[Husker] Missouri game

[j j]

I disagree with the talent difference between MU and NU. After this year Mizzu talent level drops alot. They lose a lot of offensive starters and the back ups are not near as good. I look for Pinkel to leave for Washington if the job is open at years end. 
 
And it is about coaching. Or lack there of. Not from this staff but the previous one. If the first team is the only one that got reps for the last 4 years then if you weren't a starter you basiclly got no practice at all. And then what were they being taught anyway? It sounds like if they made a mistake in practice it wasn't corrected so how did they learn from them? Oh yeah they went and watched game film. Hard to learn if you arent being shown the right way at practice. 
 
We have a first year head coach who is trying to teach guys how to play football when they haven't been getting that teaching for the last 4 years. My guess is that the good teams were being coached right and that is why we look so outmanned. The good teams have juniors and seniors who have been getting practice for the last 3-5 years, not just standing around watching. If these players had been getting the coaching they needed and the reps that they needed I doubt you would be seeing such disparity.

I realize Missouri is better then Nebraska but I have to say after watching the
first 3 quarters of this game tonight it has become apparent to me that Nebraska
is LIGHT YEARS away from teams like Missouri in talent across the board, and
quite honestly I never thought I'd say that.  

Callahan and staff were simply not the recruiters they were given credit for,
period. I'm not ready to blame Pelini for any of this because watching the
defense closely I can see how simplified he has made this scheme, and the
players still are so badly out of position it's ridiculous. Some will say
that is coaching, but in this case it is not, they are simply not good enough to
play with Missouri.

Buffalo played better than this against Missouri, and right now I think Buffalo
would have no trouble handling Nebraska either at home or in Lincoln.

There are several players on defense who don't even belong on the field, at
least not at this level. I know we are not supposed to mention names here so I
won't but I think it's painfully obvious who the players on defense are
that need to be replaced with Pelini recruits.

Even when Nebraska was winning every game their opponents didn't look as
overmatched as the Huskers look tonight, and I'm afraid it isn't going
to get any better this season unless some drastic improvement takes place. 

I hate to say this but I'm almost embarrassed for these guys tonight. It
reminds me of the Texas Tech game in '04(?) Luckily it doesn't matter
what I think. I cannot believe I didn't bet my savings account on this game
tonight (10 point spread!)
