and there are many. I'm trying to figure out do we have even one starter who would start right now on OSU?
Amongst the many problems...
- Thread starter huskerdude88
- Start date
Probably not. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good ol’ fashion melt down
Maybe some of our starters could be useful on special teams for them so their stars don’t get hurt.
Yep. Hard to not get stomped when the opponent is bigger, faster, and stronger at arguably every position, especially the point of attack.
Agreed that's especially true up front. I don't think we have a lineman on the roster that would crack their two deep.
How do you know they are stronger? I am not sure they are bigger as well but the reality is they ARE more athletic and play with great technique, we simply do not.
Eyeball test. Maybe similar strength, just quicker? Whatever the reason is for winning in the trenches and having our o-line, especially, moving in the opposite direction of success on most plays.
I don’t know, have any of our starters been a part of the Ohio State program, their culture, their strength & conditioning/nutrition program, their film study, their practices, their offensive or defensive systems??
Because until our players go through their system, learn what they learn, develop like they develop, and put into position to play like they play, then it’s all an apples to oranges comparison.

We are taking outcomes here, they are the same for everyone in every program. You are talking process which is different for each program.
OSU fan here, the answer is no. I thought hard on it.
I would not take Adrian Martinez over Fields.
Wandale is a good young player, but he would play H back in our offense which is where KJ Hill (#14) plays and he's our most experienced receiver and is a senior on pace to become #1 all time in receptions here.
Maybe JD Spielman? I think he would be in the rotation but would not start over Victor (#9) or Mack (#11) or Olave (#17)
On defense, I was impressed with Lamar Jackson but OSU is pretty stacked at corner. Our 3 corners (we play 3 corners and 1 safety) are Okudah (#1), Arnette (#3) and Wade (#24) and all those guys are going high in the draft.
If Nebraska has a solid middle linebacker, then maybe he could start here. We have a freak athlete in Baron Browning (#5) who is starting to come into his own, former 5*. But he's not always gap sound and is more of an outside linebacker than a middle one.

So you're saying that Scott in his second year at Neb. is a worst coach than the first year head coach at Ohio State. And I thought by all the talk for the last year he could walk on water and led you to the promise land
Maybe if he is handed a 155 million dollar stadium he will be able to buy better players and coach them better...
Thanks for the candid response. You guys looked unbelievable last night. I don't think I've seen Nebraska play a team with that much NFL talent since 2001 Miami. Good luck the rest of the way. GBR!
