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

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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

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.

In the Big 10 if you can't run the ball you will not win very often.

A successful run game opens all sorts of opportunities. If you can't win the battle up front, no amount of scheming is going to help.

What I think is there should be a third choice here... get someone in there that can snap the ball. Everything is out of kilter if the snap is not proper. The whole play's timing is off.

If the running game does not improve, there is evidence that the offensive line is not getting their job done.

South Alabama had 44 carries for 83 yards. They did NOT "run it down our throats"--but I digress. WE need to be able to run the ball in order to stay out of 2nd and 3rd and long situations.

When Maurice Washington entered the game things picked up. JD was invisible on offense. AM must present a passing threat for the run to succeed.

It’s South Alabama... We should see a marked improvement on both sides of the ball. May not be where we want to be yet, but it should be a great tune-up game for Colorado.

I am NOT voting on this side thinking the Huskers aren't there yet. I think they are. Frost & Co. will show future opponents the blandest of plays that will let us win this one. #BackupsAfter2
