  1. Maybe Herman has HC'd too many teams that have a disadvantage in recruiting.  So much so, that he has created a system that does not lend to pulling the typical studs.  His whole system seems to be using athletic tweeners to edge the competition.

    actually, Frost brought it back

    Then Frost put roster spots where his rhetoric was, adding five walk-on linemen — Stafursky, Jacob Herbek, Matt Huser, Riley Moses and Eli Richter — in the 2019 class. There are five redshirt freshmen walk-on linemen — Mitchell Balenger, Colton Feist, AJ Forbes, Ryan Schommer and Colin Shefke — on the roster as well.

    That’s 10 freshman walk-on linemen, three more than NU’s sophomore, junior and senior walk-on line classes combined. Even as sophomore walk-on linemen Hunter Miller (at center) and Trent Hixson (at guard) battle for starting jobs this spring, older walk-on linemen are rare — at least for now.

    >> Frost had promising thoughts on the Husker walk-on program.

    "I think it's going to be in the next year or two when you start seeing the benefits of the walk-on program. We've got a bunch of guys in the program that are talented enough to help us," he said. "It takes awhile for those guys to develop, just like any other freshman, and it's going to start getting competitive, frankly. We took about 25 walk-ons the first year, about 25 this year, we're kind of limited to between 150 and 160 players on our football team right now but sooner or later those spots are going to have to be earned."

    WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT BLUE BLOOD STATUS. What good has blue blood status done for Nebraska? 

    Nebraska lost the farm hands and their walk on program when Farm Inc. bought all the farms.  Their walk on program made them great.  They don't have it anymore.  Texas still has the best HS football in the nation and we are the premier school in that state.  Act the part.

    I hate this fucking mentality. We’Er TeXaS is the exact fucking attitude that rotted this program to the core and gave us the worse decade in program history.

    It's true.  Mack Brown rotted out program with outright laziness.  Does not change our blue blood status and the fact that we can pull players.

    why is texas not outright buying players these days? what's the downside?

    Honestly, while I try to do the right thing all the time, I have to agree with this.  In the $ec, the MO is to always pay no matter what happens.  If you get caught, keep paying, you are only a few players from prominence.  No real penalties anymore.  Is the NCAA are going to hurt Texas?  Ya right.....

     

    Here's the issue.  When we are dealing with the elite recruits, they are thinking 8 figures and how to get there....  180k is peanuts.  The scheme issue is important.  We need to find players that will fit within our scheme.  TO is still honing this system to flank the spread offenses.  The plodders in the $ec are easy, they can't throw precision passes to the flats.  Not one QB in that conference can do it.  They have never needed to do it until we raped uga.  Now they are on notice....  Can't wait for L$U.

    You’re overrating every single guy by a good bit. Duvernay and Shack are not on a path to even get drafted unless they have huge senior years. Regardless, the 2020 draft won’t be significantly better than the 2018 draft and that one didn’t move the needle on recruiting, so we’ll still be airing til 2021 to change the draft narrative. 

    Every time you post it becomes more and more apparent you have no clue what you’re talking about. 

    The scheme certainly has a small impact, but it’s nothing that can’t be overcome. And like Fud said, it’s far superior to any 4 man front based on the offenses we face. 

    This all falls on Herman. He has to make TO spend time breaking down film with their top defensive targets, like Broughton. And it wouldn’t hurt to even out TOs workload to accomplish this. Being the DC with an offensive HC, thereby only being allotted 4 defensive coaches of the total 11 coaches on staff is ridiculous. Herman also needs to get an ace position recruiter for the front 7 of the defense. Combine that with Herman not being a true closer himself and you have a combination that will miss on its top front 7 targets more often than not. Herman doing nothing about this is a huge stain on an otherwise job well done so far. 

    Broughton believing he needs to be a 4-3 DE is nothing more than the school’s that run a 4 man front outrecruiting is. He’s already close to 300 lbs as a junior in HS and he looks like shit even when lining up outside at camps. He only looks like a potential 5 star when rushing from the inside.

