I posted this in the What We Learned Thread, but I think it bears repeating. For everyone who has a somewhat vested interest in the football program.
We lost. We got outplayed. That much can be said.
A loss is never easy, so let us not pretend that there aren't glaring issues with this football team, most of which lie on the defensive side of the ball. Never should 30 points and 400+ yards be in a losing effort. Never.
However, the season is only 2 games old. This is not the time to sulk, take our ball and go home.
This team is better than that. We can't let this game destroy us, because there are 10 other games to be played, some against more difficult teams than UCLA.
The loss should motivate them, to become better than what they showed, to be better than what they know. It should drive them, to practice harder, to work harder, to get smarter, to get stronger.
Only time will tell if they learned their lesson.
I wanted us to win, I thought we were going to win. UCLA proved me wrong, Nebraska proved me wrong.
I'm disappointed, but I'm not distraught. The amount of overreaction is expected. Like usual, it is unnecessary.
