You see after 3 games that needs improvement so that this team can get better? I am not flamming here, just doing what Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh and other great coaches do.....they always look to improve and challenge their teams and staff to get better.
I loved the win like everyone else, a great game as a fan to watch, however, we are not good enough to just show up, we have to keep improving.
I really like the offense right now, we can slug it out on the ground, go through the air or mix it up and do both. Our punter was very good yesterday, so happy for the young man, had a ton of pressure on him.
Defensively is where we need to improve in my mind for us to get better as the year goes on.
One improvement I can see is a healthy Stolts and a quicker Freedom. I would love to see one of the young DE's step up and help with the pass rush, we really lack athleticism. After watching a ton of Football these first three weeks, the biggest area we lack in is front 7 speed and athleticism to compete on a consistent high level. Our recruiting for these final months needs to target these areas, we already have two lb's in Roberts and Hampton, we need one more. As for the DL, it looks like we will get a few dt's but DE is where we need to go an hit a home run, we need speed there.
Banker needs to blitz more on third and longs, we give the qb way too much time to run around, create and find an open receiver. Our strength is our db's, we have to trust they can cover and challenge for balls while 5 are rushing. I believe NUFan said it last week, Young is a nice player but he doesn't have the speed to play olb, could be our Mike next season.
This has been a great night on the board, congrats to the entire Nebraska family and lookin forward to next week already!!
