If you're a Nebraska football fan, you could spend a fair amount of time nitpicking your way through the Huskers' victory Saturday.
It would make more sense at this point in the season to emphasize the bigger picture as you contemplate Nebraska's oh-so-predictable 54-35 win against Illinois before 88,316 spectators on a 20-degree day at Memorial Stadium.
Picture this: Defensive lineman Mick Stoltenberg, a passionate senior leader and captain for the Huskers, addressed the team in the locker room following the game. He talked about the importance of finishing the season the right way. He told the younger players they have exciting days ahead.
