Buffalo almost beat #15 Saturday. Might be a better win than we think.Nor do I, but today, I saw some possibilities out there. It was different today. Beating Buffalo doesn’t prove squat. Should have beaten the #3 team in their house today!

I think CC is not the #15 team more so than anything. Buffalo is bad.Buffalo almost beat #15 Saturday. Might be a better win than we think.

I like the confidence but there are a lot of reasons we won’t go 6-2. Special teams, continuous penalties and sloppy plays and ineffective line play.There is zero reason for NU to not go 6-2 the rest of the season.

Besides the penalties, I thought the line did a nice job overall. I could see some holes in there w the RB missing the holes far too often. Adrian also cut right into traffic a few times where had he went the opposite way, huge gains. He also had time to throw, for the most part. The sacks were mostly him holding the ball too long. Have to build off of it somehow.I like the confidence but there are a lot of reasons we won’t go 6-2. Special teams, continuous penalties and sloppy plays and ineffective line play.
The O line is getting close to being good. I realize many people can't see that. We need to slow the pass rush down to give AM about 1.0 more second on many of the pass plays. Not that far away. Let's see how they respond next week.Besides the penalties, I thought the line did a nice job overall. I could see some holes in there w the RB missing the holes far too often.

Martinez had enough time to throw, mostly, yesterday. He holds the ball too long often. Sacks happen then. He has to make faster decisions. They still got 3 the first drive, even after 25 yards of penalties. The OL yesterday, you finally could actually see some things. Have to win some games man, that’s the bottom line.The O line is getting close to being good. I realize many people can't see that.

Run blocking. Saw some good things, especially with the counter blocking. You pointed out the RBs not seeing the holes. That too will come with time working together (assuming they continue progress).
The penalties on the first drive killed us. But the O line was playing in the loudest, and possibly the toughest, game of their lives. We'll get better.
He has to learn to throw the ball away and not take negative plays. Rattler did that - AM didn’t. He did play a great game otherwise. We just can’t seem to make a play when we need it.Martinez had enough time to throw, mostly, yesterday. He holds the ball too long often. Sacks happen then. He has to make faster decisions.

Your complaint isn't crazy, but we won't know what this was until the end of the year. If it turns out to have been the high point, it won't have meant anything. But if instead it's a turning point indicating future victories this year, it will have meant a lot.I don’t think that’s a good thing that the high point of his Nebraska coaching career is a loss.
