What did we learn???

I learned that my general ability to maintain a logical viewpoint is rendered completely useless under the histrionic nature of my emotions for the three 1/2 to four hour period when Nebraska football is taking place.

I was Lifetime Movie Channel depressed for a heavy spell.

I was more cynical than a chain smoking KGB operative during the dying days of the Soviet Union.

I was as hopeful as a farmer standing on a dry field of waning crops gazing up at a deeply darkening sky.

I was as elated as a man who has been confined to a raft for days at sea suddenly realizing the helicopter is getting closer, and closer...

I learned to never lose the faith. What a night. What a win. GBR!!!!!!!!

lol!!

Great post!!
You just described my night perfectly! thanks for the post.

 
Our Defensive playmakers are David, Dennard, and now Jean-Baptiste. Always ground-n-pound Rex. Short high % completion passes work best for TMart.

 
What I learned:

This team is baffling.

Crick and Meredith are very over rated.

We need 2 different line backers. We have one awesome one- I didn't learn this last night but it was again obvious last night.

When we go good vs good at practice, the Oline and Dline aren't really that good vs good.

The coaches obviously spent much of the week teaching Martinez to check down to Rex. In general I thought his pocket presence was better.

SJB welcome to the line up

You could win a lot of games w 22 Rex Burkheads.

Martinez won't be our QB all year cause he is gonna get a concussion at some point.

I don't feel like I learned much of anything about Tmart. He still makes some of the worst decisions I have ever seen. They are followed with awesome.

 


Seem to remember OU using this diamond business in the CCG last year. Do want more of this!

 
Lavonte David is the best LB'er in the country. Stanley Jean-Baptiste needs to be on the field. Martinez may "shock the world" after all. Burkhead is everything we all think he is and then some. Great things that guy does on and off the field.

 
Did anybody else notice the 3-4 being run in the first quarter? I was liking it but those holes for the QB to scramble were still there.
I noticed that too. I think it was another example of the d coaching out-coaching itself. When they went back to base the entire second half and basically went hat on hat and manned up they did much better, yes, with Miller in the game as well. Sometimes I think Pelini has all these ideas from the big12 spread days that players are sometimes taken out of postition trying to defend something that simply is not there.

 
relearned that while rex may not be the fastest, strongest, or best running back to play at nebraska he will go down as one of the most

beloved huskers of alltime for being the player and person he is.

 
Tarylor Martinez is not as bad a QB as I thought (I'll have some crow now thanks)

Beck is not as bad as I thought

This team has the heart of a winner

Burkhead and David are...well, Burkhead and David, the two best players on the team.

This team looked like the same team that lost to Wisconsin in the first half and in the second half (after David picked Miller's pockets), looked like a championship caliber team. Taylor Martinez looked like a completely different QB in this game, he looked comfortable running the offense and throwing the football. His mechanics still need a lot of work but compared to last week, was like night and day. And did you notice he was going through his progressions! Unbelieve turnaround for this team and could be the game that leads this team to the Big Ten championship game.