    A lot of people keep saying Elko will soon him inside full time, but he won’t. Kingsley Keke is a perfect example of how misused Broughton will be when Elko keeps him at DE. Many scouts mentioned how much better Keke was from the DT spot when he got to rush there. If Elko used him at DT all year, he would’ve gone higher in the draft.

     

    Man, good stuff.  Remember orange slices and milk and cookies?  Just win baby.   I think we have an easier path than the bama path.  The $ec is going to grind aggy into turd dust.  If we can win the B12 1 out of 2 or 2 out 3 times consistently, we'll get what we want.  I think our D scheme is excellent and very versatile but we do need the elite players on D line to make it to the top.

    I agree with half of your sentiment. I don't think scheme matters for shit. It can be talked around and it can be sold, other schools and shittier schools do it all the time. All you need is a DL coach who punches his time clock for more than 30 minutes a day. 

    Hal Mumme and Mike Leach

    Baylor is not air raid anymore.  They run a very similar offense to Texas and Iowa State.

    Oklahoma State is also not air raid (and hasn't been for several years).  They're a very specific Gundy offense that is way more balanced and interested in forcing defenses to try so hard to stop the run that they give up long bombs.  They just hired a power-spread coordinator from Princeton, too.  So they'll likely get more traditional instead of less traditional.

    So the only teams running true air raid now are ou and TCU, although Yost at Tech has some sprinkling of air raid from his couple of years with Leach.

    You're talking to the drug addicted.  The B12 is not going back to the FB dive.  The new coaches coming in here are going to have to learn on the curve.  Blowout alert's are on the horizon.  They don't have the personnel to run that plodding crap against Tx, osu, & blou.

    A blind squirrel finds a nut every so often. This pretty much encapsulates all of our defensive line recruiting issues, though I might add that SEC vs. Big 12 is hurting us to some degree.

    On D-line yes, QB no.....  Fromm (whatever his name is) is a piece of crap qb.  He would be bottom 4 in B12.  By the time JQJ is starting for us, we will be in the top 3 AP again.

     

    Texas is like a black hole.  Once the winning starts, 95% of the blue chips from Texas want in.  We are well on the way.  Aggy is going to be irrelevent.  Enjoy the wholesale meltdown that will be the 2019 aggy season.

    Leal is large and agile. So are Broughton and Collins. That's why they're highly rated.

    Ya, for sure we need them.  Still, we beat the pups with a WWE wrestler at DE because the plodders have no answer to our elite DB's.

    I actually missed one very important player: Christian Wilkins was a true freshman 5-star. There's our Leal.

    Otherwise, the profile is similar. One top-100 guy (we technically don't have one, but Coburn was in the 120s), one top-200 guy (Ossai, arguably underrated), and then a few guys in the 200s and 300s (Graham, Warren, Jones).

    We need a Broughton.

    Sure but our D is a flanking maneuver set up for air raid defense.  We don't play against 2 yard and "a cloud of dust" teams.  We match up well against the plodding $ec teams as long as their qb's can't get the ball to the flats.  From was a key example of this.  Go re-watch the sugar bowl.  We killed jawja 27-7 with 6 mins left in the game.  We matched up man on the outside and used speed to control the LOS.  Large heavy defenses are going to be phasing out.  Large agile d-lineman are in.  Smaller hybrid lb's with larger hybrid db's.  We are fine.  Stop trying to fit into the $ec mold.  It's outdated.

  12. Everything is going to go through the secondary in our defense.   Single coverage lock down corners = an extra man in the box and in our case with extreme speed.  Everything gets better with lock down corners.  We are close.  Keeping working.

    3 guaranteed losses in Bama, Clemson, and Georgia....which other two do you think they drop? Personally, I want LSU to beat them after Texas beats LSU. The excuses will be fabulous. Schadenfreude galore!

    You think they get by Auburn and Mississippi St.?  They haven't beat these teams in awhile.  I think they lose a minimum of 6.
