[Husker] Why is it?

[Jon Johnston]

- This is the way it's been my whole life. Even before the internet came along, coaches and players were being crucified after losses in coffee shops across Nebraska. Why is it that you're still shocked by it? 

- 3-5 years to get his players in place? This is year four. You think maybe he'd have the right defensive backs by now, right? And given that coaches are continually moving on and up, are we going to make the same excuse when a coordinator moves along to another position somewhere else? 

- I was surprised that Tim Beck basically abandoned the running game. It was a stupid decision, especially since Wisconsin was not loading the box all of the time.  It may not have cost us the game necessarily but it cost us being competitive. 

This was an embarrassing loss. Like I said, the reaction has been the same after an embarrassing loss just about forever. Honestly, what did you expect?

It will take between 3 to 5 years for Coach Pelini to get his players fully in place. And with the change in offensive scheme from west coast what they are doing now may make it take a little while longer.

Being listed at 6 feet makes him 4 inches shorter than the Wisconsin's average height. Terry Bradshaw talked about how a shorter quarterback has to be back farther and loft the ball more, so Taylor Martinez's mechanics may not be so bad given his height. If there are not throwing lanes, then he may not be able to see the entire field.
