Really good game from Nebraska for so much of it. Colandrea just didn’t adjust well to Indiana’s change in pressure and we don’t have anyone capable at CB2.

Looking forward to what the rest of this season brings, I’m feeling very optimistic about 8+ wins. If we’re an SEC team we’d be ranked 18-22 range after this game (higher going in, obviously).

Yeah, I know there's going to be a ton of doomers, but I would say 8 wins is the expectation now. Preseason I said 6-6 maybe 7-5.

Yeah I think 8-4 should be the floor for this team seeing the remaining schedule. Oregon, OSU, and Iowa will be tough, but I could see this team winning one or two of those.

Yeah, Oregon without Moore is not the same team (not surprising, obviously). Raiola couldn't do anything against UCLA today and looked much more like the QB Nebraska had.

It’s just hard seeing so many fans not seeing the same pattern and trying to sell improvement. I’ll be right next week when we get blown out. “Oh maybe we didn’t take any steps forward” 

Rinse repeat.
