Truth be told, this highly anticipated home opener series against South Alabama started off like a dud. Splat. Yuck. It was kick the dog ugly. But then the sun came out and the temperatures warmed up a bit on Saturday and Sunday, and all was good again in Huskerville.
Nobody really played well in the first game, except Rhett Stokes, who I will talk about later. Therefore, we will just sum it up like this: the boys got their butts kicked, Bolt challenged them to do better, the coaches did sleep much, period.
The Nebraska team that the fan base expected to see did show up on Saturday.
