They are starting to believe in themselves. 

We are seeing the team being 'born again' before our very eyes - lets see it continue and take hold

 

OK the O saw the D play the best half of defense last week since maybe 2009.  They decided to finally contribute and  we've just seen the best half of offense in many years.

This game is all the proof that Frost needs to give Greg Austin the boot and put Dawson on hot seat that he is next since his work with ST sucks the big one. If Frost knew how to fix OL, why did he wait till now to interfere? Frost needs to demand more from his coaches. Look at what Chinander is doing with the defense. Put up or get the hell out of Lincoln. IMHO Greg Austin and Dawson need to go immediately. They are as useful as buttons on a t-shirt.

We might need to temper our celebration. Apparently Duke put up even more yards in a half than we just did. NW is just bad.

Amazing half! GBR

I think Dawson is doing ok wt the LB - just get him away from the ST.   Need Full Time ST guy

No penalties, no turnovers, OL playing great... this is what we're capable of.

We are going to need Yant down the road. We need to keep him involved. If we do not, he will enter the transfer portal. He is good and he has a great potential. He is stronger than Rahmir and can get us some tough yards when we need them.

We'll find out more next week against Michigan, but I'm still gonna enjoy the heck outta this.

Yant channeled his inner Dan Alexander

 

Funny you said Dan Alexander, he was a specimen.  With that being said, I had season tickets back then, and remember watching him literally try to run over a defender that was already on the ground, then falling on the ground.  If he would of had any lateral capabilities, he would have been in the NFL.

Have we punted? Asking for a friend

Maybe they will believe that themselves now.  NW is well coached and they normally have quality players.  This isn't a FCS program or a poor P5 program.  So this is meaningful seeing Neb play like this

Exactly, those that saw that had us winning by a wide margin, even with our normal mistakes.

Thank God we have not had to. Frost went for it at 4 and 12 which shows you how much he trusts his punter.
