Steven M. Sipple: Alberts just may help put Huskers on right path by invoking critical question

If you're a Nebraska football fan, you might've watched with a degree of trepidation as Georgia toppled Alabama in the national championship game Monday night.

In terms of overall speed and talent, yes, Georgia and Alabama leave Nebraska in the dust, especially in their respective front sevens on defense. My heavens, those defenses close quickly on the ball.

But let's be clear: Georgia and Alabama would leave 98 percent of 130 Division I teams in the dust.

Nebraska is among a massive crowd of teams trying to make up ground. My unsolicited advice: Don't look away.
