Actually from the performances I saw during our first 4 games I half expected Wisconsin to come in and win by a minimum of 20 points at home. Once the rose colored glasses are removed one will notice that this Husker team has some very serious problems. The Offense is marginally better then last year, but I think our main offensive problem lies with it's on field leader. The O line is looking better, Berkhead is good as usual, the receivers and tightends are hard to judge. Why? because you have to get them the ball accurately to judge their effectiveness. For the most part though they seem to be creating distance and open passing oppertunities.
Martinez is an amazing athlete that should be playing WR or DB not leading a team down the field at the QB position imho. He simply doesn't have the mental fortitude or skill set to be a QB despite his Athletic prowess. This being his second year "on the job" it's even more apparent then last year.
The defense: Well lets face it we lost too much tallent in our secondary, and our LB's with the exception of Lavonte David haven't been good since Solich was fired (Dr. Tom's recruits). Personally I've felt since our game with Fresno that our Dline was overated and was only receiving acolades based on previous performances the last few years.
This Wisconsin game just made all of these problems (and more not mentioned) very very apparent. So this game didn't hurt as much as it confirmed my doubts about this years team. We have some good young tallent though and I think we'll be a force to be recokened with in time, once we find a QB and move Martinez to WR/DB.
