Its going to be a couple years before Nebraska is a competitor.  Frost will get them there, his record at Oregon and UCF tells me so.  Until then Husker fans are gonna be wet cat miserable.

Frost & Co aren't blameless, but the roster is a shitshow; there are guys on it who have been through 3 HCs and 4 Coordinators. Riley's recruiting was massively overrated, and his roster management was a shitshow...if he still our HC, we'd likely have only 4 WRs and 3 CBs on scholarship right now for example. Negligence.

This is a 4-year rebuild job, at minimum. That said, these guys need to make some fundamental changes to avoid a Little Bighorn-type season that derails recruiting. Widening the scope, a few ACs may need to be traded out as well.

I dunno. Riley recruited fairly OK (according to the rankings anyway). He biffed on OL and DL though, and that's what is killing UNL right now.
Riley recruited skill positions impressively but you're right about the trenches. Since I've witnessed both DL and OL hit rock bottom for my team since 2007, I'll say that a DL can realistically get to a championship level in 2-3 years with all the right recruiting and development (thank you Greg Mattison!), but an OL starting from scratch ...
Well I don't know how fast that one can be but I do know that 6+ years isn't unheard of.

It's actually a pretty unusual/surprising list.
Too early in the season for counting stats, but something to keep an eye on.

So my VCR didn't tape the game, so I didn't get to watch it, though doubt I would've hung past 1st half.  I did watch Sam's (OWH) weekly breakdown vids which are always insightful.    That was some buzzsaw.  I may have been generous in predicting 5-7.

Please tell me that's a virtual VCR, as in a generic recording of a game, and not a literal VCR you're referring to....

My ole lady said no to a BJ, so I talked her into a soft verbal.

I was joking about taping (using a VCR) the game during the SOC thread, as I had volleyball to coach on Saturday during this game, so I never had a chance to watch it live.   I normally do use a DVR, to go back and watch something a series or some such play(s), but I didn't.  Turns out I don't want to see anything beyond Sam McKewon's video breakdown on Twitter.

He was never "supposed" to become this good, but Brandon Watson has quietly been (arguably?) Michigan's best corner this year.
Michael Zordich is an excellent DBs coach. And, like Watson, he largely got a whodat? from fans when Harbaugh hired him.
