Live from BugahaWest: What exactly was that? Oh yeah, a win

Dear Fellow Husker fans,

Where to start with what we experienced Saturday.  There was a o-line that kept Tanner Lee upright all day and a defense that couldn’t stop a running nose.  There was something we thought was going away, a balanced offense.  There was a clear #1 at running back, maybe, heck just add the question mark?  Are you happy now?  There is a couple truths today I think we all can agree on.  #1.  We are not fans of Texas.  #2.  We are not fans of UNLV.  Let’s roll then and see where this thing goes.

1.  70 plays for 463 yards.  Rushing 38-225, Passing 32-238.  That it’s a pretty good balance.  On the bad side is the defense gave up nearly 500 yards of total offense. It’s called overreaction Monday for a reason, but this opening act as a whole begs for a better sequel.

2.  Tre Bryant rushed for 192 yards.  When I read that while doing my little bit of research I had to do a double take.  Again with it be overreaction Monday after the first game it begs the question, is this the norm or is it a high spike over what will be the normal medium in terms of how well Bryant runs and how well the offensive line blocks as whole.  Only time can tell.

3. I was chatting with many of my fellow fans hear on Huskerspot (an impromptu invite for other to join, its a blast) and since I wasn’t able to watch the game I asked the question:  How is Tanner looking in the pocket.  The answers I was getting were on the positive, words like poised, in control, competent came up.  I did find where he was sacked once and unfortunately I haven’t found a replay of the play so I cannot judge where the breakdown came.  Speaking of breakdowns, there is the safety where Bryant was knocked down in the end zone.  Again, I didn’t see it, but from what I could gather in the chat it sounds like there was a complete missed assignment in regards to blocking a run blitz.  Something g for the coaches to work on.
