Pros And Cons Of The Cornhuskers

117 Words1 Page

At least, that’s if you consider a 93-80 record with just one 10-win season over 14 years to be successful. Apparently, Nebraska does, as the Cornhuskers chose to hire Riley the same week they fired Bo Pelini. That hire happened to come almost simultaneously with Florida hiring former Alabama assistant and current Colorado State coach Jim McElwain. The Gators chose a man who turned the Rams into a 10-2 team, while the Cornhuskers settled for a name with mediocre results. For a program like Nebraska, firing Pelini in the first place does make some sense. The Cornhuskers are historically one of the best programs around, but didn’t find themselves competing for national titles during Pelini’s seven-year

Over the past few years Baylor has become known for their high octane offense, where they use speed to accelerate passed defenses to score, and they do score a lot, and the don 't let up.

    206 Words  | 1 Pages

    One of the staples in the Mile High and Gary Kubiak offense has been being able to produce at the running back position. It seems that no matter who you plug in, you get the results. From Terrell Davis to Mike Anderson, no matter when they were drafted or if they were even drafted at all, the Broncos have been able to put up numbers. Some pundits say it is the system, but I think it 's just a tradition when Gary Kubiak and the Broncos link up. It was that way when he was the offensive coordinator and it will continue this year in his second year with the team.

    When Fisher decided to leave, I felt like he did it in the opposite way he should have. This analysis was conducted to see if my perception of him leaving shared the feelings of other fans and students. Most of the tweets that were positive were from TAMU fans or students. With all the negative energy towards Fisher, it seems that he has cut his ties with all of FSU for good. That being said, Florida State University should move on and focus on bringing in a bigger and better coach than Fisher was or will

    Although, when compared to Dabo Swinney it is impressive to see what Swinney has accomplished in less time and with the first football team he has ever been head coach of. Swinney as head coach of the Clemson Tigers has had three College Football Playoff appearances in the past three years. In the past five years he has led the Tigers to six straight top twenty-five finishes. In the past three years Dabo's team has finished in the top four of the final college football rankings. Likewise, so has Saban, but Saban has been in the business longer and it has taken him longer to achieve what Dabo has in such little time.
