Agree.I'll take the 2001 season in a heartbeat.
I think wc was thinking Lord left, right and center.........

We tried the QB run game since the Crouch era … 2AM, T-Mart, JLo and others couldn’t stay healthy. And they couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with their pass game.
Crouch was rare with his quickness and toughness.
He also had elite O-Line and his RBs were pretty good too.
You dont start with QB run but you may end up there. Is AC good enough to pull it off? Fast enough, has great feel and vision to get down, run OOB to stay healthy?
He's healthy and few in all of CFB have as many snaps. That means a good O line, decent run game and some play making by our WRs is essential. I think we have potential.

With MR it will always be next year.
Hard hitting analysis right there.
I do recall Riley saying he thought year three was year zero because he had added the walking microphone to his staff, as
What did you expect the Oregon coach to say?
Our OC is desperate to be able to use all the WR and TE weapons he has finally put together, hopefully including an offensive line that can give his QB time to actually look the defensive and see where the bal should actually go.
BUT,BUT, absolutely nothing is more demoralizing to a defensive than to play perfect coverage for 5 seconds, to have a great pass rush, and then for all of that...to have the opponents QB beat you with his feet for a first down!
Raiola was a rare risk for that to happen with a good south wind in the fall, but Colandrea must be accounted for to do this on every passing down and this is a major advantage for this years offense both at mid field and especially in short yardage.
Can you say: boot leg, waggle play; yes I knew you could! as they will be back in style this year

I know its all I have, as Nebraska Football wanders a shell of it's former self.
Something nobody talks about so maybe I'm off base: in the admittedly few clips I've seen, Colandrea is extremely lax with ball security, carrying the football like a loaf of bread. I hope they drill that out of him.Our OC is desperate to be able to use all the WR and TE weapons he has finally put together, hopefully including an offensive line that can give his QB time to actually look the defensive and see where the bal should actually go.

O-line was the issue post Crouch, and has been ever since. Our O-line was so good it was plug and play at RB and QB. Monte Christo, Frankie London, Berringer, Frazier, Newcome, Crouch, Frost. Even Jamaal Lord was quite good.

I agree with this sentence.
