Thats precisely why you are not the best in the conference, you DO turn the ball over and you DO take bad penalties while lacking team depth to overcome injuries. There is no if we can fix it as it was not fixed at game time.
This reminds of English fans when their national soccer team looses. We should have won that! If Rooney just didn't hit that post! If that corner kick was just a couple inches closer! If the team played more as a team! We are the best if not for that! We are better then them if not for that!
Reality however is, Rooney did hit the post, the corner was off, the team didn't play well as a team.
It's not that you would have won without those shortcomings, it's that you lost because of those shortcomings.
Now I'm not hating on Nebraska, a fan here, but it is what it is and these issues that have been around for a few years now need to be addressed rather then glossed over.
