you know you love this stuff Bilsker... You are still strutting around from last night anyways... always fun brother.
Then you should have corrected me and pointed out that NU has offered three "dual-threat" QB's for 2018.

Still hoping for a "tri-threat"...need a quick kick threat from time to time.
We just spent most of Bo's tenure trying to win games with the QB run game...and getting thumped by Wisconsin repeatedly even when we had a healthy Taylor Martinez. We didn't sniff the top 5 and the only year we almost cracked the top 10, it was on the back of the best DT since Rich Glover.
NU needs to win the west (which means beating Wiscy and Iowa) before it can think about winning titles or top 5 finishes.
HH has to be just arguing just for the sake of arguing at this point. He doesn't even appear to be trying to make sense. He discounts 10-3 Wisconsin, with narrow losses to three top ten teams, to argue that we should be more like 9-3 Louisville, with losses to Vanderbilt and Houston.
I certainly enjoy a good debate. Especially when I'm right.
Tommy Armstrong isn't and never was a "dual threat." Solid runner, great competitor, but not a threat to pass. Also, Armstrong had 7 carries for 19 yards in that game.

Worst final type 4 team I have ever seen. Alabama proved it with a shutout of them. Smoke and mirrors they've been w a few good breaks.
They also would have been much better served with Andrew Luck at the helm. Or Tom Brady. Or Derek Carr. Yes, we can all agree that an NFL QB would have made Wisconsin better, regardless of the type of offense they run.
Which goes back to my original response to HH. Define "compete" for a national title. That vague definition allows you to be right about NOT competing right up to the point where you actually win it. "Ahhh...MSU didn't compete for a national title because they got spanked"....nevermind the fact that if you are IN the playoffs you are, by definition, competing for a national title.
So...the only way HH can be proven wrong is by actually winning a national title. And he knows that's a tall order for any coach at Nebraska. (or anywhere else for that matter)
No, give them credit for getting in. I've just never thought much of Michigan State. Still don't. Getting in the playoff means something.
7 of the last 10 title teams have been coached by Saban or Meyer. It's safe to say that very few teams are competing for a national title these days.
Yet somehow HH believes that a running QB is the only route to the championship....even though we tried that with Cody Green, Taylor Martinez and Tommy Armstrong and couldn't beat the Wisconsin team that we shouldn't aspire to be because they don't have the running QB we couldn't beat them with. Do I have that right?

I almost landed Kate Upton.
Silliness. Taylor Martinez would not have started at QB for Alabama, OSU, Michigan, or any other team you are hoping for us to compete with. Let's not get crazy here. Don't tell me we need a top notch dual threat and then talk about how good Martinez was.
I mean, they have an all ACC tackle who is a sophomore. ESPN described him thusly:
Among the nation's best in pass protection = mediocre?
The AP ACC first team offense gives mediocre Clemson even more credit. Their first team includes Hyatt, mentioned above, Clemson's center, and a Clemson jr. guard. Hell, they picked more than half the starters as all ACC first team. Mediocre indeed.
