see results. They see all the good things that come from having those 12 principles as their daily guide."

"It's the evolution of the program," Dobson said. "Three years ago, we had younger guys in here learning what the focus was. Now, they're the older guys and they're saying: 'You know what? I'm going to run with this. I've earned my right to say things.' Personally, I want those guys saying that because I know they kind of have it. They think right, and they believe in what we believe in."

"This summer, I didn't say a thing about it, and the guys just kept doing it," Dobson said. "Then, all of a sudden, they all started getting the whole team together. They went here and they went there. It didn't matter where they went. The point was they wanted to be together. I quit handling it when I knew they wanted to handle it, and they've gone on done a great job bringing everyone together."

Dobson knows why it worked. "Obviously, they started to like each other," he said. "Their agendas are no longer different. Our guys are all on the same page, and it's good to see that. They're focused on one goal, one purpose. To have a chance, that's the way it has to be. I don't think you'll ever be where you want to be because you're always striving to get better, each and every day. Even when you win a national championship, you have to start all over again the next year."

This is what I've been seeing reported through spring and summer. This team matured last year it seems and now they seem to know that the goal, a championship will not be given to them just because they play for Nebraska.

They seem to have jelled developed a work ethic and accountability to their teammates.

Last year I saw glimpses of talent and then I would see them sit out games mentally. This is what allowed Texas and Oklahoma to beat us. If that is fixed then I think the sky is the limit.

What happened was is they finally weeded out the last of the callahan recruits. Not saying they were bad leaders and teammates, but you always got that feeling there was noticeable a divide between Pelini's players and Callahans.
