Why does the future look bright for NU?

Raiola, Neyor, Banks, Dowdell, Mazzccua are the best players in this offense. They all have one thing in common. Rather than half-assed, lazy and ineffective recruiters who make excuses, this staff goes and gets players where they are needed.

Now, if we can just keep this staff around for a few years...and write the $$ checks it takes to enable them,

CU Game

Never forget.....Football remains a game of harsh truths. You cant fake it. The counterfeit fraud that is Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffalos will be exposed and outed in the most humiliating way. Why? Because football remains a game of sacrifice and substance. Football's eternal truths have not changed.

Remember when the high powered 1994 Kordell Steward led Buffs came into Lincoln.....with Westbrook, Salaam, Rae Carruth (murder) and Furina ......and Charlie told the Blackshirt...."Kordell doesn't like getting hit". Its really no different except CU had a very good defense back then......they DO NOT have one now!

we don't need any more analysis of this game. We will inflict our will and then the circus can limp back to Boulder........ See you there.....

Opposing team DPI

I’ve discussed this at length with several people this past off-season. By having the most accurate pro-style passer since Joe Ganz for the next 3 years expect Nebraska to be on the winning side of a lot of DPIs.

DR can put the ball where he wants it and I noticed a lot of the secondary guys don’t expect some of those throws to be where they are or don’t expect the ball to be throw at all.

It’s statistically factual that the most accurate QBs generate the most DPI in football and it’ll be nice to see that A LOT more going forward like we did yesterday.

RedZone woes

Redzone issues were the name of the game under Frost. Adrian, while electric, shit the bed in the redzone.

It will be interesting to see how Nebraska converts in the red zone with Dylan. Nebraska was 100% at converting TDs with Dylan in the redzone, minus DD fumble. There is just so much that the defending team must account for.

It wasn't perfect

bit it wasn't to far off.

Offense threw it deep, short, inside, outside, screens, to WRs, TEs, and RBs. Starting QB threw it for 19/27 for 238 and 2 TDs. Perfect? No, but a great place to start the season.

Offense used 4 backs before the mass subs, they went 33 carries for 200 yards, 3 TDs, over 6 yards per carry, with 1 fumble, Perfect? No, but a great place to start the season.

Defense held them to 56 yards rushing, with a long of 9 on 24 carries. Perfect? No, but a great place to start the season.

Defense held them to 149 passing yards on 16/26 and a TD, with 2 INT. Perfect? No, but a great place to start the season.

Buschini averaged 48.5 on his punts, but we did give up a 29 yard return. Perfect? No, but a great place to start the season.

Alavano hit his 20 yard FG. Perfect? No, but a great place to start the season.

We had 25 yards on punt returns and got close to blocking one or two, 75 yards on kickoff returns, and gave up 48 yards on 4 KO returns. Perfect? No, but a great place to start the season.

We got the ball with 2:05 left in the half and scored a TD leaving no time on the clock. We pulled the starters with 3:48 left in the 3rd Quarter. Perfect? No, but what a great start to the season.

Yeah, there are somethings that need tweaked and corrected, some mistakes to fix, a few plays to avoid or add, but what a great start to the season. Just don't think it's a viable opinion to not think things are headed in the right direction.
