Too early to tell I think. We had so many close losses last year that 6-6 might not really be a better team. Not saying I think we'll go 6-6. I hope we are better and think we'll go 8-4 or something similar.

I learned that:
(1) we are capable of playing four quarters of football
(2) our defense is much improved if our offense don’t keep them out there for long stretches of time
(3) we really need a good kicker as soon as possible
(4) we are not committing many fouls which is impressive
(5) our special teams (other than the kicking game) played very well and had two blocked punts.
(6) Either Frost makes some very suspect play calls at some stretches of the game or Martinez is unable to execute what Frost is asking...either way, our play calling needs to improve heading to the Ohio state game
(7) Frost needs to consider injecting Vedral into the game when Martinez struggles.
(8) Honas and Domann are special players
(9) First game in a long time that made me hopeful for the future.

Be careful saying this. Someone might think you're saying Martinez sucks and then make 50 status updates about it.

The kicking game is going to cost us some games. You'd think there would be some decent high school kickers on campus that would at least be more serviceable than what we have.
Martinez still isn't much better than what we've had the last 20 years at QB at Nebraska. Hopefully that improves.

I learned a safety is a better kicker than our punter.

After 4 years of Tommy Armstrong, and 48 glorious quarters from Tanner Lee, our expectations are expectedly astronomical at this point ....

This was a damn good win. Defense was very good. Offense was great in moments and still had the yips. I think we worked out some kinks in this game, hopefully we work them out completely next week. This is a top 20 team, very young and still
learning. Next year should be awesome .
