It won't affect me one way or another. I'm not a player or a coach, and I left need to vicarious success behind after I lost interest in Wylie Coyote chasing the Road Runner. It's a game, I have no skin in it. If Nebraska wins it all or never wins another game it affects me not. To think otherwise, as a "fan", is juvenile.DVDA said:

Still a good win. USF is good. NIU has a real program with seasoned players who have about 3 times the wins in their 4-5 year careers as our older players have, which we basically have none of. They have near Boise level consistency over the past 5-10 years and have sustained after multiple coaching changes. Nebraska made good adjustments in the 2nd half and we punched ourselves in the face unconscious. Depth also came into play. I'm obviously very disappointed in the 4th quarter but I feel as good as I did before that game as long as we can get the next two. We don't have the compete with the B1G, just the MW... there's absolutely 6-8 wins to be found this year but we have to take it 1 game at a time. We can be really really good in the next couple years. and pretty good this year.

I get it, the secondary struggled, but this team still passes the eye test for me. They (d backs) gave up some big plays, but they also made some great plays that we conveniently forget. Picks, breakups, etc. This game was penned in as a loss by 99% of people. The score got out of hand in the fourth, but this team is going to be ok.
No. Not unless the Pokes can rack up a lot of points. UC Davis will rack up points. Why? The same reason Nebraska did - they passed the ball into a weak secondary. Are the players that bad? I don't think so. I think the defensive secondary coach's schemes are poor. Definitely needs a rework.WyoVaquero said:

I feel the meltdown was one player, not the entire team. Four bad throws that were clustered together caused 4 quick scores for Nebraska. I am not calling Josh out, he's lead the team to 7 good quarters and has had one bad one. But the team didn't melt down as a whole, they really had very little to do with the trainwreck of a 4th quarter. A few bad throws and a couple bad or non calls, and a one score game becomes a blow out.
I'm with you 100%, let's focus on the next game, and not worry too much about the one most of us expected to lose.
The O looks way better, the D looks a bit better, our punting is still strong and the jury is still out on the kicker. As long as he hits the sub-40's consistantly, he's doing his job. It's not often you get a true freshman kicker that's lights out his first year.SDPokeFan said:

Agreed, and the bad throws came at a point in the game where you have to take chances (unless you are content with just keeping it close), rather than early when it was still close. As long as this isn't Corey Bramlett 2.0, I think we'll be fine.

Pick #1 hit the WR in the face
The other picks were because Josh started slinging the ball around because our team was one dimensional. Hill couldn't move the ball like usual. Bohl even said that in post game. He said many of those picks was because Josh was put in a situation to press.
It was glaringly obvious the depth that Nebraska had. This has been an issue for most non p5 schools for years. We hung with Texas for a half, we actually competed with Oregon last year for a time. Eventually the talent and DEPTH win out. Such was the case here. We competed for 3 quarters. I haven't been back to watch the game on my DVR since being back, but I saw the Pokes competing.
We got our butts handed to us in the 4th, and our guys were gassed. If we lose to UC Davis, sound the alarms. A loss to NU in Lincoln....meh, oh well.

I'm not convinced of either coordinator. Vigen runs up the gut ad nauseam and Stanard's pass defense is soft as baby poop. The Tampa 2 is not a good scheme. It would be great to see some man coverage once in a while.McPeachy said:

The Jury will always be out on Stanard...as plenty of us have voiced here. I think he was a cheap buy, and is not capable (nor have the skill set or tenacity) to be a MWC Championship DC. Not sure he will ever coach to his players...I think he is stuck in his system, and by god, he is not going to change to the skill set / personnel on the field.
As far as Vigen goes, we will wait and see. The "system" may have worked in north whatever, but may not translate to week-in week-out FBS tilts...with the same recruiting philosophy as was in place up north.
