Anyone who knows anything about Nebraska football knows that offensive line play wins Nebraska football games. 9 Outland winners, 5 Lomardi winners, an award for the nation's top centernamed after Nebraska's own Dave Rimmington. Nebraska doesn't win football games unless they have household names on the offensive line.

Riley needs to be the kid on Madden Ultimate Team who spends his money on a 98 overall left tackle, a 96 left guard, a 97 center and just runs left toss the whole game.

The most EFFICIENT way to success in the Big Ten is to create a DOMINANT offensive line. Compiling skill players without an offensive line is putting the cart before the horse.

Start with a good core on the offensive line, establish ONE starting quarterback who is MENTALLY CONSISTENT, and acquire two or three draft prospect/play makers on the defense. Those are the ingredients to a successful rose garden.

Now, easier said than done, but with the signings of John Raridon, Matt Farinok, and Bryan Brokop, Miachel Riley and Mike Cavanuagh have started to restore the pipeline on the offensive line. I LOVE Patrick O'Brien and Tanner Lee physically and have oodles of irrational confidence when it comes to their decision making at the quarterback position. Cethan Carter, Jordan Westerkamp, Stanley Morgan, Brandon Reily and De'Mornay Pierson-El are all back for the receiving corps. Devine Ozigbo is back to run the football.

Love the offense.

I'm always worried about defense, though. But, Marquel Dismuke is a great four star pickup at safety. Lamar Jackson is another dynamite pickup who should slide in nicely at safety. Plus, we have hoarded red shirts in the defensive backfield that aren't walk-ons and should compete for playing time. And you know that I'll be parking the bus this year, HARD on defense in the fourth quarter. I'm not a Defensive Coordinator, I'm a bus parker, and come January 1st, I'll be driving that bus all the way from Lincoln and then I'll rip her back, and do a SOLID back in park job at the first spot at 1001 Rose Bowl Drive, Pasadena California, we'll go in and win, I'll rip the parking brake off, and we'll drive back to Lincoln smelling the flowers and drinking from the cup.
