What did we learn - Maryland

I learned that nearly all of us give up too soon on the team and begin bad mouthing them following mistakes. Bad habit from so many years of disappointments.

True but hard not to do. When the game was getting away from us muscle memory says “oh here we go again”. Glad we’re clearly turning the tide. Skers of recent past would be 0-2 in the last 2 weeks.
 
Nothing learned. As others have mentioned, this is a VERY far from perfect team. Deficiencies have been obvious since game 1, slightly obscured by the wins against the JV teams in the weeks 2 and 3, but brutal too often. HOWEVER, this team is playing/competing FAR better than we've seen the last 10 years. You take the crap wins just as fast as the good ones.

Extra point, there have been guys on the sideline making a good chunk of change to hold the title of Special Teams Coach the last couple of years and they should repay every dime they got from NU. In six games Ekler has out performed them all combined and he takes dumps more productive than anything they "coached"

Not to mention being bowl eligible to boot

Ehhh, bowl game is not really a big deal in my book except for the fact that it is another game to watch. Playoffs are what everyone wants.

I also think that Minny game might be a home game for NU. I bet that stadium will have close to 50% Husker fans.
 
EJ played great.
Mozee is solid and should only improve.
Special teams is much improved. WR play too.
Raiola is feast or famine. He is a player that can overcome mistakes but it puts too much pressure on a shaky defense and if you play with fire you will eventually get burned. He would be elite if he can clean up the sloppy plays.

Our lines keep us out of being a top 20 team. The OL is average across college football and so is the DL. We still have no difference makers as edge rushers.
McCullough and Shavers can flash on defense but we need more studs on defense.

Uh ok. Pretty sure being bowl eligible 7 games in the season is a pretty good metric that illustrates we’re improving.
