[Husker] The Big Red is Awfully Little

[JEN_SENS]

Matt Hayes has always delighted in taking any shot he could at Nebraska.

I am by no means Kevin Bacon at the end of Animal House "Remain calm, all is 
well"

Everything is not under control, but it is a little early to panic. We are 
assuming the defense will play like this the rest of the year. [A fair 
assumption, but not necessarily a correct assumption.] We do not know how 
these players and coaches will step up. If the coaches don't simplify the 
schemes and let the players play, they need to be whacked with a rubber 
mallet. If the players don't step up they need a whacking.

It is easy to forget the same things were said about the 2003 defense (now 
remembered as one of the greatest defenses of all time.) After the K-State 
game former players left early in dejection and said they were ashamed to be 
part of the Nebraska heritage. They questioned how the Blackshirt tradition 
could drop so far. The defensive coaching staff was criticized for poor 
scheming and the lack of fundamentals on the part of the players. It 
happens.

This could still be a special season. We don't know yet. Stay positive! (But 
keep the tar warm and the rail and feathers handy.)
