If only Oregon coaches viewed nebraska the same way...

Who is nebraska's starter? Who recruited him out of high school? Tulane? 2 star?

That ain't talent!

They wouldn't know what hit them.

If you want a real discussion, jump in with non-fabricated facts. Yort had no problem doing that. Shoot, his slipping in of best receiver meaning #of catches instead of #of yards was pretty sly. Good on him. But use facts like they were 38th in offense last year. They have a brand new coach this year and are trying to learn a new system (if it is an issue for us on D its an issue for them on both sides of the ball). They have some good backs returning but did lose their top receiver (or 2nd best receiver if we decide that receivers are measured on receptions and not yards). This year's quarterback went 2-5 last year as a starter.

But getting your panties in a wad is no way to discuss facts.

That was fun.

I had no dog in this fight, really... just thought it was funny that every time you claimed something to support how bad they were, Yort had an answer.

I commented on that and you didn't like it.

As I said, that was fun.

PS... I don't wear panties. Only you do. Apparently.

Were you expecting them to perfectly execute a new defensive system during the 1st game against "live bullets"?

Nebraska needs to cut down the leaky yards (plays that should have been stopped for 3-5 yards went for 7-12 yards) and not allow the opponent 89 offensive plays (safety gave an extra possession and they didn't convert enough 3rd downs in the 4th quarter).

There will be some improvement this week, but not as much as some people seem to be expecting. A very talented Oregon offense falls too early on the schedule. I do like the schedule for next three games (NIU, Rutgers, and Illinois) to allow the defense to gain much needed experience before the major tests of Wisconsin and Ohio State.

How did go from improved to perfect. You game goals (cut down on long plays, etc) but you didn't say how it would be done which is what I asked.

P.S. They have two quarterbacks left on the team because of a rash of transfers. The second teamer is a true freshman. Their starting quarterback started 4th on the depth chart last year. He is a sophomore who was a 3* coming out of Eugene. His other offers were Montana St., Portland St. and Northern Arizona.

Let that sink in. Their starting quarterback had offers from:

Montana St.

Portland St.

Northern Arizona

I'm sorry but that ain't talented.

P.P.S. Keeping with the original topic, this is why we need to be aggressive on defense. I don't think Herbert has the skills to beat us with a bit of pressure in his face and they lost their deep threat. The worst thing is to let him get comfortable dinking and dunking.

This post did not age well.

Probably right. He looked good. Then again, we seem to make a lot of quarterbacks look really good.
