Nebraska simply was beaten up badly Saturday night by a superior football team. Wisconsin gave the Huskers a lesson in how to play major college football. Russell Wilson looked like a right-handed version of Michael Vick and the Huskers looked like the Keystone Kops (If you are younger than 40, look for them on You Tube).
Nebraska came out strong, and then started turning the ball over. Penalties hurt good field position in the second quarter and then Wisconsin circled Nebraska like sharks. After the first play of the third quarter, there was blood in the water and the game was over.
The offense found a few good things. Jamal Turner got some touches, Rex Burkhead played with heart, but beyond that not much positive happened for Nebraska. The defense was shredded by a very balanced offensive attack. Sometimes you just get beat. No time to look back, other opponents will now know Nebraska is vulnerable. The coaches need to develop a game plan around what the defense can do well and then execute the plan.
Today Nebraska is a wounded football team. Time for Dr. Bo Pelini and the rest of the staff to heal what ails them. Ohio State is next. Thanks for reading.
