In a significant milestone for Nebraska football, the Huskers clinched a memorable bowl game victory, marking their return to postseason play and breaking a notable drought. The game, played in challenging field conditions that turned routine tackles into 83-yard slides, showcased several promising developments for the program’s future.
The most notable revelation came through the offensive coordinator’s performance, with Dana Holgerson’s system displaying a marked improvement in tempo and execution. The offense demonstrated a notably quicker release in the passing game, with quarterback Dylan Raiola (though he needs to refine his sliding technique) orchestrating a more fluid attack than seen in previous seasons.
