Nebraska used to recruit supreme athletes to play the skilled positions from all over the country. They only needed 10-15. The rest of the team was corn fed held back, red shirted 23 year old linemen. They handed off and ran the option and won 11 games a year.

The decision makers still live in that world. 9 wins by Solich was never good enough. They have not adjusted their expectations, and are still chasing the 70’s.

You forgot their steroid program

Or how they gray shirted tons of dudes before redshirting them

It helped them build so many monsters who didn’t play until 22 or 23 years old
