[Husker] Missouri game

[Scott Lawson]

I realize Missouri is better then Nebraska but I have to say after watching the first 3 quarters of this game tonight it has become apparent to me that Nebraska is LIGHT YEARS away from teams like Missouri in talent across the board, and quite honestly I never thought I'd say that.

Callahan and staff were simply not the recruiters they were given credit for, period. I'm not ready to blame Pelini for any of this because watching the defense closely I can see how simplified he has made this scheme, and the players still are so badly out of position it's ridiculous. Some will say that is coaching, but in this case it is not, they are simply not good enough to play with Missouri.

Buffalo played better than this against Missouri, and right now I think Buffalo would have no trouble handling Nebraska either at home or in Lincoln.

There are several players on defense who don't even belong on the field, at least not at this level. I know we are not supposed to mention names here so I won't but I think it's painfully obvious who the players on defense are that need to be replaced with Pelini recruits.

Even when Nebraska was winning every game their opponents didn't look as overmatched as the Huskers look tonight, and I'm afraid it isn't going to get any better this season unless some drastic improvement takes place. 

I hate to say this but I'm almost embarrassed for these guys tonight. It reminds me of the Texas Tech game in '04(?) Luckily it doesn't matter what I think. I cannot believe I didn't bet my savings account on this game tonight (10 point spread!)
