No longer a Rumor - Bad news for the OL
- Thread starter Tuco Salamanca
- Start date
I forgot that donny has had 1 extra year to recruit compared to his contemporaries.
year 3 for him now and we're still starting guys on the OL who committed to frost before donny got here.
yuck
Who’s developing the players? The coaches, I assume.
Brix is a true freshman, so it’s hard to blame the coaches for him not being ready.
I know who's developing the players
I asked who's developing the developers (coaches)
our OL coach has been coaching our starting LT for 3 years now. has he gotten any better?
and for the "he's playing out of position!!" crowd - why, 3 years later, is this still the case?
Our starting LT just tore his ACL. For the third time. So that’s hard to get much development.
The back up LT has also been injured quite a bit. I sure hope he is improved.
For the backups, they’re all young. And I hope they’re to step up and develop.
I assume the coaches also have mentors, go to clinics and speak to others. So that would be the direct answer to your question. Who those are specifically, I am unsure.
Also, we should have some assistant OL coaches out there now too.
Rik Bonhness, Jake Young come to mind. We also had Benhart...But, other than the snap situation Jurgens became a helluva player by the time he was a Jr.
Maybe Brix is the future at LT in the unlikely event we get Sanders.
I know Knaack has experience at Utah, but I'd rather roll with the highly regarded young kid.
The game has changed, but NU had some decent success with blocking fullbacks for a few decades.
We need another Tom Rathman. Other than his issue with a fumble or two, he was a devastating blocker, and could take it to the house. That type athlete is out there somewhere.
Tennessee is having one helluva recruiting year.
Give me the checkbook and let me go shopping around. You have to show Sanders how much you want and need him in this program.

we hired the wrong UCF staffer
Much of the time Benhart is looking for someone to block while the play is in motion.
I yearn for the days of Zach Wiegart, Aaron Taylor C, Steinkuhler, Fred Pollock.....Cam Jurgens.
Teddy has torn each ACL once and injured both shoulders.
Yessir!! There is an occassional great young talent that surfaces, stays healthy, and dominates for most of his career.Don’t forget about this Nebraska/NFL legend.
please. Lets look at the numbers and the facts like you say....
Heupel and Norvell were run out of Oklahoma after a 40-6 blowout loss to Clemson, replaced by Lincoln Riley. He went to Utah St for a year and went 6-7 in the MWC in 2015. In 2016 and 2017 at Mizzou led the offense to 4-8 and 7-6 records, took over for Frost and went 12-1, 10-3 and 6-4. For whatever reason Tennessee hired him with that record and at Tennessee he has gone, 7-6, 11-2, 9-4. They have an over under number of 8 or 8 1/2 in 2024.
Probably better than Frost, but had Nebraska hired Heupel in 2018 rather than Frost, please that is the text book definition of revisionist history.
There was no chance Nebraska was hiring the Missouri OC coming off a 7-6 record when Frost was coming off an undefeated season and a Sugar Bowl victory. That is a not debatable."for whatever reason"
Then had Nebraska fired Frost after year 3 and hired Heupel after he took Frost's UCF teams from 12 wins to 6, this board and the Nebraska people would have lost their ever loving minds.
The stars never lined up for Heupel to be the coach here. To write that Nebraska hired the wrong UCF staffer, and be serious about it, is just trolling.
Husker fans losing their minds has been status quo for almost 3 decades.
to reply this vivaciously to an obvious jest, and be serious about it, is just funny.
mid-season form, Tuco. love it!
