Re: Barney Ball

Well Marty Fine didnt help matter much.

Yes Nebraska may have more talent than ISU, and did have 10 years ago but the gap between the 2 isnt very big, just look at how close the past 5 games have been. Cottons O line was never very deep at ISU and part of that is due to the fact he didnt build depth. The oline fundamentals technique and were bad under Cotton.

For 2 years he had a upperclass, experenced line that averaged over 300 lbs and they allowed 40 some sacks 2 years in a row and didnt have a running game. Last season ISU had a young, underclassman not much experence line and they cut the sack total in half and made progress on the running game.

Re: Barney Ball

BC should be a bigger success in Lincoln. he will be indirectly aided with a better defense if Bo/Carl have anything to say. Yet I do not see any stars other than marlon Lucky mentioned in the Big 12 selections. It will be a growth process, much like EIU.

EIU is the other Okoboji University for serious students and home of Captain Kirk who pilots the Enterprise on its Trek through the Universe for finding his next great job. Captain, beware of your Superbowl.

No matter what offense he was forced to run the line should be able to pass block and open holes for a RB. Yes Hicks didnt help matter any but when a hole is open for a split second and then it is stacked up you have oline problems.

WOW! Talk about throwing crap out there with no idea of what you are talking about.

Barney had little to do with taking the rushing the Clones used to do out. The last 1,000 yard rusher was Hicks in 2004 - he squeaked in at 1,062 yards - Barney's first year.

Prior to that the last 1k rusher was Ennis in 2000 and 2001 with 1,237 and 1,169 respectively.

From 2001 to 2004 the rushing by the team really slid. It was not Barney's doing before he got here, it was Marty Fine.

Loney leaving after the 01 season left ISU with some pretty good talent and some guys who could play, Fine managed to slowly screw that up.
