The Dude Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I suspect a game like that against Alabama in the MNC game would garner a little different reaction than a game like that at home against Wyoming. This is true, and not the question. It's not the question, it's not even a question. It's a statement. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 If we give up 600 yards to every team we play, I don't think we would win every game. Hey, well, we are getting better by limiting the among of points in games where the other teams puts up about 600 yds (Wisconsin = 70, Georgia = 45, Wyoming = 34). Heck, we even pulled off a win during the last one. Things look promising in this hypothetical scenario. Really though, it would be an embrassing way to win, but I guess you got to take an undefeated season anyway you can get it. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 If we give up 600 yards to every team we play, I don't think we would win every game. Unless we get 700 of O every game. Yeah, not going to happen. Obvious sarcasm not obvious? No, it was obvious. Just making a statement, nothing against what you said. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The defense will be MUCH better this year. Mark my words. Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I am thrilled to be undefeated, but I would spend way to much time complaining on this board Quote Link to comment
Goal-line Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 How do you react if literally every game is like Wyoming? Not nearly as badly as getting blown out by 50 points. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 i no longer react. i just am. True.. I am i Also, like it was stated above. Style points went out the door for me about 2-3 years ago. Just win and the rest takes care of itself. Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Reading everyone's reaction has been interesting to say the least. My question to you all is this. What if every game is like Wyoming? We have a back and forth contest, give up ~600 yards and squeek out a win. This means we go undefeated, but in possibly the ugliest way possible. How would you react? Edit: good lord you guys suck at reading. I realize that odds are we wouldn't win every game if we give up 600 yards. I realize there's a difference between Wyoming and Alabama. I also realize that good teams typically don't give up 600 yards ever. I asked a question about how would you react if everything played out the same in every game. I guess you react by hanging in there and cheering for the team until the game ends. I'm not sure why people set incredibly high standards for the team and then spend the entire season complaining except maybe that's what they really like and not the team? It would take all the fun out of it for me if I cried the whole season. Quote Link to comment

Because the post game insanity from those that seemingly appear from thin air, that only post when there's an almost loss or a loss, is pure entertainment... Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Maybe someday I'll get to the point that all that matters is the W when it's over but I doubt it. Since rhe OP proposed a ludicrous question, I'll answer with my own hypotheticals. Situation #1- Nebraska plays lights out ball on both sides but loses by 7 to a superior opponent. I am sad we lost but overjoyed we played well. No melt down imminent. Situation #2- Nebraska plays like they don't know what a football is with numerous mistakes and penalties but we beat an inferior opponent by 21 and get the win. I'm in three mile island mode for at least 3 days and possibly longer if we played extremely pathetic. Sorry, I like to win as much as the next guy but performance and execution (some call it style points) are more important than hollow wins. Quote Link to comment

CaptainAdolf Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I would take being undefeated any day but I'm getting sick of the 600+ yard games for the opposing offenses. 1,800 yards allowed in the last in the last three games. Chew on that... Quote Link to comment
