Ranked 23rd in AP, and 24th in coaches poll.

Last year, we were a mediocre team trying to be good. I think through two games this year, we're a good team building in the direction of great.

Certainly, we are not there yet. UTEP lost to Southern Utah on Saturday. How good is Colorado once you get past a few flashy skill players?

We still have issues with Special Teams. They weren't all that special against CU.

But I am happy that we've won games we were supposed to win by comfortable margins. Onward and upward!

Are we supposed to downgrade ourselves further if CU loses to Colorado State next Saturday.

Keep in mind that back in the Devaney-Osborne years, our style of physical football was legendary. The Huskers played with such force and such physicality that our opponents often lost again the week after we beat them up.

And for God's sake, we beat Colorado. We are entitled to a little chest thumping today. Tomorrow we must prepare for UNI but today we celebrate!
 
One step at a time for certain.
But…….
The nation saw Ty, the Polar Bear blow through double teams like hot knives through butter. They also seen a freshman still without an interception. Now Nebraska must refocus and continue the process. It is a tough league and they will be tested.

This time last year we had 6 or 7 turnovers already

I read somewhere today that the last time Nebraska was 2-0 with at least one of the wins against a Power Conference school was 2007. Unreal.

Start with not getting TWELVE penalties. Many were from our veterans.
