I'm stunned at how few points the Huskers scored per minute of offensive possession. Especially given the proportion of run plays.
I'm disappointed in the participation of the second (and third) running backs. November is going to be brutal, and if we're forced to use a backup running back full time? DOOM
The left tackle spot has got to get resolved and it needs to be by someone who doesn't draw stupid penalties. Physically? arguably the best lineman, but mentally?
The run play calling was obviously based on a calculus I do not understand. I have to assume that they wanted Dylan to take what the defense was giving him and he didn't see some of the open players down the field. Alternatively, it could be that they wanted to keep the offense as vanilla as possible until Michigan. (Secret hope).
But most disturbing to me was the utter lack of pressure by the four defensive lineman. I don't have access to advanced metrics, but I believe that was a poor performance.
Great analysis here. So much better than the knee jerk reactions immediately after the game and is why I continue to support this site.

Thank you for the chat during the game.
