Sad that I'll probably never see my Nebraska Cornhuskers on this quiz any time soon. If you don't recruit, you won't compete. Once Tom Osborne retired, recruiting slipped badly under Frank Solich and the football program has steadily declined ever since. The over-romanticization(?) of the "walk-on program" was so misguided. If your recruiting isn't at an average level of 3.5-star or higher, you're gonna be a perpetual also-ran. Which is exactly what NU has become.

I honestly just want to be back in top 25 contention, a bowl game this upcoming season with Rhule in his second year would be great.
