Nebraska vs. Northwestern

First off, I would like to appologize, about my last post. I said that last week the huskers would take on the Michigan wolverines, but they took on the Northwestern Wildcats. So, since I've already talked about the michigan game, ill talk about last weeks game, against Northwestern. This game was probably the worst I've ever seen when it comes to special teams, preferably on the punt return team. There were countless muffed punts that turned into turnovers. But, the blackshirts definitely pulled their weight with a handful of 3 and outs. The entire first half the wildcats only had one first down, which is ground breaking for the husker defense this year. Taylor Martinez had a particularly good game, he has gotten a lot better, but when he is under a lot of pressure, he goes back to his old crappy footwork. As for the whole team there was a lack of fundamentals, poor tackling and whatnot...  But this is not surprising considering how the season has gone so far. If Nebraska continues to have the fundamental problems, there is no way that they can win next week, as well as winning out. These problems need to be fixed if the huskers expect to win the rest of their games.
On a side note - Nebraska filled up half the northwestern stadium, making it basically a home game. keep that up husker fans!
