There are still 5 games left. Not trying to be unrealistic, but what if by some tiny chance (I won't call it a miracle) NU upsets Wisconsin and ends the year 7-5. Would we be ok with 7-5 and finally beating Wisconsin? I think most fans, if they're being honest, would be ok with it.
I will say this for about the 5th time. Everyone is just really pissed about how the team played against Minnesota. There are just mad. I don't think there is any other way to describe it. Nebraska played pretty bad against Minnesota their is no getting around it. Minnesota also played really well, no one seems to be giving Minnesota any credit for that. Everyone is really mad about the defense in this game, but if the offense is playing as well as last year. The defense really isn't a problem.
Everyone is also pissed because they think Frost sold them a bill of goods. He was too optimistic about how good this team was going to be. I think Frost has learned a valuable lesson. Bravado is great in private, but keep it to yourself in public.
I think they were counting on a lot of things coming to fruition this year that just haven't.
I think they expected the O-line to gel together and be serviceable.
I think they expected a couple of WR to step up and really become players
I think they expected Mills to come on to the team and pick up where Ozigbo left off.
I think they expected to have a very solid kicking game with a returning kicker.
I think they expected Martinez to take a big step forward in leading the offense.
I am hoping the figure out a few things offensively before Indiana comes to town. I think the defense will be OK if the offense can generate some points.
