All right, I'll admit I was wrong. 

They won't be picking pieces of us out of the field in Lubbock.  We managed not to get embarrassed.  But I still stand by the comments of my last article. 

We showed heart and improvement, but one game doesn't make a trend—and at the risk of contradicting myself, history doesn't remember what type of effort you gave or how close the game was.  A loss is still a loss, whether you lose by 70 or seven.  

  • B/R Ticket Guide

We are a team without an identity.  Physicality used to be the staple of Husker football.  We would pound and pound and pound until we beat the snot out of whomever we played.

Now what are we?  What is the staple of our program?  What is our identity now?

Do you know?

If you do, please tell me because I certainly have no idea what it is. Until we figure that out, we will never be able to return to greatness.
