The whole purpose of the tooic was to see how folks are feeling. Yea, hail mary loss sux, but our team fought back, didnt give up and showed signs of getting their stuff together. Proud of this team. Very proud. Besides, BYU is a bunch of 25-30 y/o anyway. Insert sarcasm.
We will be fine this year. We all complained about tackling over the years and how we were fundamentally unsound with Bo. We looked so much better yesterday in that category.
Look, its tough to swallow. But i feel so much better about this team than i have under Bo that i will take it. We will be fine. Offense line will get better. This staff makes adjustments.
I will forget about the 2nd quarter. Horrible. But thats football. Wonder how Coach Stong feels this morning.
GBR!

I'm not done with my Huskers. I'll never be, that's in my blood. But this defense, schematically isn't an upgrade (imo). Yes we need to stop the run in the B1G, but this wasn't a B1G opponent. In this day and age you need to be versitile. They had zero running game, but we didn't try to force them to run. We said you pass it, and we died by 380 cuts.
I hope I'm overreacting and will be so wrong, but it seems like before we died by the run, and now we're going to die by the pass. If not for an athlete making a play (Nate's pick) we never would have been back in it.
Don't confuse this with the wanting Bo back crowd. I'm glad he's gone, he was a cancer, but better choices likely could have been made by Riley.

This is the same fan base that wanted Frankie London to start over Frost. Same fan base that almost drove Dr. Tom to take the Colorado job, while he was winning 9+ games a year and finishing in the top 15 annually.
Let that sink in for a moment and get back to me.
Classiest, probably.
Best and smartest.....................

This loss is just what the doctor ordered. This is still a division champion caliber team and that tough playing despite all of the obstacles of yesterday proved it.

This. Exactly. But, we have known this for a long time. Hard to be front-running when we don't win, though.

Yep, done. Just like Ohio State was done last year after losing their first game of the season to a good team.

BYU was one of the games I was unsure about, season opener and with a new coach, not to mention BYU is a better team than folks want to give them credit for. I felt BYU would be a close game, and whoever scored last would win. Though i never would have thought a last second TD would be that last score. So I give credit where it is due, to BYU for the win.
I do think that Nebraska drops at least 4 or 5 more this season. With losses to Miami, Wisconsin, Michigan St. Minnesota, and possibly Iowa. I say possibly Iowa because just like the BYU game, it will be close and whoever scores last will win. Let's just hope if there is a last second TD, it goes for the Huskers.

Some don't seem to grasp this concept. People saying the football program is done after 1 game is actually comical to some degree

We will be fine. This would have been a wisky style woodshed if a change wasn't made.
Looking forward to getting back two defensive starters.
And that DPE guy. He's kinda good.

Day after a loss is always interesting.
I was worried at the end of the 2nd quarter. After Brown's (first) missed fg, I didn't feel a comeback. I didn't feel like they could do it. But they did it. Despite the fact that there are issues, the fact that a comeback occurred on the first game of a first year in all new schemes against a team that definitely isn't a pushover. That's BIG. It sounds to me like Mike Riley might have never had a team capable of a comeback the way that we came back. Which is why he might have sounded so optimistic. (I don't know if that's a true statement or not, don't know is OSU made comebacks or not).
