Disappointment, yes, but again there are reasons for it.
3rd String QB, unproven, untested. Learning the ropes. 2nd String injured before the season. Cody, a baby in every sense of college football. Too grand of expectations placed on him.
Helu getting hurt, Castille, screwing up, Burkhead injured.
When you lose your skill players on offense you have real trouble. Just one normally causes losses. We have had way more than our fair share.
I thought 8-4 maybe 9-3 this year, and with the injuries and problems we have had the 8-4 is still possible.
Would I have predicted those numbers if I had known how the injuries would be. NO.
So even though they have not played like we want them to. They still have a chance to be sucessful this year.
I have always said we are another two years away from having what Bo is looking for. Not so much the players but the attitude of winning, work ethic he recruits and demands.
Sad about how things have gone, disappointed for the kids, but not in the kids.
I appreciate your post, but how do you explain losing to a really bad ISU team made worse with their starting QB and RB not playing? Losing to ISU, under these and any circumstance is a joke.
The same is said for TT. They were, all across the board, less experienced than NU yet they came to Lincoln and won a game they never should have been in. They lost a great starting QB and first round receiver. They were playing their 2nd string QB at that.
This team is not an NU team. Sure they are wearing NU uniforms, but are not playing NU-like Football. Until they start, being disappointed in the players is more accurate than being disappointed for them.
Even though I am not wrong, I wish I were. If I am wrong, we'll see it this this weekend and through out the rest of the year.
