Maybe nobody is shocked.

Your "recent success" might was well have been 100 years ago. The recruiting class that followed just lost their last 7 games as Sophomores and got beat at home by the Little Sisters of the Poor to kickoff their Junior season.

KU's running backs also gained 31 yards on 32 carries. Let's not act like this was Miami losing to Penn State. If these 2 teams played again next week, KU is maybe a 2.5 point favorite, basically a push at a neutral site.

ku has recruited decently pre-2010 class (which was a disaster), but there are some huge holes. The biggest, obviously, is that a replacement QB to take the reins from Reesing was not located. This includes a huge local miss with Blake Bell and Bubba Starling (not that he will play CFB anyway). The recruiting on the lines remained at the same level. The main recruiting wins were at DB and WR. Both are nice but less effective if line play is poor.

And that is this team's biggest problem... Atrocious line play. Maybe it's scheme change. the quick, athletic OL recruited to block for the spread is going to have a tough time blocking in a power scheme. Those guys aren't suited for drive blocking.

I don't think the little talent left behind for Gill really suits what he wants to do. It's going to take some time before he has his type of players. That likely means a few years of pain, and who knows how well they bounce back after that? It's really like starting at square one all over again.

1. Nebraska was ranked ahead of OU last year.

2. Nebraska is ranked in the top 10 this year.


How the **** are they comparable to the Royals in the least bit?

Nebraska hasn't won shit in over a decade. They aren't at Oklahoma's level. Maybe the gap is closing some, but they aren't there yet. Nebraska may even have the better team this year, but they aren't the better program. Not even close.

Hey moron what was OU in the 90's? Oh wait you're a Mizzou fan I guess you didn't watch college football then.

Nebraska was a better program in the nineties. That was not one but two decades ago. Sorry that you think Nebraska's program is currently on the level of Oklahoma's. That makes you the moron, not me.

Well obviously they must not be that far apart if Nebraska beat them last year and finished ranked ahead of them.

Kansas must have been a better program than Virginia Tech 2 years ago, then.

You must be confusing Nebraska with Missouri. When was the last time Mizzou beat OU? Nebraska is ranked in the top 10 and has a top 10 recruiting class for next year. You might not like it but those are the facts.

Not sure what Missouri has to do with anything. Missouri isn't on Oklahoma's level, either. Oklahoma has ended the season ranked 11th or better 8 times in the last 11 years and has played in 7 BCS Bowls and has won a championship in the past decade. Nebraska has played in 1 BCS bowl in the past decade, and that was 9 seasons ago in a losing effort.

Oklahoma had a huge down year last year. Congratulations on beating them when they had their worst team in a decade and you had your best team in a decade. The fact that you are crowing about that should be proof enough that your programs aren't on the same level.

Yea because Nebraska/OU isn't a rivalry or anything :doh!:

Michigan vs. Ohio State is a rivalry, too. That doesn't mean that Michigan's program is on par with Ohio State's in the past decade. (Maybe that's a bad comparison because at least Michigan has played in 3 times as many BCS games over the past decade as Nebraska.)

Let's not forget that you won the game 10-3. They beat you by 40 points the year before. In fact, it was your first win against them since 2001.
