His backup looked great.

Wisky's O-Line

ummm, is this what you were trying to say? I think a better take may be, "since one offense is in 25th year of running a certain style, and the other offense is in it's 15th game, I wouldn't expect them too."
Besides, who are you kidding, Wisky's O-Line is the envy of 98% of college football teams. Ours, not so much.
13 of 17 on that O-line roster are from Wisconsin. Looks like it's pretty easy to recruit huge O-lineman road grader types from the home state. Nebraska has nothing like that when you consider Nebraska population is about 1.9 million while Wisconsin is 5.8 million. So it's simply not a fair comparison what we're going to get for O-line recruits versus Wisconsin IMO.
While you are correct, the level of play isn’t comparable at all either.
I think you see our staff going after a totally different type of lineman than the past staff. Lots of 6’6” 255-265lb guys. They want to grow them into what they want. In the past too many 300lbs right out of high school. Granted Wisconsin has just developed better and has years running the same system. Our guys have fat man arms, no muscle. Our line has looked kind of fat and weak for twenty years.
Nobody is arguing otherwise, so I'm not sure what your point is. But even when Nebraska's O line becomes really good, it won't look like Wisconsin's.
O-Line is not as bad but still making too many mistakes … false starts, high snaps have returned, failure to score on 1st and goal is somewhat on them as well.
I've been wondering what your point was ever since you were defending Riley
When on god's green earth was I defending Riley?
I seem to remember Nebraska high schools ran offenses very similar to TO's offense back in the day, so the Olinemen coming out of those schools were perfectly suited for it when they got to Lincoln. I wonder if Wisconsin high schools do the same. I wouldn't be surprised, since Barry Alverez has copied so much from the Huskers.
When you weren’t calling for his firing the day after he was hired. I fell into the same category.
And then he'd immediately start recruiting OL's that fit his actual offense.

As in most states the offenses run in high school are a mixed bag. I don't think there is an intentional effort to be like the state university here in Wisconsin.
I also think in today's collegiate football world its night and day between high school and college (unless you're in Texas). The S&C, nutrition and coaching are so much more intense, in depth and extensive in college.
are they new starters or new to the system?
