Time will certainly tell...the USA game will be forgotten one way or the other but this sounds a little like the Bo years when we averaged 3.9 ypc against a sunbelt teams and people said that team was going to win big...only to see them win 5 games and later we see the run game peter out in big games. I do agree USA looked extremely well coached. They were extremely well prepared and didn't have hardly any easy to see busts. That is unusual for a 1st game. Even one wide open receiver and an 80 yard gain and people are probably way more relaxed about our offense.I'll repeat myself from another thread:
I'm beginning to see why South Alabama played so well against Nebraska, all you have to do is look at their coach and see what he's done over his career, Steve Campbell is flat out a damn good coach.
Looking at the USA roster it's plain to see that they have tons of athleticism, with quite a few CC players in the mix, if Campbell can keep getting good players, he's going to make that team a force in their conference for years to come. Campbell flat out brought a very well coached team to Lincoln and gave Nebraska a much needed wake up call and punch in the chops.
