I absolutely hate what happened this year at Nebraska. We should have had a much, much better record. Lots of blame to go around and a lot of mitigating circumstances like injuries and no real QB on the roster.
All that said ... what is done is done. Time to wash the stink of this season off of us and move on. This year was more of the same damn crap we have seen for 8 years now. But that is no guarantee that it will continue. Find a couple of good QB's in the portal, get our incoming Freshman QB up to snuff, add some new blood to the offensive line, and we could just have a really good season next year.
Sanders had a rough year at CU which only goes to show that it is not easy to fix a dumpster fire overnight even with the portal. I actually like Sanders and his swagger. I think he could turn out to be a good coach for CU. Both teams will have high hopes heading into next Fall. But I think the Rhule approach of building a program rather than renting a bunch of high end players for a couple of seasons is better than the Sanders approach. We need to use our NIL money to bring in some great players so don't get me wrong. Talent matters. But so does building a program.
On to next year. Hope springs eternal.
In Rhule I trust.
