Message: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 4386227, member: 3723"] I would love to hear from you what the number of disadvantages are that Nebraska has compared to the advantages that UCF has specifically around running a high end college football program. Despite the obvious advantage in proximity to talent that UCF has, Nebraska has regularly out recruited the Knights and averages top 25 classes. They have the fourth most talent per the 247 talent composite in the Big Ten. So would love to hear you make the argument there and cover the other “numerous” disadvantages NU has in your mind. If anything, Scott has done a fairly great job recruiting skill player talent to NU over the last 5 years. Keeping them on campus has been the problem. What kills NU is the complete lack of focus and development on the OL and DL. They are soft as dog poo on both sides of the ball and get pushed around up front. You also mention transfers when NU pulled in 15 last year and has one of the largest NIL operations in the country, beating Texas for Ochaun Mathis, bringing in Casey Thompson, etc. There’s no doubt that NU will not repeat 1990-1997 again in the future. I don’t know a single person that thinks that that kind of run is possible at virtually any program outside of Alabama. Hell OSU and UGA haven’t been able to produce a run like that. But to think that NU isn’t positioned well enough to compete at the top end of the Big Ten when teams like Wisconsin and Iowa are doing it with significantly less resources and talented rosters is just dumb.
