> I think Fresno State deserves a great deal of credit for coming up with a very effective game plan for this game.  It will be interesting to see if this becomes a blueprint for future opponents to use.

Not all of our future opponents are going to have a quarterback as good 
as we saw last night, though two of them (Michigan and Michigan State)
will, and maybe even Wisconsin.  (So far Wilson hasn't really done 
anything that made me blink twice.)  I wasn't impressed with Iowa 
yesterday, either.  Northwestern's best QB hasn't taken a snap yet this
year, and his backup has grown up tremendously already this season.

The Huskers eventually wore Fresno State out last night, but neither the
offense nor the defense played well for the first 40 minutes.  

I completely agreed with the BTN commentators that the offense needs 
to have some weapons other than Martinez, whose long passes were ugly.  
A better defense would have taken advantage of that ugly passing, and 
there's plenty of those on the schedule.
