It seemed like they played all four quarters on both sides of the ball.

Bull Elk

Winning at home is critical and for the "nah sayers" would you prefer a loss? Best thing at last Sat was Air Force beating CU in OT.

Paul F Edwards

for the first time in a LONG TIME, it felt like an old Husker game where nearly everything went right. We were so far ahead we got to let a lot of 2nd and 3rd stringers get experience.

Daniel Kruger

They played aggressive football for 4 quarters. Their win is tempered a bit by the inferior opponent.

Caleb Anderson

I believe frost. He said they did, so they did

Scott Reed Schaefer

They took a stride in the right direction, but still need to grow in becoming more consistent in the offense. The offense was too much feast or famine. The defense definitely improved from last week.

Did you watch the first half? We've got to improve our consistency in a hurry if we want to stay in the game next week.

Randy Wolf

They should have beaten colorado.

John Gardner

Definitely a step in the right direction, but the offensive line still isn't able to clear the lanes in the middle and the kicking game is a unmitigated disaster. What wrong with Pickering, anyway?

Freddie Fredder

Underperforming. We suck. Should have had a top 10 offense and top 45 defense. Adrian Martinez is a psychological shell of what he was as a frosh. Do we have a deep threat ? Tight ends ? P

Drew Baggiani

The corner that needs rounded is Wisconsin

John R Gallu

Offense is still a little disjointed. Martinez will get there. I thought Vedral was very fluid though!

John Fillmore

I wasn't quite as optimistic as some during the preseason; I knew there was still a lot of work to do. One of my big concerns was with the inside running game. It's not there yet.

Michael Gormley

Let’s see some tougher Competition before we say we have turned a corner.

Richard Johnson

A better effort against an inferior opponent shows little

Stanley Steele

With the exception of that drive all other scores were on explosive plays. Also Martinez was under pressure most of tje night

Mark Tucker

I need to see more. I still feel that the Offense struggled to maintain consistency.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
