I have nothing against holding Nebraska football to high standards- Nebraska fans deserve results given the huge amount they invest in the program.
The most impressive stat to me about Pelini's tenure so far: the number of blowout losses in recent years.
Here are some of our last losses:
2010 Washington: 19 - 7 (12 points)
2010 #9 Oklahoma: 23 - 20 (3 points)
2010 #19 TAMU: 9 - 6 (3 points)
2010 *****: 20 - 13 (7 points)
2009: #3 *****: 13-12 (1 point)
2009: TTU: 31-10 (21 points)
Other than the Holiday Bowl last year against Washington, which doesn't qualify as a blowout in my mind, the last blowout loss we have had was October 17, 2009, almost 2 years ago.
The offense can be hard to watch at time, but I for one am thankful that it has almost been 2 years since I have seen Nebraska get blown out. Don't forget 2007 or even 2008 when Nebraska played games that were over after the 1st quarter.
