How are you feeling, Husker Fans?

This is where I'm placing my continued hope: Faith that we're slowly, but surely, recruiting and building the right body types to make our OL a really good one again.

When you have an OL that can consistently create holes up the middle for a big powerful back (like, oh let's say, a brand-new, highly-touted Big Dawg transferring from USC), it opens up a lot of things for an experienced signal-caller like Martinez.

AM2 still has to step up his game and make quick decisions and hit his open receivers, but a powerful running back behind a good OL can solve a whole lot of problems.

Agreed.
SF wasnt lying when he said we needed to get old, and that to me says O line in particular.
We have recruited a top three or higher rated O lineman from colorado,iowa,Nebraska and kansas since the staff got here.
It should start paying off,and adding Stepp to a potentially deep and finally healthy rb room should give us all some level of hope.
Add in Yager from Utah the third best O lineman from there as well.

Frank was not a great coach. He could not recruit. His off the field exploits landed him in the dog house. He belongs at the level he is at. If he was actually a great coach another P5 team would have picked him up long ago.

Please note that I said Frank was a great coach where he was at (Ohio) and also added Not so much at Nebraska.

Solich owns a career coaching record of 171-100. His 171 wins rank as the fourth most among active NCAA FBS head coaches. Solich has coached four All-America honorees and nine NFL Draft picks during his time at Ohio. The Bobcats have tallied 110 All-MAC selections over the last 15 years.

His record is more than decent and I'll stick with great at Ohio. I also said that he would have been gone faster at Nebraska if he hadn't had Eric Crouch to save his bacon.

I agree and so stated (and have said for years), that our not so great coaching carousel lands directly at Tom's feet. He rewarded Solich for his loyalty, not for his ability to coach the Huskers. I liked Billy C but he wasn't a good fit at Nebraska. I was all behind Pelini until he revealed himself to be a giant ********. I watched less than 30 minutes of the debacle known as Mike Riley led football.

I was all "N" for Frost but he definitely is Not Ready for Prime Time. Can he beat the learning curve? Still remains to be seen. At this point, I'm not too optimistic around it but if he turns things around, I'll be ecstatic. If things don't change this year, his seat better be damn hot or Moos is a fool and I don't think that is the case. I know we had problems when Frost arrived but that was 3 years ago and it's time for a different excuse.

Well said sir! However, I would be massively thrilled if we could somehow get to even average special teams.

Absolutely well stated Fumble. You betcha, a decent to good & vicious OLine would help huge boatloads. We "should" have improvement there. How much? Well, we'll see.

Now, if we can just somehow get even somewhat average special teams....

There is no level of football problem. You are either in the correct state of mind and have swagger to win or you don't. 2023 or bust. Nebraska is a special place. If Frost cannot figure that out then he can leave. Up to now he's certainly been talking way too much about a future of what it should look like. Well the future is now.

I believe Scott Frost is getting it done in Lincoln and all his hard work is going to pay off. We're going to see improvement this season and by the following season Nebraska will be in Indy.
