Defense is at least looking competent.

We can talk about building for the next couple of years but I just don't think this group of players is redeemable.

LOL that PAT going in is just as fitting as the muffed punt
Here's a glass half full approach. Even with three turnovers we are only down 17.
17 Nebraska points off three Illini turnovers. Those turnovers also represent opportunities lost for the offense to score more points. How much are they down? Oh yeah, 17. Who gets the ball to start the second half? Oh yeah, Illinois. Worst case scenario without those three turnovers = 21-21 and Illinois getting the ball.

Physically, we should be competitive with this team. Mentally, on the other hand...
Stampley drop, Mays drop/Bush fumble = at least 2 fg
2 fumbled punts = 10 pts
without killing ourselves we're down 1 or possibly up:rage:

They look competent on offense. They seem to have a good grasp of the system. They're a couple of good receivers from being a truly dynamic offense.
On the defense, they just don't have the personnel. They look slow. They look undersized.....it looks like a MAC caliber group.
On special teams, those two punts, are 100% on the special teams quote. 1)Anything inside the 10, let it go. That's HS type stuff. 2)If you have to dive to catch it.....let it go. Again, HS type stuff.
So, some good, some bad, some stupid = 4-8

You would think good, but he didn't look all that positive with body language

Yeah but 3 scores just to get back to even is going to be tough.
What game are you watching? I’ll turn the channel to that. We got nothing on D in the Illini game.
I don't understand how some of these bench players even get a chance to make the mistakes they do. They're way worst than our starters who have shown a propensity to not secure the ball both while receiving it and carrying it.
