We're soft because only 2 seasons removed from a "soft" conference. We're 10-3 in our second year in a new conference against a bunch of new opponents and played for a championship. But yes, I agree, we are a bit soft yet.

Ok, yeah. That's actually a really good example. That game and this game are, in my opinion, the worst losses in the history of the program. At least that I can think of right now.
This could have been a huge turning point in the direction of our program. And it probably will be, just not in the direction we wanted.

This is the relevance of recency talking. Just because we hurt now doesn't mean this loss is any bellwether of the program, just like the Texas loss in 2009 and the Oklahoma loss in 2010 weren't.

- If you really are as good as your last game, then we are not good. Not remotely good.
- Wisconsin are classless pieces of trash. I'm embarrassed to have spent 50% of my life in that state. A Nebraska man made that program but they will never admit it.
- Frankly, 10 wins means nothing. The goal was to get to this game and win it. They failed. Spectacularly failed.
- This team needs a psychologist more than it needs anything. They are head cases. All of them. Especially the quarterback.
- A staff change must be made, no matter how small or insignificant. This is a program-defining loss. At the very least, Papuchis should be canned tomorrow. Bo should be kept but he needs to be told he's on a very short leash.

How did you feel after that loss? I guarantee that was worse for Husker nation than this.

I mean let's be honest here... look at Notre Dame and where they are in comparison to the Huskers and then look at the Head Coaches and their length of time on the job!? Now you tell me wth we are where we are at this point and they are no.1 and playing for a NC at this point?

Assistant Coach
Els has done great work as a RC, and I don't think he is that bad as a LBs coach. Our big issues on D are talent, and especially DL talent. To a lesser extent the LBs because after losing David, we only have Compton back there right now, but we have a good, young group of guys coming up the ranks (and Zaire Anderson returning).
Also, a lot of it is about scheme and defensive coaching (Bo) when we can't get our guys in position. We have a very aggressive D, but it got beat up tonight. Wisconsin OL dominated and they really hit us bad with counters and misdirections, taking advantage of our aggressiveness.
The DL has been a mess for some time and that really needs fixing. Is Kaz the guy? I dont' know.
Disagree. That game was more heartbreaking, but even today it's one of the greatest sources of pride for Nebraska fans. 30 years from now, fans are going to want to remove this game from the records like a wrinkly tattoo that your friend-nemesis tricked you into getting after slipping you some roofies.
