They torched us in the passing game even though Jackson played really well and Bootle was solid. Stopped the run. Corners played pretty well. Still give up 400 passing yards. Dang.

That's what's so crazy. In all honesty, a great game by LJax. And we still got torched through the air. 3 comments I saw earlier tonight: PJ Fleck said not sleeping on NU at all. Could easily be sitting at 5-1 or 4-2......Rewinding the games in my head. He's pretty accurate. NU has at least 480 yards of offense in each of the last 3 games. The last time was 2007. Ouch! Per Rosenthal, only 2 QB's are averaging at least 225 passing yards and 50 rushing yrds per game. Kyler Murray of OU is one. The other? Our own AMartinez! Again, ouch! If the defense were to just be average.........With THIS CURRENT offense, we would be hard to beat....Imagine another year in recruiting and scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment

The hype would be off the charts. Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The offense needs to be consistent with drives and take care of the football. When they are on, they're really good. But when they lose focus and start making penalties and turnovers, it kills us. It's been killing us. Goes for both sides of the ball. 2 Quote Link to comment

I complain about scheme (tweaks/better play calling), but looking at everything to date, we are sooooo close. Not saying winning the west or the conference, but very close to getting things turned around. I still think 3-5 years to be at the level we want to be. (IMHO competing for the West on a regular basis/playing for the B1G) 1 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Those saying 'if only the defense were better with this offense' must be forgetting the first half against Wisconsin and really most of the season. Our offense needs to be better early and stay consistent. Sometimes they hurt us when the defense is actually doing enough Quote Link to comment

Other than that game, we are nearly a Top 10 offense in the country. Quote Link to comment

Don't get me wrong, offense has been great but they sputter at bad times. Just my opinion @Moiraine really nailed it down. Quote Link to comment
