Coach Austin has a tall task to coach up the OL. Based on all the complaining I've seen from UNL folks (about the OL), I wouldn't be too high and mighty making 8-9+ win predictions. Couple that with a QB that needs to learn the system, or trusting a true freshman who is coming off injury, and there will be a lot of growing pains. Anyone should be better than Tanner "Pick" Lee, though.
There really are a lot of parallels between UCF and Nebraska when Frost arrived. Our OL was horrid, and we had an inconsistent QB in Justin Holman. All the arm talent and measurable you want...but poor execution (again, behind crappy OL play).
Nebraska is getting a hell of a staff, we all know. I wonder how long it will take to turn it around. All depends on the growth of the OL.
