Here are my pros and cons for today, what are yours?
Pros
Pros
- More physical
- Played hard
- Fewer penalties, if you count just the real ones
- Running game was effective, especially the option
- Occasionally got pressure on Fields and a few sacks
- Forced a punt in the 1st half against OSU
- While a decisive loss, it wasn't an embarrassing one, given state of program, opponent, road game, etc
Cons- Lack of effective passing game. No completions further than 10 yards until McCaffery came in during garbage time
- Lack of imagination on play calling. Weren't able to keep defense guessing after they adjusted and scored only 3 points in the 2nd half
- Related to imagination, couldn't find ways to get our most explosive weapon, Wandale Robinson, involved (only 28 yards)
- Two fumbles, after we led the nation last year
- Defensive secondary gave up too many easy plays, with too much space given to receivers
- Giving up 3rd and long conversions, including a 3rd & 13 running play
- Still have B1G officials
- No Husker volleyball to look forward to after a football loss
