Spielman and the play-by-play guy are going very far out of their way to say Nebraska should keep Pelini. Spielman is Bo's friend so I guess it's not unexpected.

It felt like a 13 point loss -- and it was.
And has there been any progress on that front in 6 years? It's in our DNA with Bo. It's not going away.
I guess I would say defensive improvement with a young group. People were ready to fire Pelini over defensive performance just a few weeks ago. While we haven't played the greatest offenses in the country, no one could possibly make the case that this defense is not growing.
Really I set top 15 at the end of next year as my threshhold point before the beginning of last season. I see no reason to change that. So it's not like I keep saying, "Wait til next year".
But I also think the defense will be much stronger from game one next year, and the offense should be pretty good if Tommy Armstrong proves to be ok.
This.
I could make the point that I don't know if this NU defense has grown just a little or significantly. As you said -- and I pointed out earlier with numbers of the horrible offenses we've faced -- it's really very difficult to gauge.
Three losses this year and none of them were close. With this schedule. It's pathetic.
Bo causes that? Hard to make that argument. At best, you could say that perhaps the offensive talent he has recruited is not good enough. But the counter argument is that he lost his QB (who would have been helpful today if healthy), lineman, injured receivers, etc. Some will call these excuses. But it is simply a fact that our offense is a battered rag tag group right now.
The he frustrating part is that even with 5 turnovers we could have still won that game. We are leaving a lot of opportunities on the field despite these problems.
Exactly
You said before the beginning of the 2012 season that you want to see us finish in the top 15 at the end of the 2014 season? If you asked me before the 2012 season what I expected, it would be a lot more than that.
