Huskers SquareOffs

Really needs to be equal

No one comes complete with all his ability fully developed. So every player no matter how good, still must be developed in order to have a championship level team.

player development brings recruits.

At NU, Osborne realized he couldn't compete head-to-head with Switzer at OU-- hence focus on development.

Lesser talent can be made great with good coaching, but great talent will go nowhere without good coaching.

Without player development, even very talented guys will fail to contribute well to the team.

You can recruit and win with players who are good... Can work hard learn and execute... And play as a team! Play with heart! GBR

While recruiting talent is obviously vital to a seems success, stars next to a players name on scout and rivals don't necessarily mean they're the best players available. Personally, I'll take a kids desire to be the best, work ethic, and humbleness (i.e. Ameer Abdullah), over a kid with 5 stars, dripping with talent, but has no desire to get better. Just take a peak at an NFL roster, most are made up of 3 star prospects. While you could argue that it is a numbers game (the ratio between 5 and 3 stars), I'd still presume its because of the "development" of talent. Furthermore, I think of it this way. A players rating is based on 1-99 (99 being the best, J.J. Watt, Calvin Johnson etc.), say a 5 star kid out of high school is roughly 75, and a 3 star is around 50. Have you seen some of these 18 year old kids that have a 5 star rating? They look around 30 with full beards. These are basically men playing amongst kids, so of course they're going to make a bigger impact on the field. However, I don't want to categorize all 5 stars in this manner for it is not true. While 3 stars on the other hand, may only be 50 right now, but their potential is much higher than 5 stars. Maybe they don't have much muscle, but a huge frame that has the potential. Maybe they can run a 40 in 4.5 seconds, but has not developed lateral movements. My point is that while 5 stars may have more of an immediate impact, 3 stars may have more of a ceiling, and may become better football players if "developed."

Osborne and his staff were masters of development. both are important but you won't always get the 4 and 5 star studs.

All players need growth -- without development, even 5*'s not attain full potential.

I've NEVER liked Ohio State.

Scott Frost. Plus I think Meyer and OSU are dirty.

Hate urban meyer

OSU is the new Texass

2 reasons, i can't stand urban meyer or ohio state, and i hope this game will give scott frost a boost for a head coach job

I like Scott Frost! I cant stand Ohio State or Urban Meyer! I think with how the BIG 10 teams have competed during this bowl season has brought plenty of recognition to the BIG 10. So I don't have to root for a team I cant Stand.

They aren't coached by Urban Meyer

No team can keep up with this high-speed offense, especially the driver, Heisman winner Marcos Mariota.

Scott Frost

Can't stand Urban Meyer.

Mostly because Ohio State sucks.

I hate ohio state

I want to see Scott Frost be successful in everything he does. Class human being that deserves a huge boost the NC would bring.

1) Frost 2) dont like urban Meyer 3) dont want OSU to get more momentum

Scott Frost

Frost

Glad B1G is represented, however, ...... I'd like to see Scott Frost win a championship as the Oregon OC.

Oregon too fast, OHIO St & Urban Meyer cheat!! There is no need to favor OSt because they are B1G.

I just plain like them. Plus, they are closer to my part of the country. Super plus, I'm loyal to Scott Frost.

IDK about the big.....or pac 12 or sec.....only the huskers....

Just like the team and Frost.

The B1G has already proven to be far tougher than 99% of the media wanted to give them credit for. I'm happy for OSU to get into the championship game, but I don't want to see them get that NC feather in their cap. I've cheered for them far enough! Big Ten is about to get really fun. #GBR
