I've been a Husker Fan for longer than most of you have been alive... Here is when we have a problem.

1. When you think Screech is the cute lookin' one on "Saved By The Bell."

2. When you think its bad that Harrison Beck transfered.

3. When you can't find a motel room in Lincole on a game SatNite.

These are real problems...

1. When TO retires and you end up with Bill Calahan.

2. When Boyd Eply doesn't run the weight room.

3. When T_O_B says its time to worry.

We won today and it wasn't prety... WE WON...

I think we actually stole one...we didn't deserve to win this one. I hate saying that, too.

But your point is well taken...we as fans can hope to look on the light side, the players better have a different reality. I hope Bo lights a fire under A) the seniors for not showing more leadership, B) the rest of the team for showing up with apparent hangovers from last night. The intensity shown today probably makes Bo wonder why he bothered coming back.

We didn't steal one...we deserved this win. People stepped up and made big plays at the right time. We looked good in the 4th after Paul's TD return. It wasn't pretty, but we still deserved it.

 
well ya know what you say is true we did win but it wasnt the greatest and i didnt see a game that i expected to see i hope by the time that we play next weekend we come out and play with less mistakes and more agression

 
Im a pretty realistic person when it comes to all of this....and a win is a win

The past few years we have had issues with getting those...ill take one anyway. Do we have improving to do? absolutely...are we headed in the right direction? I think so...theres a lot of bad habits this staff has to break.

I think they deserved this too. Why not? Because it wasn't 60 minutes of total domination? Those days are over. People stepped up and made plays. In no way did we steal this win. You have to play until the game is over and the Huskers did exactly that. The team showed heart, and our offense sputtered at times, yet we won by 3+ scores. Turner went down early as well and the team responded. That shows teamwork. Somehow a team running the spread offense, seemingly unstoppable at times was held to 12 points. Not at all what would have happened last year.

 
How did we steal this victory????

The "D" shut SJSU down drive after drive. They capitalized on one field goal on a short field.

The "O" stunk it up but was able to capitalize on a couple of drives late in the game.

If you think the sky is falling, you should have been around for the loss in 84 when we got beat at home against some team called Florida State.

 
I'd rather see us do bad in first half then dominate in second half, unlike last year where it was complete opposite. Means we're in better shape and we're being coached a hell of a lot better.

Good point...Ball State would still be scoring right now if this was last year :hmmph

 
Well, unfortunatly I wasn't able to watch either game so far do to the fact that I'm in Iraq. I have been following closely though, so here's an opinion from afar.

Neg

1. I'm not surprised to see our O-line struggle, they were going to be a strength last season too.

2. The defense is extremely young, and the upper classmen still have bad habbits to break.

Pos

1. Defensive adjustments, they were made!

2. A spark on spiecial teams! Can't remamber the last time that got us going.

All in all, about what I expected. I was hoping for a little more improvement between week 1 & 2 but the offense had an off day and hung in there to pull it out! It's easy to start feeling sorry for yourself when it's not going your way. Our kids didn't let that happen, that shows heart, their gonna need it later this season for sure. Give em a chance guys they're gonna come around, I can feel it!

No kidding. I was 12 at the time. I remember all of my family members saying the earth quit spinning because we lost to then-nobodies Florida State. Funny how things turn out.
