[Husker] For What It's Worth ...

[David Strong]

No argument Steve.  You posted:
"Rather, the Scarlet and Cream lost the game yesterday due to lack of team cohesion, that is, a lack of group integrity."
 
I posted:
"Actually, it was lost because we have a very mediocre offense."
 
Cause?  Effect?  What?  What''s to argue?  Now if you want to say something like Zac Lee was spectacular to an extent rarely equalled in high school, college, or pro since the 1930's, that might generate some discussion, but not argument.  Course not.

Dave, I won't argue the point except to say that you are talking about the effect while I was discussing the cause.

Taken literally, it's an oxymoron but taken figuratively it's the concept that the welfare of the bombing group supersedes all other considerations in completing a mission. In Husker gridiron terms it might be called "collective maturity," the lack of which I believe lies at the heart of the team's problems. What I saw yesterday was a Husker squad that lacks collective maturity, which might explain the penalties, dropped passes, and bonehead decisions as well as the O-line's occasional  incompetence.
