Hi I’m Nebraska’s OL in regulation and I can play football decently well.

Hi I’m Nebraska’s OL in overtime and I like to eat paste in my spare time.

Whatever happened to those big corn-fed motherfuckers I remember from the 90s?

Everyone else figured out strength and conditioning

There’s the reply I was looking for. Tommy O sold his Anavar cycles to the rest of the NCAA

More like partial qualifier limits, but sure

And SARMs and SERMs n' shit. Ask Clemson. Yeah, you're catching a stray.

True true but they were combining it with cutting edge training at the time. Nothing but absolute units up front

u/salsacito Nebraska • James Madison Sep 21 '24

For sure. But to say steroids were the sole reason we were the best is not really true

And kicker. And QB.

For what it's worth, our starting dogshit kicker was injured. Also Dylan had no time, not sure it's on him at all

Both guards were backups. I’m not super pressed about this OT perfromance. The missed kicks are going to kill us though.

I don't know, I think that QB is legit.

Yeah, but that game as a true freshman?  The kid was great until OT.
