I agree totally with you. Mike Riley was a disaster. ESPN morons are clueless. Bo Pelini was struggling with recruiting. That did him in.

Yeah, about "Nebraska being one of two teams that dominated college football in the 80s". Oklahoma begs to differ.

[@hambone694]

Oklahoma* and Miami dominated the 80s. Osborne never could get by the Sooners until Switzer retired.

[@33TimberWolf]

Frost was corrupt as a player, joke as a pro, whiner as a coach. Nebraska dominated in the 90s, and got exposed when they joined the Big “Ten”.

[@onerepresent]

These players all transferred because they weren’t good enough. Kade Warner couldn’t even catch a 5 yard post route in the endzone WITH NOONE ON HIM, and was a perfect throw! Only reason he’s getting his name mentioned is bc of his LAST NAME.

[@Akshunpakd]

I was hoping the comments about them not having a clue were an exaggeration. Then Zubin's monologue started and I found out quickly the comments were conservative.

[@CastleDragon78]

I think there's some good information here... Nebraska has to man up and admit we got fidgety and helped cause this mess... the husker program has to find a way to attract players again... but where I disagree with Keyshawn is that Frost is the right guy right now... to build a BIG 10 team from scratch takes a lot of time and effort to build... Nebraska was a top 50 on defense last season and had some high performance stats on offense just no wins... it is slowly turning the corner....

[@clutchhattrick8767]

I’m a Husker fan who doesn’t even like Frost but these guys literally are just talking to talk. Ofc the dude who sent his son to play with Riley says that Riley was a great coach in the right direction. Bro. We lost by 20+ 5 straight games and went 4-8

[@coelhocointech9841]

Nebraska always had those massive 300+ pound giants on the line

[@rj521]

Keyshawn's son got busted for pot the first summer he was in Lincoln and left on his own before ever suiting up for a game.. Kade Warner, is not super fast and is suppose to be a possession type receiver. Last year Kade dropped two TD passes when he was wide open and he dropped another pass that would have given the Huskers a crucial first down in the second half of a game. He only caught 5 passes all season. I don't know anything about his playing status at K-State but I could not find where he has caught a pass yet after 3 games.. Luke McCaffrey is simply not a quarterback. He does not protect the ball and he is a terrible passer. Scott Frost deserves criticism for ever recruiting him to play quarterback. Watch him now that he is at Rice. He is still terrible. Should transition into being a receiver to take advantage of his natural speed. Scott Frost definitely misused Wan'Dale Robinson. Had him in the running back position. Too Small. He's playing receiver at Kentucky and performing very well.

[@happyhippo4664]

Nebraska thought they'd join the Big Ten, run roughshod over the teams, and win national championships. Then reality set in.

[@cacornhusker2940]

Steve Pederson ruined NE Tradition...even destroyed and remodeled the Athletic Department and removed the History, jerseys and posters of our greatest players. Playing for the Cornhuskers is waaaaay more than wins and losses, it's a chance for our players to become role-models & legends in Husker Lore.

[@ryangi5]

The guy in the middle has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what he’s talking about!!! I live in Lincoln. “Mike Riley has turning things around.” WHAT??? ABSOLUTELY NOBODY IN NEBRASKA AGREES WITH THAT! Riley is a nice guy, but things only got progressively worse. And I think he said Scott Frost only did well at UCF because of the previous coach’s recruiting. The previous couch at UCF WENT 0 FOR 12!!! But the guy in the middle isn’t willing to attribute any of Frost’s difficulties in Nebraska to Riley’s recruiting or the culture Riley created.

[@connerwildlife7243]

This show is a joke

[@calebmorice5242]

How are they wrong?

[@davidcraig9233]

Nebraska also hung screwed up by moving to the Big 10. I love the Big12, but look at what joke it has turned out to be with loss of Nebraska and Texas A&M.

[@markneeley7191]

Coaching is the tell-all in football because its the nucleus by which programs are grown. The AD that fired Solich was the snowball that started the effect. Pellini was a hothead-so what ? Players respect powerful leaders. Quit baby powdering tooshies and let's get back to power football, which is a solid run attack. Passing follows suit. Been a fan since 1973, and Osbourne made u pay if u coughed up the ball. It's a game of strength, not finesse. Mentally as well as physically well-prepared players will always dominate in this sport-not players who are used to being coddled to. Grow up and lead by example.

[@johnsheridan3107]

Riley had things headed in the wrong direction let’s not forget Keyshawn’s son was caught smoking weed in Lincoln

[@futt-bucker]

Started to get things going with Mike Riley?? Dude..... His last season NE went 4-8 the most losses in a season since 1957. Yea that sure is "heading in the right direction"... If that direction was a dumpster. And Frost started with all of Riley's recruits. He just now has his recruits playing.

[@kellymcmanigal3375]

Keyshawn you don’t have any bias towards Riley do you...??? Son didn’t want to work harder than Riley required.

[@jon251]

We lost 3rd string players. Only why this is getting press because of their last names. None were starters so what’s the conversation about??

[@UberVike]

Wandale was a third string player and not a starter? You are clueless.

[@jon251]

@@UberVike did I say Wandale? If you’re looking for an argument look elsewhere

[@UberVike]

@@jon251 wandale was in this video clearly and was one of the three mentioned. You responded to this video saying it was third stringers that were lost.

[@jon251]

@@UberVike ok yes you’re right I should have clarified and left him out of the conversation

[@battles423]

You don’t have to go to a school in the middle of nowhere to get on TV anymore. Nebraska was one of those programs who was always on TV. That’s why big recruits (blacks) went to school there. No longer necessary to leave away from home state now.

[@easterlake]

Because they woke up one day and realized they were playing for Nebraska.

[@TheOlmonroe1]

Should've never fired Frank Solich.

[@O.ggamingreview]

In some parts keyshawn is right. 1. You let your booster get involve with your program. 2. At one time they had the great facilities but other schools caught up. 3. The name of the game in college football is what have you done for me now. You have a 18 year old kids who has talent you convince him to go to Nebraska or Alabama. If Scott frost walks in your house to recruit you son Nebraska or nick saban walks in with those championships rings your son looking at saban like where do I sign

[@jamiewelker2785]

Keyshawn you should have thrown Nebraska a bone and told them to get rid of Mike Riley before he even showed up.

[@RebelfanfromBamaland]

Lol Riley bombed the program. The roster tanked under him. Awful recruiting. Then a massive exodus after Riley was let go. Frost hasn’t had much to work with. Now, we’re entering year 3, there does need to improvement record wise. Can’t use Riley as an excuse anymore after year 3 and further. But to say Riley had Nebraska going in the right direction tells me all I need to know about these guys. Clowns

[@jongrant1215]

Keyshawn really liked Mike Riley but Riley never produced. That is why he is so negative on Nebraska. He wanted his son with Mike Riley. It was not going in the right direction under Riley. He was turning Nebraska into Oregon State under Riley.

[@jimbobjicckup5994]

I’m surprised they didn’t blame it on racism

[@JB-uv4hm]

Rice. 😂 that’s what a HS arm gets you.

[@johnsimon4263]

Tom Osborne coached in the Big 8. He coached one year in the Big 12. For the most part outside of Oklahoma the Big 8 wasnt very good. The formula was soft non cons. Soft conference then usually lose to Oklahoma. Remember if they beat OU high level bowl game. If they won that then there was a vote for the champipnship. For Nebraska to be good they need to win. For them to win they need confidence building opponents. Nebraska should go to the Mountain West. Mountain West ... it for the Best!
