Just a quick reminder this will not be a quick fix, have to develop

Disagree. I would bet dollars to donuts that Nebraska gives up less than 160 yards per game in 2023. There will be more big plays, simply because of the attacking nature of the scheme, but yards per game on the ground will be less than 2022. Syracuse only allowed 148 yards per game on the ground last year with White as the DC.

Schedule will also be a factor. Nebraska only plays 1 team that averaged more than 200 yards per game on the ground, Michigan. There are several teams on the schedule that are going to be chucking the ball all over the field.

Pitt has zero to do with Nebraska other than the DC and his defense. You can't compare teams playing totally different teams in different conferences.

We have very little experience on the DL and almost no depth with experience. In the BIG 10 that is going to be an issue. Can they make it work? Yes, but it is going to take a little time. I think there is an outside shot of beating MN and if they do that, we will likely be 4-0. That would go a long with confidence and winning the rest of the season.

Those “fans” who continued to fondle Frost’s testicles beyond year 2 (many are prominent posters here) should be branded as traitors to the program

You’re a real true blue Husker fan….🙄

What does Pitt have to do with it?

Syracuse held Minnesota to 77 yards in their bowl game. Against Nebraska, Ibrahim had 125 by himself. The 3-3-5 that Fleck had nearly a month to prepare for handled Minnesota’s running game and kept Ibrahim in check.

Is that a good enough comparison for you?

Nebraska is never a quick fix between coaches, but somehow every year coaches at other schools are able to show night/day difference in year one or year two.

This is probably the high majority opinion.. therefore, this year it should be the opposite right?

I mean whatever the narrative, it's always the opposite of that, so let's have a banger of a year throwing the ball.

It’s kind of funny how rating pre-season players is used to imply success. Because it’s a numbers game doesn’t mean we don’t have talent. It just means someone…..or three someones have more talent than us at that particular position.

It’s not a secret to anyone in the media or fans to know we have the most undeveloped roster over the last five years. Maybe longer. To me that implys we have some “low hanging fruit” with opportunities for some surprising individual results at certain positions. Who those might be right now is anyone’s guess but I’d be surprised if we don’t have a small handful at the end of the season.

One of things often seen at those quick turnarounds is a rebound the following year. Michigan state a classic example. Often because the ball bounced right for them in the first year.

For as bad as SF was, we were also hampered with a lot of bad bounces and very untimely mistakes. Our unrecognized talent managed to keep us in close games at a very high rate the last five years in spite of some very poor game day management. We lost a lot of games that we outscored the opponents in 3 of 4 quarters. Hopefully we can get a few good bounces this year.
