Huskers open up 8 point favorites against NW

Bette teams don’t always win.

Here are some stats to wrap your monkey brains around:

Passing Yards
Nu - 255
MSU - 183

Rushing yards
NU - 187
MSU - 71

Nebraska ST is easily fixable. That’s why we lost.. small mistakes we can fix. Everyone needs to back off the ledge. Nebraska wins next week going away and wins two more afterwards.

Then next year we take a bigger step forward. Did no one else get excited watching Logan and Frost gel with the playbook. Next three years will be a ton of fun. Everyone needs to relax… things will be all good again soon.

I remember many moons ago when I was helping coach a HS team. We had a lineman that kept stepping with the wrong foot. After several reps of this the OL coach was on him pretty good and the kid says he doesn’t know which foot is his right. The OL coach then stomps on his right foot and says “It’s the one that hurts”. Seemed to correct the issue for that kid.
Was this school for "special" people?
 
Nebraska probably is the better team but NW has a much better coach and they don't shoot themselves in the head 6 times a game.

Rooting for my Huskers but I would be surprised if we won.

I am thinking this week it will be a hike over the holders head when we are lined up for a 27 yard field goal with .02 seconds left and we are down 1.
No matter what their record is, NW always plays us tough. It is the same record for us and that record is ‘Loser’ by Beck.

Special Teams will do their weekly thing to come up with a new way to lose the game.

O-line will whiff on blocks and have AM running for his life. And multiple false starts will take us out of any scoring opportunities. Tunnel Walk should be playing: I’m a loser baby…so why don’t you kill me!
 
I think Nebraska comes out and wins big only to be let down the next week with more blunders against Meatchicken
Sadly you might be right. Damn if only for a crappy punt instead of a HORRIBLE one we had that MSU game won. It was in the bank. I think we'll blow the doors off of Northwestern if we don't lay back and give their QB a chance to get confident. Blitz him early and often and take out all of the frustrations on the Cats.

They suck and this should not be a game. I hope the kids continue to fight even though they keep being let down by special teams.

How disheartening. Really until that last drive and that OT, the offense was really pretty good especially that second drive of the second half. I thought, damn, finally. We had them sucking air and on their heels. Defense was lights out and then a damned shanked punt to the wrong side of the field. IF he punts it only 10 yards but to the right, we still win the game. I think we're cursed and at this point I don't know how the team keeps it together. IF they do, that would be a coaching win because a lot if not most teams would check out after that loss.

I’m still upset we lost that game that we had in our hands for the taking and with a different Head Coach and staff we would be 2-0 in the division instead of 0-2.. Frost says we have a great team, well it’s time to prove it and string together some win….
 
Why does us being up 1, having the extra point blocked and returned for 2 sound much more Nebraska-like.
Because if we're up by 1 with two seconds left, we'd just kneel on the extra point and take our chances on the end-of-the-game lateral-fest, which will be taken to the house by NW, so it won't matter.

I don't even think it would have to have been a different head coach. ONE different assistant who has expertise in coaching kickers, punters, special teams IMO wins both of those games. On the other hand, the coach isn't on the field dealing with the mental pressure when the kick is made. I just don't think we're doing a good job of getting our specialists ready to perform. We don't have a single guy on our staff who has demonstrated expertise at coaching punters or kickers.
