Given the talent on our current roster ... I would say we are 5 to 6 years from that. Assuming our recruiting improves, which I think it will
Not again in my lifetime..I am 42 and generally unhealthy so it may be sooner than I think ...seriously though I dont think we win one again in the next 25 years
Yeah, I thought it was a great lead block till I rewound it and saw that he tackled him.
Let's just say I'm glad I was fortunate to see our run from back in the day and was old enough to appreciate what I was watching at the time and I remember it well.
Very obvious when they showed the replay.
I wish Kirk Herbstreit would have used the word targeting when he said head to head hit. Edit: He used the term after the commercial break.
The runner was held up by the first tackler for the second tackler to target him. The tackler led with the crown of his helmet. Horrible missed call.
Oh wait, it's Bama so they get the benefit of the doubt. They are a great team. They don't need your help winning refs. Let them win it fair and square.
^^^^ next coach needs to be a big name with some big game. Lincoln isn't going to pull them by itself like it used to. I really hope I see it again in my lifetime.
If Clemson can't put points on the board then this is over. They've shown they got the defense, but they got to score.
Not until we get a dominating defense like we had in '95 and 2009.
We were 9-4 this year. Improvement at this point is making the CCG. That's my goal for next year. Improve recruiting, new QBs, better depth on the lines, better special teams play. I'm looking forward to it!
Completely agree, winning the west next year is a must for Riley. Without question there was improvement in some places this year, now we have to take it to the next level.
That's insane defense. Clemson back did not secure the ball. Held it away from his body. Bama defender (#22) was superb.
It can definitely happen, Pennsy. 5-6 years? That might be a bit soon.
To be completely honest, watching this game tonight I do miss those NC seasons, big time. Yeah, I know it's a bunch of 18-22 year old kids and all that. But as an official "old timer", we just got used to and always expecting Big Red to be in the mix.
It could happen again, the right coach gets the right players and things come together. You bet it could. Not to take anything from MR, he's a good coach and a good man, but I honestly don't see it happening. Call me negative, I really don't care. (And frankly, I'll support MR and the Huskers as long as he wants to coach).
My point of this post is not to dwell on MR, but just to say, yes, we can and will get back there again some day and I think it will be in my lifetime. GBR!
Well, the Huskers had their first MNC in 1970 & 1971. I was too young to remember those games. There was lots of talk about them and how Osborne could never win the big game or against the Florida speed. Then the 90's happened. It took NU 23 years to get our next MNC. We also can't forget that the game has changed. TO most certainly would have evolved his offense to run a more spread attack that we see popular today.
Yep, that's a very good point. But even though it took 23 years (and if we kick an extra point against Miami for the tie, we win one in '83), we were still knocking on the door. It sure would be fun to be back in the conversation again, whatever we have to do to evolve with today's game--I've all for it.
