UCLA goes up 20-17 with five minutes to play. They’ve turned it over in the red zone twice.

We always talk about random QBs going off against Nebraska but I feel like a lot of time they are just good QBs and we don't want to admit it after.

I have always had to deal with this dichotomy of living in LA (born and raised) and loving Nebraska and following all the in-state and regional recruiting to the university. The last two weeks are a great example of how recruiting ranking can be deceiving. Ca kids are just better than every other state. 3 star kids would be high 4 to 5 stars anywhere else. Every year they travel to GA, TX, or Florida and kick their a$$.
In terms of Iowa, this is why I get so mad to lose to them. I think they suck and cannot handle any athletic twitch that comes their way, and you watched it here. UCLA is incredibly undisciplined and far from a finished product and kicked their a$$ in the trenches, and made athletic plays when they needed to.
How can I bring this back to Nebraska? I am not sure, but I would start by recruiting more twitch and maybe try to get back in CA with skill players.

Thank you! They do suck!!! I can't stand the self loathing Husker fan that thinks Iowa and Wisconsin are good. They are horrible. UCLA did all they could to give that game away and they STILL dominated horrible Iowa.

I don't think people actually believe Iowa or Wisconsin are good, it's just that they continue to be better than us. They over achieve while we under achieve horribly, which is respectable.

Four of their losses have been to teams that are currently in the top 15 while Minn has far exceeded almost everyone's expectations by about the same amount as NU has failed to meet theirs.

Sorry, definitely wasn't my attention. They really are just solid quarterbacks; Rourke has absolutely taken control against team (see Michigan now), Altmyer has played very well and Garbers has seemingly developed the last weeks and has relatively been solid.
Honestly, even Will Howard performed well against the D and we had heavily blown coverages.
The only QB we've faced that has been head scratching when thinking of being solid was Sanders, and in reality it's appearing like it was our bowl game performance of the year outside of OSU.
