Nebraska dominates second half!

The first half of the the Wisconsin game consisted of 1) Wisconsin playing very very well. Wisonsin's Joel Stave was sensational. Time and time again he hit well covered receivers perfectly and made things happen. Jared Abbrederis, Wisconsin's great receiver, caught pass after pass. They sucked the guts right out of the Huskers time and time again. 2) Nebraska made lots of mistakes. The roughing the punter flag really hurt, A couple of flags kept Wisconsin moving when we thought we had them stopped. A fumble. An interception. Everything was going wrong.

But this year Nebraska is much better than Wisconsin although the score didn't show it. Nebraska took over the game in the second house and powered over Wisconsin 30-27. Great game but Nebraska was much better. This year anyway.

Baker Steinkuhler continues to look very impressive. The kid will play in the pros. He is fast and he blew through the Wisconsin front and either broke up plays by jamming the holes or making a tackle now and then. He is good and underrated.

Jason Ankrah is also very good but the stats don't always show it.

Joel Stave is a very good quarterback and Wisconsin will improve as the year goes on. They will win some big games before it is over.

How about stopping Montee Ball for 90 yards on 32 carries. That's a 2.8 yards a carry average.

Jared Abbredera caught seven passes for 142 yards. Some of those catches were defended very well but with perfect passes and great catches, he had a great day.

Ameer Abdullah has become a huge part of the Nebraska offense in both running, catching, or returning kickoffs or punts.

The biggest change of this game was the running of Taylor Martinez. Not since he was a freshman has he ran like that. Hard and with a purpose. He was absolutely amazing. No slides. None. Just very hard running. The Martinez of old in running and the Martinez of new in passing. A very good combination.

Nebraska had four recruits in this weekend that are committed right now to other schools. Nebraska also had six Nebraska recruits in that should have provided a great sales tool to the other recruits. More manpower to win over the committed to other school list or the other four uncommited visitors.
Of the fourteen visitors, we had five offensive lineman, two receivers, one tight end, and one running back. That nine offensive visitors. On defense, we had two linebackers, one defensive lineman, and two defensive backs. Five defensive visitors.
