Would be best for that dude to just put his head down and work without looking for attention and social network affirmation IMO.
There was zero deception in our run game and virtually no threat of a QB run. Our play action fakes were awful. You might as well just have held up a sign saying “we’re running the ball” or “it’s a pass”. I like Whips route trees but damn he did nothing to keep the D guessing.
It’s as if Whipple didn’t really care if the run offense generated any yards in the last half of the season. Two drives against Wisconsin where NU just had to get one first down.
Frost was right when he said Whip needed to be more imaginative in the run game. Our offense was better IMO before we fired Frost.
Was reading an article on line that Raiola is going to get some O line coaching help this spring for certain. Foley has coached O line and someone else. It will be good just to get some different eyes on the situation.
My take on Rhules comment about thr O line is running plays were they aren't locked up in so much man to man, more combo blocks at the point of attack. Every HS coach dies that at times, you won't get the big yards but maybe you can sustain something. Just a guess.
Edit: the same article was blasting Raiola for his lack of ability to recruit. They went down the list and named which coach actually recruited the kids. Said the kids we got this year were all coming here regardless. So I guess we will see long term.

The biggest addition of this offseason, without a doubt.
The biggest addition in awhile.
Our O Line has been historically bad. This pickup cant be overstated.

Does this ring a bell National: "I have an asset on the west coast very well connected and Neb. is on the outside looking in"
I think he meant to say. "I'm an asshat on the West Coast." I'm not connected to anything Nebraska. Im on the outside looking in."
The design team and editors should be paid a $100K salary. One of the bright spots in the last few years.
Dude idk if you’re trolling but the talent in the OL room has been horrible, like worst in P5. Granted the personnel decisions didn’t help along with injuries and a steroid ban.
That is good to hear. I read the article by Jeremy Pernell that asserted the opposite and said most of our O line recruits this past year were the result of other coaches and not Raiola.
Pernell knows as much about what our recruiters actually do as that doofus national. Which means nothing. Our O linemen love the guy and so have kids he’s recruited. Our problem previous to Rhule recruiting hasn’t been Raiola. Some say “all he got this year were guys who were coming to NU regardless of who the O line coach was”. That’s baloney. Part of our failure in the past was not appreciating guys like Harrison Phillips to chase kids from Florida.
Cross our fingers that Teddy comes back at full strength and is healthy for a whole season..
He and Teddy will battle it out at RT. I think everyone wants Teddy to lock down that RT, but he needs to get healthy. Benhart has been public enemy #1 with Husker fans but he actually played a lot better toward the end of the year and I hope he sticks around and competes.
This is damn good news. Thanks for this. I did not know really who Pernell was so I did not know how seriously to take his analysis.
Cam Jurgens took an *** ton of heat for the longest time and once he got things figured out he became a favorite... When Bryce came to NU people were excited to have him and then we all saw just how much work he was gonna need.... here's to hoping another year and continued progression sees this kid turning out ok
We didn’t do him any favors by throwing him to the dogs as a freshman. We have to try to get to the point where we can allow kids to mature before we expect them to block early round draft pick B1G pass rushers.
I don't know what position on the OL Benhart is going to play but I feel the new staff will figure it out. Let's all hope Bryce has a turn around this year and we can all say well done to the young man.
