Improvement

This is just an observation but aside from the present concern for the program and the long term effects of the season ahead I have been bothered by one thing more than any since BC arrived.

I have been accustom to the Osborne teams and even the Solich years where the team came out in the first game of the year and really didn't look that good but generally good enough to win. I always acredited it to getting the timing down between QB, RB's and even recievers. Game two was a little better but not much, game 3 generally more improvement and by game four they were playing pretty good but continued to improve throughout the year on both sides of the ball.

In the Callahan years thus far it always appears that what you see at the beginning of the year is what you get for the balance. I just dont' see great improvement between game one and game eleven as I do with most teams. It's bothered my for a while and I'm just not sure why.

 
A guy I work with once told me you can pretty much tell how the Huskers season is going to pan out based on the first game...maybe 2 games. If that's the case, then this years Nevada win was a fluke and the Wake Forest game was a more accurate assesment. In the past, the Huskers have typically played well in the first 2-3 games, save the 2004 season. But for whatever reason, they piss it all away once conference play starts. This year they pissed it away against Wake Forest then crapped it out against USC

Perhaps, then, you've forgotten the famous meltdowns of some of the Solich teams . . . do you happen to remember Colorado and the ensuing bowl game? Utter disasters.

 
Yes those were in fact meltdowns as you said however this is one team in one season. Simply leave out the Solich years or look at most programs in the top 20 at the end of the season and I believe you will see some teams that made large strides between game one and the bowl game.

 
If you were to use the first game as a measuring stick we should be killing everyone. I can't explain why its been a steady decline for every game.
