Commentary |
• Neeley: “It was painful to watch NU get beat in all phases of the game in that first half.” • Sipple: “Nebraska's offense was too often feast or famine. It's a style that can wear out NU's defense.” • Shatel: “The Huskers are 2-0. But who are they? Where are they going?” • Stryker: “On a positive note, youth stepped forward and took some responsibility for the Huskers.” |
• Bishop: “Disciplined defenses are not going to simply allow the big play to happen once every seven snaps.” • Severe: “The fourth or fifth best team in the WAC at times dominated both sides of the line play.” • Husker Mike: “It's not a win that gives you a lot of confidence that this team is ready to compete in the Big Ten.” |
• Chatelain: “The Huskers got beat at the line of scrimmage. On both sides of the ball.” • Purvis: “Does the team have what it takes to … stand up to the physical rush attacks we’re about to see?” • Zatechka: “The lack of an identity on offense affects more than just, well, the offense.” • Feit: “This team is capable of facing adversity … yet still finds a way to win.” |
