I will say the Huskers looked better in the 2 minute offense than many teams I have seen this season. For that I give them credit - now they just need to learn how to play the other 58 minutes....

I want someone to ask Riley at thee presser why he went for it twice early in the game in our own territory on 4th down with the lead when we couldn't gain 1 yard on the ground.

He needs to answer that question.

It was almost the difference in the game.

I agree, the 1st call I understand. But the second I was like what the fuck. If he punted at that point we switch the field

What I liked


Lee, no interceptions and a lights out 4th quarter and a stellar final game winning drive. More please.

Bradley, get him to the edge. Imagine him with an option offense. Either the o line cannot run block, or else Bradley cannot run between the tackles. I will lean towards the O line sucking. Fire Cavanaugh.

Morgan is Morgan. Stanley Morgan is just like Morgan Stanley, money pretty much.

Spielman is a special player. He will be a force next year as long as we have an offensive genius calling plays.

Drew Brown is good. His leg has gotten so much stronger as he has matured at Nebraska.

Hoppes is surprising me.

What I don't like

Why can't Nebraska try to put up blocking for a punt return? Demornay is an unexploited weapon at punt returning.

As usual, no pass pressure. Could not contain a running Blough who killed Nebraska in 2015. Could not pressure him either.

Pass Defense. OMG, if Purdue did not drop balls or get overthrown, Nebraska would have been down 21 points easily.

Marcus Newby made plays at linebacker although he stinks in pass defense. Did any other linebacker make a play?

So, the D line is not a factor, the linebackers are not a factor, and the D backs are not a factor. Ick.

The running game. 40 yards. Seriously? 8 yards in the first half? Seriously? Cavanaugh needs to be fired. Purdue's rush defense is now rated 53.

Rush Defenses coming up
17. Northwestern
36. Minnesota
28. Penn State
46. Iowa
53. Purdue

Thank god three of the pass defenses are not very good. Barrett even lit up Penn State.
