Some random thoughts:
1. Fans in the Stands. Large blocks of seats not sold. Clearly more Bulldog fans that Huskers. Huskers not travelling well now? No interest in playing Georgia again?
Seems like we used to travel in great numbers to any game even one as far away as Hawaii.
2. Play Calling. None of us are perfect play callers but it seems to me that Beck somehow winds up in a 3rd and long too many times. He seems to like slow developing plays behind the LOS or out in the flat behind the LOS against fast defenses. It seems to me that when we don't have power running success in the first half, Beck still wastes too many plays up the middle in the late quarters.
3. Bo. He seemed to be in control more and I was very happy and surprised with his half time interview. He did a good job. I hope our assistants have matured more this year and ready to battle the best coaching staffs in the country.
4. Turnovers. We did a much better job today but Bo has had problems for several seasons. We need to get a handle on the ball. Newby seems to drop the ball too much. Our secondary played well in coverage but we seem to be a little less agressive now for interceptions and soft in the middle. Can't complain too much though since we held Georgia to three FGs and one TD. We gave up yards but got tough inside the 30.
5. Field Position. We need to do better with special teams and getting the offense up the field enough to win the field position game. We need much more emphasis on the kicking game. Foltz seems good for at least one shank per game.
6. Blackshirts. They played much better in the second half of the season and played with a lot of heart for the full game. I have a lot of hope for next year.
7. Team. The team is full of heart and effort. I am proud of them. Even in the losses they played hard and most of hte losses were due to us shooting ourselves in the foot with turnovers, fumbles, drops, and penalties.
