[Husker] optimism

[Ken Oliver]

I have to agree with some concerns about the season so far.  The defense seems to come up with the big play, but the nose to nose, grind it out efforts seem at times lacking--first down yardage, open recievers, etc.  I like the seemingly improved pass rush that is helping the big play part.

The O-line has a way to go and the dropped passes bother me.

However, when I reran the first part of the tape showing the start of the second half, I saw what I hope is the future of this team.  The offense was crisp, the line seemed to work well, passes were caught and the defense played hard nosed football.  I would recommend that those of you who have the recording queue up that spot and watch it again.  It gave me some optimism, maybe it will you too.
