Pelini has Nebraska working toward a return to glory

This will happen. Pelini will play for a NC @ Nebraska while Les prolly won't play for an SEC title again.

 

It's hard to win if 1) you have talent and no coaching; or 2) you have coaching and no talent.

I still think Nebraska will have trouble contending for a title unless they can improve their recruiting. They play in a weak division and that will help them get to a Big 12 title game...but then they'll have to beat a Big 12 South team AND win the BCS game.

Nebraska's glory days were pre-BCS and in the Big 8. They haven't done well since playing tougher competition and having to win a Big 12 title.

 

oh god damn. do you guys have to **** up every single thread with this bull****?

 

I noticed after the game that Pelini and Stoops spent a considerable time talking after the game at midfield. Turns out they are from the same town and played HS football together, small world:

Glory days talk is a bit premature. Give him time to get his recruits and his system in place and I could see them getting in on a NC in the future. Aside for a few players, he inherited a mediocre team like Nick did and is turning things around quickly.
