What did we learn? Mich St version

[Red Five]

We all wanted to think this is a new team.

 

But Nebraska is still the same Nebraska we’ve seen for 10 years

[knapplc]

We're still a work in progress. There will be steps back for every step forward.

 

We need to win one of our next three to go to a bowl. Still possible.

[Red Five]

MSU had lost 6 in a row. Coach had been fired.  Little home field advantage.

Nebraska had won 3 in a row. Playing for a division title. Playing for a bowl birth.

 

And we turn in a performance like that…

[RedDenver]

At least there's still something to play for down the stretch unlike most of the last decade.

[Micheal]

-Not so much learned but reminded that the offense is still bad. 

 

-Defense doesn't have the consistency yet to take over games. 

 

-We need to win one more game and it isn't going to be easy.

We are still a challenged team on both sides of the ball.  I think our defense has been exploited some now.  I am interested to see how this staff and team respond going forward.  Has this staff got the mentality of this team changed?

I think we have found out for sure that we have got to get a better QB and more weapons.  But with saying that, if we don't have a better Line, those things won't matter either.

Bro. Give it a little time. The culture / mentality is most definitely changing. Doesn’t mean that old tendencies are just going to disappear.

I think this staff has done some good stuff, but I also think we can't get a new roster here soon enough.  Frost players are just not winning material.  Too many years of bad football, can not be replaced in one season.

team might be in for another physical sunday practice.

HH is worse than sims and it’s not close 

[Cobra Kai]

I learned that some nebraska fans get surprised easily. 

 

This is the same team that played minnesota...and the same team that won 5 of 6.

 

They're winning in spite of themselves...and gave themselves chances to win in games they had no business winning. 

 

It may feel the same, but it's different than years past.

This. I feel a lot more confident about Coach Rhule getting things turned around purely from the mentality part of the team. He had a rough team right now. It is going to take time. We have seen glimpses of the final product but still a bit murkey.

Wisc already lost…imagine if Minny and Iowa lose today as well lol. 

[FrankWheeler]

They took advantage of our defense being aggressive in the secondary, great play calling on their part.
 

Our offense still puts the defense in bad positions due to an inability to move the ball at all.  This loss is on an offense that for some reason is insisting on trying to throw the ball 40 times with a QB and line not built for that type of offense.  

[Wistrom Disciple]

Open competition at QB this week. Both starters have been prone to turnovers, team needs to see that the coaches will roll with whoever can make plays and be willing to switch if necessary. Disservice to the team to not make a switch for at least one series with a stagnant offense.
