Yeah, but if you look at when they got their yards, it looks pretty ordinary. They got 400 some yards against Oklahoma, but they didn't do anything at all offensively until they were down 35-0. Getting yards when your down 35-0 isn't much of an accomplishment, any more than piling on yards against the three creampuffs they have on their OOC every year means the order is restored. They played a Clemson team that wasn't very good, and had no offense at all, and they struggled against them too.
And yeah, I realize our offense was terrible. The point is, if Shawn Watson were the coordinator of any other school, and had the same resume, Nebraska fans wouldn't have the faintest idea of who he is, let alone assume as a given that he is getting a hc gig any time soon. And the posts on that board prove that they don't have any idea what they're talking about even though he's their OC; some of those posts were saying things like "he's a proven groomer of top qb's" which is a complete fantasy. Around recruiting time, the same guys were touting Watson as a "groomer of NFL quarterbacks" as a recruiting edge with high school talent. WHAT? Not one qb ever coached by Shawn Watson has made a final NFL roster, ever. But that doesn't matter when you're a nebraska fan trying to convince yourself that the Great Leap Forward is just around the corner. But it will end in tears. And they will devour Watson and Pellini just as they devoured Solich and Callahan.
