What's in your wallet? If you are a Nebraska Cornhusker fan, not the Capital One Bowl trophy that is for sure. South Carolina took Nebraska apart as the Big Red lost their cool and the game by a score of 30-13.
The game was eerily similar to the Wisconsin loss. Nebraska played well for a quarter and a half, then the wheels fell off. The Huskers showed an offensive line with no depth and little fundamentals. The best defensive back made an error in judgement that did not help matters any. Penalties thwarted any chance of a comeback in the second half. Then the defense tired out and the game was over.
Nebraska loses its best two players on defense (three if you count Jared Crick), the line on both sides must drastically improve while the rest of the Big Ten (except maybe Penn State) is as good or better in 2012. The safeties are slow and do not wrap up on tackles. The offensive line broke down like a 1926 Ford in 2012 with never having an oil change. The team needs an infusion of speed and power if they are ever going to be a top ten team again.
South Carolina was not a great team, but Nebraska played poorly. Personally I am also disappointed in the people that chose the receiver from South Carolina as the Most Valuable Player after he was ejected.
This was a disappointing effort Nebraska. No Excuses in 2012. Get the Job Done.
Thanks for reading Going Deep With Doze.
