FW: [Husker] Missouri game

[Monty Perry]

I read the same articles that suggest what you are saying about only the first team getting meaningful reps, etc. I feel if this was indeed the case, then we are basically fielding a team of "freshmen" as far as Bo's defense is concerned. They all are learning his way at the same time, and this may take a while for them to begin playing to "Bo's" level of defense. This still doesn't explain how Bo could take "Frank's" team to such great heights, defensively and is having such a problem with "Bill's" team, unless there is some disparity in talent. I'm beginning to have less faith in Rivals etc!!

That being said, the offense is simply a mystery to me. They performed at a very high level in the last few games last year, but they are not much different now than they were at the beginning of last year, at least it would appear that way without looking up any stats. 

At any rate, I will tune in anytime they are on my tube or radio, and I will bleed red with them each and every week, win or lose!

GBR!

> 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.
