I can't help but wonder if Nebraska had a competent QB and a competent Offense Coordinator, what this season would have been like.

Re: Nebraska Football 2021

I got nothing... this team, instead of finding ways to win, seems to be conditioned to find ways to lose. That's on the coach and if it was going to be fixed it would have been by now.

What a waste of talent.

If I was a Husker fan, I honestly don't know what I would find more frustrating; getting blown out like in year's past...or being so darn close to being undefeated this year.

Re: Nebraska Football 2021

The defense shows some promise, albeit against inferior competition so far, get a better read next week somewhat. The offense still seems so disjointed. Special teams is a joke.

Oklahoma is probably a bridge far too far, but who knows about the rest of the Putrid 10 schedule.

If Nebraska somehow doesn't have a QB better than Martinez, write off the next 2 years in addition to this one. That offense has somehow regressed even further and I don't think it's first game issues.
