Commentary |
Stryker: There was plenty about the offense that did not go as advertised.
Neeley: Nebraskas offense still doesnt have a lot to hang its hat on.
Bishop: I just dont know if this is the style of offense Martinez is best suited to run.
|
Sipple: Running the option requires finesse and a certain feel. Can Martinez develop it?
Jarecke: Were you expecting more than vanilla this week?
Shatel: It's the first year of a new scheme. Beck is a rookie calling plays. You do the math.
|
Severe: If there was an MVP of the game it might be Brett Maher.
Husker Mike: The new offense was stymied by a rather ineffective performance by the offensive line.
Calvin Jones: Stafford made some big hits and made me bring my roster out of my pocket to see who he was.
