What we learned today...

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

1) Defense responded nicely

2) Offenses are going to have a tough time containing Gregory

3) Our running game is going to be one of the best in the conference.

and maybe the best group of wideouts...

[Ratt Mhule]

Gregory is indeed Thor as TWOS suggests

[clyde40]

No need to panic in week 1.

[whateveritis1224]

Outside of a couple of hiccups on offense and 1 hiccup on defense to start the second half, we played about as complete a football game that I can remember. Sure it was Southern Miss, but we played exactly how we should play.

 

The 4 ints were nice to see.

 

One stat we can forget about, consecutive games with 2 or more turnovers.

 

Somethings still need to be cleaned up, but it was a good performance.

[MLB 51]

Offense and Defense both looked better.

We still give up way to many easy yards.

RG44 is big improvement over what we've had the 3 years.

[Omaha-Husker]

Brando is the real deal.

SJB has shutdown corner written all over him.

TM has been underwhelming.

Newby is smooth.

Foltz continues the kicking tradition in Lincoln.

Ciante is opportunistic as hell.

Gregory is the best DE in Bo's tenure.

Nebraska can dominate.

[Husker_x]

No one should be too down because of week one, and no one should be too elated because of week two. If we go and hammer UCLA next week, time to start the Snoopy dances. Until then, cautious optimism. You can literally see the upgrade in speed and athleticism on D. The offense needs to protect those young guys against UCLA as much as possible, but they are forcing turnovers and playing better already in week two. Good stuff.

[beanman]

Santos is bad. The young LBs are going to be great.

 

No frickin' clue how we're going to look against UCLA. Have to take this game with a grain of salt given the competition.

 

Our paint on our field looks pink to me.

 

Our offense is loaded with weapons but I'm nervous about our offensive line once we start playing some solid competition. Hopefully they'll be better than I'm expecting.

 

The future looks bright on D. We SHOULD be very good in a couple years.

^ This. But even if we beat UCLA, allow a lot of yards, and show improvement on defense, it will be great. This d is young, it will take time to gel, so this is a game we need. After UCLA, we have some games after that against teams we should beat where the defense can continue to make strides. Beating UCLA is very important.

[Paul in WI]

Our backup QB's can step in if they have to without me going into cardiac arrest when they do.

[Count 'Bility]

Unfortunately, Santos may have been ruined mentally for a while being part of that mess a year ago.

 

I learned that unnecessary and illogical message board meltdowns can in fact provoke inspired performances.

Are you suggesting we implement Huskerboard Meltdown 7.0 this week to inspire the team against UCLA?

[husker_99]

I wouldn't get too worked up about this win, Southern Miss is a terrible team and it's hard to know if any improvements have been made when you play against a weaker opponent the next game. UCLA will be the game to see where we stand.

[NUance]

1) I learned that Papuchis looks much less ghey without those goofy tape thingys on his fingers.

 

2) As for the game, I can't tell whether we played *that* much better this week. I think SoMiss just sucks donkey dicks.

 

3) Beer, rye and gin are damn potent taken together as an alcoholic team. I'm drunk as furck.
