Now this I agree with.  First year offense, first year rookie OC.  But
sometimes I get a little frustrated because this is the Nebraska
Cornhuskers.  Milllions and millions of dollars are spent on this program
every year for it to be successful.  (course it makes millions too.)  I
sometimes think this is not the right spot for on-the-job training,
particularly the OC when it is clear we have problems there. I'm can only
give so much time to the "give it time" before I start to feel it is time
to produce.  I'm ready to continue to stay the course but I wonder if BP's
early success in moving the program forward wasn't due to:
1. relatively weak competition (seems like we lose to anyone any
good...this year is better.  I love winning big games and we've won some
big ones this year.  This year is not a bust even should the unthinkable
happen on tomorrow.
2. Having a player for the ages in #93.  Could that guy impact a game or
what!
