The second most yards ever in school history doesn't throw some giant red flags to you? The only worse amount was run up in the Wilkinson era at OU when they went 47 strait. And technically had UCLA not taken knees to end the game, it would have been the most ever. EVER. Worse than Cosgrove.
Red flags? Absolutely. We have a terrible DL and laughably slow and unathletic LBs. And even with that albatross we still only lost by six. And don't get me started on the missed tackles. Those missed tackles were the worst. So yes we have some very serious issues especially on defense. But I'm not willing to conceed the season just yet. Although I conceed that if we don't get our sh** together on defense we actually could be 7-5 at the end of the regular season. But we have 10 full regular season games left. I'm going to hope Bo can turn this ship around and square the D away.
No way in the world UCLA makes the Rose Bowl. Our team in improving, but not good. We won't even compete against Oregon and UCLA. Those boys aren't going to give us 700 yards like Nebraska's pathetic excuse for a defense.
You are so right...no need to be a Chicken Little about the whole thing. Nebraska played very well on offense in the first half. Yes, the Nebraska defense did not seem to make the same half-time adjustments that the Bruins did, but no need to throw out the baby with the bathwater. And while statistically there was an edge to UCLA, the game was not finally decided until Nebraska's failed onside kick with just a minute or so left in the game.
"Nobody said they were going to be an easy (Nebrasksa) win." WHAT!!! Virtually everyone who posted on this site was confident of a Husker victory and by a LARGE margin. There were only 2 or 3 posts that I read that urged caution because of the unknowns about the Bruins. You can look it up.
Clean out your pipe bowl. It isn't gonna happen. After last night, I don't see NU in any bowl.
Our dline and lb's got owned by FRESHMAN. How does that not bother you? We have games like this every year where we meltdown, how does this not bother you? How come we always have games with mental errors, how does that not bother you? We almost gave up the most yards ever, how does that not bother you? We get ouplayed by lesser teams every year, how does that not bother you?
Exactly our point, this team GOT BEAT MY FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORES. How do you get outplayed by freshman and sophomores? If youre a good team, that would never happen.Do we? I thought they looked pretty good, considering they played mostly freshmen and sophomores. Just think what they will look like in a couple more years. For me, it remains to be seen how good UCLA will be by the end of the year.
This wasn't like Northwestern last year. We didn't come out flat, or look disinterested, and we certainly didn't look like we didn't want to win. What is probably more accurate is that we got outplayed by a better team last night. And they were 6-8 last year. Athletically, I didn't see a huge difference between the two teams.
