Wake Forest stopped our running game today or at least stopped the machine we had last week. The offensive line was overpowered at times today. Receivers continue to drop passes and a number of passes for touchdowns were overthrown. Zac Bowman played well with seven tackles and a game saving interception. Marlon Lucky ran better today breaking a few tackles. He seems to run with a passion. "Q" ran well. Cody Glenn was absent. Terrance Nunn looked better. Sam Keller looked good at times and not so good at others. He will need to rebound quickly.
N. Suh looked all pro on a few plays. Zach Potter is developing. Larry Asante had some nice tackles. Octavian continues to dominate.
Our opponent next week will be much more talented. We will have the home field. Nebraska will need to improve its passing game by great lengths before next Saturday to compete. The offensive line will need to step. Defensively we have trouble with misdirection. This will be a factor next week with USC's speed.
To win next week, we will need to win the turnover war and play much better fundamental football or it could be a long night.
College football is crazy this year. Michigan and Notre Dame start the season 0-2. Going back to last year they have both lost their last four games.
Corn Nation is suggesting a change at QB if Sam Keller doesn't get better soon. They say Callahan isn't to blame. Read more........
Husker Mike is more critical of the coaching staff. Read what he has to say about the game. He also mentions what our own Charlie Wiiest said last week. Keller seems to stare down his receivers. Read more.........
And then there is Iowa State who is the worst team in the Big 12. They were beaten by Northern Iowa. Changing coaching staffs has a horrible short term effect. As noted this summer in my preseason predictions, Iowa State will be our easiest opponent this year. Yes, a lot easier than Ball State.

Obviously we need to improve to beat USC but the game would have gone a lot different if Keller could have hit 3 or 4 recievers that he had wide open. I think what killed us is not hitting the open reciever. I do NOT want to bench Keller, I think he will be awesome before the year is over, I just hope he can improve enough by USC. He will finish with a better year that Zac Taylor had last year.
I don't think we should bench him either. Wake Forest is a pretty good team and will win a lot of games this year.
