[Husker] Leadership and Chemistry

[SteveG]

So much for the 'attention to detail', 'the boyz are ready to play', 'the
coaches will have them prepared', yada, yada, yada.  As a fan, I feel
cheated.

An excerpt from the NU Media Relations accurately sums up the game:
"The Huskies didn't need a successful passing game in the Holiday Bowl
thanks to a hard-nosed defense, a strong running game, solid execution and
perfect ball security. The Huskies committed just three penalties for 30
yards, and did not fumble or throw an interception in the game. Nebraska
committed 12 penalties for 102 yards, fumbled threes times with one lost,
and threw one interception. NU's penalties and yardage were the most by a
Husker team in its 47 all-time bowl games. "

An utter disappointment to the end of the 2010 season. The bowl game
highlighted the (1) lack of discipline and the (2) lack of team chemistry
that reared its ugly head numerous times in the season.  We were totally and
unequivocally outwitted, outlasted and outplayed.  Let's admit that we've
got some Jackwagons on the team.
However, I am not looking for anyone's head to roll, no public berating of
the young players.just saying that the team has looked "lost" on so many
occasions.  We lack positive energy and leadership.  Heck, even the
list-members went haywire on gameday!   
Further, we will need a much higher level of consistent execution come
10/01/11.  We need someone to step up / step in and be a leader.  Someone
else already pointed out that the Big Ten is pretty strong from
top-to-bottom - we're not in Mamby Pambyland anymore.

Wishing all of my fellow-list members a more peaceful and more prosperous
New Year.  
Thank You again to Mr Mike Nolan for moderating this unruly crowd of thugs,
trolls and Monday morning QBs.
Go Big Red!
