Dave Feit says the Huskers took care of business against Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes in a way the 1994 team can appreciate. Does it mean Matt Rhule's Nebraska program is ready to launch into bigger things?
") that was on the radio as I drove down to the stadium Saturday. It's a great encapsulation of the night and where Nebraska can go from here.
Obviously, the 2024 team is nowhere close to the level of the ’94 team. And make no mistake: beating a surprisingly mediocre Colorado team does not mean Nebraska is "back".It's about doing what needed to be done. Come out swinging, knock them down, and never let them off the mat. I'll take that result, even if the Huskers got a little bored in the second half.The Blackshirts were beasts from the first snap to their final play .
Colorado's defense was physical. They put some hits on a number of Huskers. There's an argument to be made that they painted in the margins between physical and dirty, but they made some big hits.From the opening kickoff - when Mikai Gbayor absolutely trucked a would-be blocker - the Huskers brought it in all three phases.
I say this not to nit-pick Raiola, but to illustrate that there's enough offensive talent around him that he doesn’t have to play hero ball. Do the basics like progressing through reads, hitting receivers in their hands, and being smart with the ball .At halftime, all was right with the world. The Huskers were up 28-0 and were getting the ball to start the third quarter. Matt Rhule could name his number.
I'm not going to lose sleep over Nebraska being shut out in the second half. Plus, I'm not that interested in nit-picking after a convincing 18-point win.Is Colorado bad, or did Nebraska make them look bad?
