It’ll be an empty the bench game. You have adults in charge of the program now. You have team leadership by players. These guys truly take a workman’s approach to practice and the next game is the most important game mentality. We’ll be ahight!
Just be aware

Not a trap game. We will make light work of them. A win by less than four touchdowns is a letdown.
You got the clear the benches as I was typing mine. So, I agree 100% with you!
Rhule and this team in particular don’t seem to be the type that are going to take any weeks lightly. Too many years of let down to take a week off.
Especially because CU is not a good team. It’s great to get that win in dominant fashion, CU has 3 or 4 elite players and then the rest of the team is average at best. That game was not as close as the final score indicated, but I think we’re fooling ourselves if we beat our chests too much. We are moving in the right direction and I’m pumped for what is in store. I think we easily handle Northern Iowa but then it’s going to get real and we need to bring it Day by Day.

Just be aware... I am still rejoicing in the absolute destruction. Of Colorado and all the Sanderses
I think there is a lot of truth to this. Count me among those who think our receivers might be overrated by the fans. Seems to me that they are not blocking well, especially Nayor, and that they are not getting open.
If you take another look at our first half against CU we really only had two offensive drives for a TD. The first and last. And the last one was aided by penalties and should have ended in a pic rather than a TD. I really did not see a prolific offense from us. I saw an improved offense. An offense that doesn’t turn the ball over. But this offense was still inconsistent and has work to do.
Our defense is great. They will have to carry this team until the offense improves. And after next week the B1G schedule starts and nothing will come easy. I see several teams on our schedule not named Ohio State and USC who are much improved. Indiana and Rutgers look dangerous. Illinois has a solid defense.
We need our offense and special teams to improve.
I'm not as down on them as you are. I don't see anyone claming this is the Joe Burrow LSU offense. Game 2 for a freshman qb with a whole new WR room. If they sync up the timing on those deep throws, look out. Was impressed with how Neyor, Barney, Fidone, took big hits and held on. That is a new thing to watch for Husker fans. Everyone knew this was a team that is going to get better as the year goes along.
Nebraska caught a bit of a scheduling break for next week. Normally, a game like this one is played at 11 am, and half the stadium includes people watching their first game because a neighbor gave them free tickets. That type of game is usually sleepy, boring, and the only team that wants to be there is a directional school.
BTN selecting this game for 6:30 kick was surprising. There will be a little more juice to rev some things up. This is also a Northern Iowa team in a bit of a rebuilding flux. They lost a coordinator during Fall camp and have a bunch of new starters.

I could see us coming out slow. A lot of college teams do, even good ones, after an emotional win.
Hope I’m wrong. Just hard to get up for UNI
