This could be a long season my friends.
No, it won’t be because Nebraska lost in week zero for various reasons including a mind-numbing onside kick attempt.
It could be a long season because Nebraska’s vaunted Blackshirt defense gave up 527 total yards to Northwestern. Nebraska’s defensive line was embarrassed. If Nebraska was hoping to hug a lot of air then boy were they successful.
It’s a disappointing showing for this Nebraska defense. Give credit to Northwestern but it was the hope that Nebraska’s defense would benefit from five years of consistency in the defensive coordinator to hold down the fort until the offense can figure some things out.
