Well shoot, I can't believe a Hail Mary pass beat us. I mean they had a tru freshman quarterback in Tanner Magnum who was playing as well as Taysom Hill. You didn't really notice Hill was out, out for the season we found out later. We weren't positioned properly but the effort was there to break up the Hail Mary.
I felt subdued somewhat and disappointed quite a bit but I felt like Nebraska has some real potential if we can continue to improve, which I think we will with this staff.
Tommy Armstrong played real well at times and not so good at times. How he played was related to how Nebraska played. Armstrong struggled especially in the second quarter and Nebraska suffered. Much of the reason Armstrong was struggling was because pass protection was breaking down quickly. The offensive line was getting beat much of the second quarter.
I would give the following grades to the following positions:
QUARTERBACK B
RUNNING BACK C+
WIDE RECEIVERS A
OFFENSIVE LINE C-
SPECIAL TEAMS C-
DEFENSIVE LINE C+
LINEBACKERS B-
SECONDARY C+
The secondary was impressive at times but there were assignments missed quite often and sometimes a player just got beat.
Injuries were numerous. We will have to see what they all are this week. It will be good to meet South Alabama this week. We need a victory!
