Let's hope Roberts or those RS are ready cuz Youngs job can't be safe and the other two spots are open

He is a stud athlete, but he doesn't have the desire and attitude to execute at a high level.
If he ever gets his head right, he'll be very good
Between #5 and #26, they missed more tackles today than some guys miss in half a season. No ability to tackle out in space, it hasn't improved and I don't think it ever will.
Young should add 10 pounds and become an edge rusher. Younger fans will laugh at that, but there's a history at NU and at the top of NFL drafts of converted LBs becoming great pass rushers.
Who was converted from LB to defensive end (or rush end)? For NU it happened at a similar moment to today's NU defense. Wanting to get a faster group on the field, we followed the lead of the Miami's and Florida States of the world and moved people such as Trev Alberts, Donta Jones, and Chad Kelsay to name only three (all played in the NFL).Who?
First you have to get the guys with that kind of talent to come to NU. Starting 2 walkon defensive linemen doesn't cut it. Second you need to have to have enough talented DEPTH SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY INJURED GUYS (Young). I've seen more ignorant posts on this board in the last 24 hours that don't consider injuries and lack of depth (mostly due to the ineptitude of our last HC) than I've seen in the last 6 months. Bo boosters don't want to admit it but his behavior horribly affected our recruiting. Enough with the bashing Young. When was the last time we had a sophomore linebacker that has played as well as Young? Why did we have to start a true freshman at linebacker last year in the first place? The kid has battled injuries all year then a bunch of keyboard football geniuses get on the web and bash him. This is the second dumbest thread I've seen on this board all fall. What a bunch of pansies bashing players and coaches because we got beat playing our 2nd string walk on QB against a team loaded with talent and speed. We started 6 walk ons last night. Tennessee is going to have at least one first rounder and possible several early round draft picks. Who from NU is going to get drafted? Gerry? Maybe not and he didn't play. Maurice probably. Anybody else? Nope. Grow up people.Who was converted from LB to defensive end (or rush end)? For NU it happened at a similar moment to today's NU defense.

He may be a stud, whatever you qualify that as, but he clearly lacks LB instincts.

I may have to go watch it again but those guys as a group looked horrible.

Yup. Starting up front.not sure i saw one player on defense that fit what i think a black shirt should be. lack of talent, lack of attitude, just a sad state of affairs.
Talent is not an excuse up front. I keep hearing it over and over. Parrella needs to coach them up and set the tone.

Nope. Quit making excuses. "Plenty of talent" left by the last staff. If that crap is consistently claimed, it goes for every damn position and coach. Pretty damn hypocritical to claim otherwise now.Maybe in the interior of the line but not at Rush end we don't have the talent on the edges plan and simple.

Doesn't matter. All you have to say is there is plenty of talent. Why has Freedom regressed? See, it's easy to make the "talent is there" claim. Keep it consistentPrimarily left the cupboard bare in a lot of places when he left the biggest area was at rush end.
Dzuris, Natter,King, had to move Akinmoladun from TE to DE because of Necessity. Where do you see the talent?

Yup. It sounds pretty stupid. But expecting Husker fans to be consistent is not going to happen.
Maybe JP is indeed a bad hire? Another swinnnnnnnggg and a miss by Riley/Banker? Shouldn't happen under a "CEO" type head coach.Doesn't matter. All you have to say is there is plenty of talent. Why has Freedom regressed? See, it's easy to make the "talent is there" claim. Keep it consistent
Tell us. Is it your opinion that everyone should be fired after 2 years?Maybe JP is indeed a bad hire? Another swinnnnnnnggg and a miss by Riley/Banker? Shouldn't happen under a "CEO" type head coach.

See? It's obvious. Just because you have Seniors, you have more talent. It's so clear.I hear you but I'm sick of hearing about injuries. Get over it. It's part of it. Do you realize Tenn had more injuries than any team this year. 11 starters were out. 7 on defense. They lost to Vandy for crying out loud. By the way of last night. Tenn was missing 4 def starters. Started their 4th and 5th string DT. They had to convert DE to play DT. They did okay against us. We're a top 35 team not top 10 like folks think.
OSU started 1 SR, Wisconsin and Iowa 4, Neb 13. It's not getting better anytime soon.

Plenty of talent. Herp derp. Just need decent coaches. Herp derpReally? It is not a problem? Let's see, we have a former TE playing DE and he has no business being there. You have a walk on at the other DE. A couple of scholarship tackles with one being very young (two if you count the brothers) and Stoltenberg. Now that is not what I would call elite talent in any stretch of the imagination.
I like Young. I think he has a solid future.
Our defense regressed in fundamentals at the end of the season. No doubt about it. But that too is a function of depth, fatigue, and injuries. I think our defense was playing hurt and worn out. That leads to poor execution. And then that leads to low morale.
We need more depth, more talent, and a renewed attention to the small things
Plenty of talent. Herp derp. Just need decent coaches. Herp derp
Go look at how Tennessee has recruited the past 5-6 years and compare that to what BoBo did. The issue IMO was that even with what I saw as a lack of talent in key positions, we were a couple of difference makers away from winning last night. Even with Barnett eating us alive we were in that game and with one playmaker in the D line and maybe even just a healthy TA we would have had a very good shot of winning that game. Heck give us Barnett and let them have Freedom and we win that game. That tells me that our coaches did a helluva job with a less than average 2 deep. JMHO. Tennessee's problems earlier in the year were lots of turnovers. How many did they have last night?I hear you but I'm sick of hearing about injuries. Get over it. It's part of it.
