Now I want to see some edge rush. Haven't seen Nelson all game.

I know there hasn’t been much room to run for Yant, but he’s just running straight ahead with no wiggle.

Dam, still can’t run the damn ball much.  Biggest disappointment here.  Get the guys to attack.  NW playing tough but still - no power in Husker power.  Not a good sign. 
 

CT is showing up well so far.  Got a long way to go but so far, better than last year in the little things.  Get a pick six.  That would fire up the D.

Glad that worked but I hate shotgun on the 1 yard line! 

The full house formation didn’t work on 2nd and the first 3rd down.

Huskers with 2 TD's in their first 3 posessions.

The o line will start to wear them out soon. Northwestern’s d line cant last much longer. 

The 1995 Huskers had trouble running on Colorado and the two Kansas squads.  

We all see those parallels here, right?

Right?

i hope we press the corners a bit more in the 2nd. This 5-6 yard cushion off the line starting to get annoying lol

 

[The Duke]

That was supposedly our strength from every “analyst”

It still could be. In some ways our struggles with breaking bigger runs early in this game might be a blessing in disguise. It really gives the coaches and players something to work on to improve. Long season ahead of us, so there is still time to refine things.

 

[cornhuskers4ever]

Gotta remember this is game 1against a team that always plays Nebraska tough.

 

[suh_fan93]

Heinrich just got his lunch eaten on that block.  Woof.

Lack of experience showing on the back end so far for us.

Missed tackles, missed reads, playing out of position.  Inexperience showing.

Dang!

 

[Decked]

Nick is playing meh. D needs to toughen up

Bad series on defense.
