That is a game that Nebraska 1000% finds a way to lose in past seasons. That is growth. It was ugly but that's a type of game Nebraska hasn't won in seemingly forever.

Something I noticed is that on the 2 huge plays we gave up, our defensive players ran them down, caught up and pulled them down instead of giving up the touchdown. Speed and determination. Then both of those times we held them the next 3 downs and they settled for field goals. That’s one of the huge differences in these close games

Tyus is also the slowest RB I have ever seen

this defense is doing exactly what I thought it would do (and posted as much) this year

we don't play anyone deserving of an ounce of respect, so bring the heat

it works

I’ll say this. I didn’t pucker up when NW had the ball at the end. Full confidence the D was going to get a stop. Haven’t had that feeling in a loooooong time.

Defense generally looks good, but we’ve got to force more turnovers really zero turnovers against NW if you discount that Hail Mary right before halftime. For the remainder of the season, not only do they need more turnovers, but they’ve got to get them into the end zone with picks sixes or Scoop & scores. We can’t count on this offense to score even from the 5 yard line.

His JUCO stats were pretty good. He’s a guy who will probably need to go on scholarship to keep him.
I'm sure Rhule will be happy to put him on scholarship if he continues at this pace. This is what the walk-on program is supposed to be. Earning a chance to contribute on a good unit. Too often we have played walk-ons due to recruiting failures.

We were worried about depth on the Dline before the season. Our worries were completely unnecessary.
