Northwestern showed Saturday they were the better prepared football team. The Wildcats had an outstanding game plan. The execution of that game plan made the difference in the game. A diverse Northwestern offense kept the Nebraska offense off the field. A big play in the passing game gave Northwestern the spark they needed to hold the Huskers at bay. A critical turnover at the goal line turned out to be a huge factor in the game.
Nebraska got a great effort from Taylor Martinez, the issue was the Big Red did not have the ball long enough to keep the defense fresh. The rest of the season the Huskers are going to be pushed by good football teams in tough places to play. The Big Ten is a conference with several good teams and no team that stands out as elite.
The coaching staff has work to do to have the team play to its potential. The players have to buy in and work to be a factor in the rest of the college football season. Time to close the book on Northwestern and get ready for another good offense in Michigan. The game will be difficult, with the biggest challenge being the mental toughness the Huskers need to show. Grinding out wins is the fruits of their labor.
Get it done.
