What year was it the last time you watched Nebraska football and thought....

Yeah, the 1999 season. The bowl game against Tennessee when we had two 90+ yard drives to end the game, completely manhandling and humiliating a good Tennessee team.

And maybe the first quarter of the 2000 season when we were about to go up 21-0 on Oklahoma before Solich got cute with the passes and choked the game away.
 
The option always had a ton of turnovers, that is not a sign of poor discipline, just an offense with a ton of awkward pitching and handoffs. When you run a vanilla pro offense and have a ton of turnovers and penalties that is poor coaching...but Riley has ALWAYS had undisciplined teams. This is why he can beat anyone but lose to anyone. I fully expect we beat Wisconsin this year but only win 5 games.
 
We had a few stretches under Pelini of really good play - but too few - and all his other issues meant he had to go.
