...if you did not see a difference in FIGHT and HEART, then you might not be pleasable...

were we stupid at times? Yes
Did we make some bone head play calls and penalties? YES
Will we be better in the long run?OH MY YES....
Agreed, it was obvious this team was going nowhere with Riley from day one. I can already tell we'll be just fine with Frost.

Yesterday was truly disappointing simply because we should have had that game. Hands down. 2 really silly turnovers right at the beginning, Martinez getting injured, some bad penalties and dropped balls, and our secondary not being able to stop that one gigantic receiver are what did us in.

Having said that, though, this looks like an entirely different team. Our defense was NASTY up front. Our RB's gashed Colorado bad. I actually loved seeing our players get chippy and mouth off to the Colorado guys when they would start ****. It's that kind of edge that we haven't had in years, and I can't wait to see what Year 2 brings. This is going to be a long season, and we may not even go bowling, but we're going to get better and better every week. This coaching staff knows whats up.

The encouraging thing is that we are a better team than CU, which says a lot about how far the team has come from last year. We beat ourselves last night.

With all those you mentioned, last years team would have got boat raced with the turnovers, penalties that occurred. However, it's not the fall that matters, it's how you rise up from the fall that does. We'll find out against a very good Troy team on Saturday if Nebraska can rise up.
