You can LOL all you want. This team is more than capable of beating Iowa.

One heck of a game - proud of our team.

Good teams win average teams win some. Bad teams are capable but always find a way to lose.
This is put well. So many games in recent years, I dreaded the game because I felt the Huskers could get ran off the field. 3 top 15 teams barely scratched a victory from the Huskers hands. It’s painful, but very different than other losses against similarly ranked teams in recent history. Sure feels like the Huskers are close. Hope they can take the next step and win one of these soon. Then build on that and make big strides.
You think Michigan or Michigan State would want to play this team again? So much better than the record indicates.
And that's why the rest of the season will be played. One game at a time.
We definitely need more good players. Our current recruiting class is not the strongest, so hopefully we can add more. 3-4 soaks.
I don't think we lost tonight because we didn't have enough talent to compete.
We simply still make more errors than the other team in big games.
That said, I'm very proud of the Huskers for fighting the asses off. This teams lays it all out on the field. I respect the heck out of that.

I don't look at them as moral victories now. Maybe OU was - not only did we not get blown out, but we could hang with them and actually had a shot at winning. With Michigan State, I think that we outplayed them but found a way to beat ourselves. Again. However, MSU is undefeated and looks pretty good when not playing Nebraska.
In the Michigan game I don't believe that either team really outplayed the other. It was a hard fought game that could have gone either way. Sure we made mistakes, but so did Michigan. We have cleaned up a lot of the mistakes. We just need to start finishing games. But I feel like I can finally see where we're headed. We're getting there. The wins are coming!
GO BIG RED!
I'm sorry?
The talent is there and so is the toughness now.
We used to argue about looking like we're headed in the right direction. I don't think that's even debatable anymore. This is an improved football team. Three losses to top ten teams. Three games we were in until the final gun. Not the results I wanted, but I'll be damned if I'll complain about how they've played.
If you think this is a bad football team, you're way off base.
I really enjoyed watching this game. I don’t know why but my attitude is much better after this loss. I see a Quarterback that has weapons around him and an improved offensive line. The defense is solid enough to beat anyone on our schedule.
It should be obvious to most folks watching the games that we belong on the field with these teams now. Five straight games where the team looks solid and has improved something each week. We don't look lost. We don't look overmatched. We're more than holding our own across the board. This is a good football team right now.
Can’t disagree. Everyone has different gauges to measure progress. I’m alright with the guys who look at wins and losses. In the end it’s MOST important. We can be the best 5-7 team in the world and rated 30 in the power rankings but it won’t get you to a bowl.
However, I can agree with the eye test and see our on field progress. This is light years away from the last couple of years.
Agree… I had quite a few “fun” moments; especially in the second half.
I think there are certain barriers that will be removed through attrition, while others will be removed via continual development, focus on details, and performance improvement (which will require the ability to make difficult decisions at times).
I agree that Scott can get us there as long as he’s executed on the previous points.
And yes… Husker Fans are the best in my book!!
GBR!!
