I didn't like most of what I saw in the first three wins, so even though
I thought NU would beat V Tech before the start of the year, the next
three losses didn't surprise me.  I thought NU showed much better stuff
in the two games prior to Baylor (although the 2nd half against ISU wasn't
inspired).  My impression Saturday was that this team still makes many
mistakes and what I saw Saturday reduces my optimism for the rest of the
season.  Before Baylor, I thought NU would lose to OU and win the other
three games, but if NU plays as it did Saturday, there may be more losses
in store.

I will say that I thought the offensive line play against Baylor was much
improved over earlier in the year (ond/or Baylor's defense is terrible).
