[Husker] Observations/opinion

[Tommy Thompson]

I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel on this team, yet.  Like another 
poster pointed out, the Huskers seemed to get in trouble because of the 
early scores.  I get the feeling that, in college football, scoring quick is 
not a good thing unless you have a great defense.  Nebraska does not have a 
great defense, and only has an average offense.

The defense needs to be able to stop the run, in order to make teams one 
dimensional.  The Huskers couldn't put on a good pass rush because the 
Kansas RB's were running wild.  The Husker CB's are small, but even great 
CB's can't consistently cover when the QB has time.  I thought the D-line 
tried hard...thought they might have been held on more than a few 
occasions...but were outmatched until late in the game.  Thank goodness that 
"warrior" on KU's O-Line was tired by the end of the game.

NU's O-Line is pathetic.  Taylor played incredible, considering he spent 
most of the game running for his life.  I thought that the Huskers could 
have given him more time if they had run a few screens...either to the RB or 
the TE.  I also think they need Mann back badly.

Recruiting issue...anyone know if the Huskers are trying to get some big 
CB's?  These 5'8" dudes are trying hard, but the Huskers have no one to 
cover big men.
