There is no nice way to put it. The Nebraska Football defense was poor on Saturday. After what seemed like a strong couple of weeks initially, they have definitely regressed.
Just look at the statistics for Indiana quarterback Peyton Ramsey. He went 27 of-40 on the afternoon, throwing for 351 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Whip Phylior had the game of his life, catching 14 passes for 178 yards. All told, the Nebraska defense did not play up to standard.
What was most jarring to me was the play of the Nebraska secondary. It seemed like they had trouble catching up to Indiana’s receivers.
