Hard to tell getting blown out yet again. I'll hope to see the improvement against lesser competition that will hopefully result in wins.

Because know the Huskers have a true chance to win now that Utah doesn't have they're coach.

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!

I would say it gives Nebraska a BETTER chance for a bowl win… I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it gives Nebraska a GOOD chance for a bowl win. 🙄

The Utes could have Ernest P. Worrell coaching them and they'd still throttle us.

His replacement has been around the program since he played there under Whittingham. The transition will be smooth.

I think the only altered mindset might be the Utes will be angry and looking to show Whittingham they are as good without him as they were under him

Liked what I saw.
ReplyDidn't get man handled like last year. S&C is finally paying dividends. We still need to clean up things in the area of penalties and execution.
ReplyTeam looked bigger. Offensive line seems stronger. A few playmakers on both sides. Not real crazy about playing so soft in defensive backfield but guess they did not want to get beat deep. Hopeful!
ReplyEffort - they played hard till the end, which they haven't always done the last two years.
ReplyWe saw for the first time in years our players showing they can play with anybody. We need some running backs, but then we are good to go.
ReplyProgress was there in terms of tackling, O/D line play, good offense decision making, and overall depth. No progress in turnovers and bad penalties and being our own worst enemy.
ReplyI see hope. Let's add consistency to hope and we should turn some heads this year. We need to stop the mental errors (time mgmt, fumbles, penalties). There is no margin of error. Fix these =Progress
ReplyEven the announcers who normally hate us saw progress. Nebraska won the trenches half of the time, offense got north and south quick, linebacker play was solid finally. This team is much improved
ReplyCould have been 38-31. Should have been 45-31. But was 52-17. For every 10 good snaps there's always one drive killer. Glad that the offense went North to south and limited the sideline play. GBR
ReplyIt's all about the big uglies in the trenches, and they have vastly improved.
ReplyProgress is there but quite honestly the celebrating of moral victories against upper echelon teams is getting a bit tired. 52 -17 is 52-17. Its a thrashing.
