Do we have one player that would start for UM?
- Thread starter huskerick
- Start date
How many years have we asked similar questions? Look up the definition of insanity and you will see a pic of our fan base.
No. The talent differential is on display. Nebraska has made mistakes like those irritating false starts, but you can't overcome this much of a talent disparity with coaching. NU has to pull in more 4 and 5 star players.
Housemann isnt starting so even when they poach pur best they dont start.We did but he transferred to Michigan.
This question comes up every single time Nebraska shows its complete inferiority to an opponent.
Callahan's final year every single person on here was adamant, that that roster didn't have a single player on it that could start for a single one of Nebraska's opponents that they lost to. Two years later, while comprised of many of those players, it was one of the best defenses in Nebraska history.
So the only way you're gonna have an answer, is if you take this entire roster from the time they were true freshman, and have them go through the exact same S&C, coaching, and development, that all of the Michigan players have gone through.
But since that's kind of impossible to do, all you're going to be able to say, is "maybe maybe not".

That and invest heavily in our NIL program so we can get the caliber of players like Ohio State and Michigan have.
Cally put TALENT into our program. Coaching matters, and his staff was poor, no one ever said otherwise, but itās MONEY that brings talent, and itās BY FAR the most influential variable. We lack TALENT, and weāre only ever gonna get what we want by paying for it. Literally nothing else matters until that happens:
As lead recruiter and o-line coach, f*ck yeah!!! As HC, f*ck no!!!So, you're saying bring Bill Callahan back?
Junior Colson - MLB was 2nd team all conference last year - so no way Reimer starts
Michiganās center was at Stanford last year and made an all conf team - Ben Scott played in the same conference last year and did not - your 0-2
Michiganās NT backed up a 1st round draft pick last year. Hutmacher didnāt beat out Stephon Wynn. Iām giving the strong edge to Michiganās NT

All 3 players I listed would start. At least try to actually watch football. I played college football and coach the game.
Either way we embarrassed ourselves and none of this matters.
I know Rhule wants to be the developer of undiscovered kids. TO did it extremely well, but it's different now and I'm not sure that is going to work. You can develop skills, but you have to recruit talent. Barry Switzer had it right...it's not about X's & O's, it's about Jimmy's & Joe's. We just need to get a bunch of Jimmy's and Joe's and invest in their talent.
Michigan's NIL money is used to keep proven players from transferring away. Michigan so far has not used NIL money to attract recruits. Ohio State and Penn State use NIL money for recruiting.
They probably use it for their AC helmets too. Was on full display yesterday
You also just don't get the time you once did. Kids can transfer without sitting out and will do it more than once with the waivers being approved for any old reason. The days of a player sticking with it and working his way up the depth chart are going away. These days if a kid isn't starting or just sees a better NIL deal elsewhere he's gone.
Quit blaming Frost. Youāll blame Rhule in 3 years when heās gone. Weāre 5 or 6 coaches deep and Everton lanes the previous coach. See politics. Weāre the new Minn or Iowa. Accept it or youāll be disappointed. Mid 3* U is real. Parity hit us harder than any school and itās not changing.
Announcers made an interesting comment yesterday that Harberg use to have 3 & 4 star players, now he has 4 & 5 star players and coaches them up. So doesnāt matter how good a coach you are if you donāt have the talent. I think the #1 quality in a great coach is being able to recruit the elite talent and then make them even better.
Hey. Maybe our players can go watch a few of Michigan's practices and they can learn some new things that our coaches don't know how to teach. Especially the O-line.
ie. Dion Sanders. Interesting when I googled him he came up after typing in Dion. Rule didn't come up even after I typed in Matt Rule.
He actually is a starter with the third most tackles on the team at 16 sooooo...
