I keep thinking that eventually, we have to play that complete game. on both sides of the ball and ST. I thought of some numbers but just decided an overall impression would be more important. One of those games when there is no doubt from the first series to the end.

We move the ball both on the ground and in the air, punt two times. No turnovers. Take a couple 4th down chances and get both.
On D, we hold them to less than 10 points, get after them early and often with physical play and big third down stops. 2 turnovers
Special teams, we flip the field position significantly, hit all our FG's and XP's. Return yards under 30.

So when was the last complete game our Huskers played?

Wow, that seems like a long time ago. Good example.
