NU spanked Johnson's ass pretty good a couple of times when he was at Okie State.
A Player Dev Question
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
In TO's 25 year head coaching career, NU lost only 1 game (ISU in 1991, I think) to a team that finished the year with a losing record. That's beating who you should beat as a prime example.
Without actually going back and looking, I would guess TO's overall record against those teams was about 120-5/115-10, or something outrageous like that. The 6 teams Tuco listed were accountable for 25 of TO's career losses, so other losses were few and far between.

That’s great.
I’m hopeful those things won’t just continue but will ratchet up now that there are several hundred miles between DR and daddy and now that he has millions (allegedly) of his own cash in the bank.
They have to in order for him to become great.
Great point. Dylan has had 18 years of mentorship by national championship winning NFL pro. He probably doesn't know how to handle teammates at all.
He did nothing better in his last few games of the season than he did in the first games. If anything he regressed. Certainly didn’t show a development progression over the stretch of games he played in or started.
But I’d welcome you showing me where I’m wrong
First of all what I said was he improved under Rhule because he was actually playing qb and winning vs bench warmer, not even in qb meetings under frost.
Second he was probably “beat up” from all the times he put the team on his back running the ball plus, pretty sure he was concussed after the Purdue game and or injured during the Michigan State game. That’s probably why you think he “regressed.”
It’s been at least 5 years since he’s had a teammate for more than 1 season
And he’s been the #1 kid on every board since about then, also
It’s hard to get to the top. It’s much harder to stay there. Here’s hoping he’s one of the rare ones.
Who is the NC winning Pro? I didn’t think Dom came until 98.
Would be very embarrassing if @GBRforLife1 was spouting falsehoods from his perch atop Mt Pius
Very embarrassing indeed
That's not even the 10th most embarrassing thing I've done today.
I’m very nervous about our QB situation- it’s not ideal.
But I am thrilled to have the lunch pail work ethic and passion Haarberg brings to help set the standard for the room.
Seems he’s the type to be humble enough and capable of competing his tail off, even if Dylan takes the reigns. That dedication is important, and necessary to prevent toxicity seeping into the locker room.
We need anyone and everyone pushing each other and raising the bar of competition. Whomever is best gets the nod.
Hopefully Thomas can be the one to prepare them in an effective manner to be ready starting week 1.
If HH somehow started, we know he did enough to fend off the stud newcomer(s).
If DR starts, it better be because he’s outperformed HH, who “should be” much improved going into next year.
why? Johnson's teams at OSU were average at best. Nebraska should have beaten those teams 29-25-3 and were ranked (18 coaches poll) 1 time to end the season and played in 2 minor bowl games in his 5 years.
Drunkenberger was at OU 1 year and they had a 5-5-1 record.
