Sloppy

The strangest part of Saturday's meltdown in Lincoln was that ISU could have won the thing with some shots down the stretch.

While 20 turnovers killed them, allowing the B12's worst shooting team to shoot 42% did them in. It wasn't as if Maric killed them with a bunch of lay-ins; it was the long jumpers that the Huskers don't normally make that was the difference.

Until Wes returns, I expect more offensive lulls where things go stagnent, passes go off of feet, and players are either scared to take the shot, or players try to do too much.

When Freshmen are asked to carry as much of the load as they are now, we'll have days like Saturday.

I was happy to see that Cyclone Alley out-noised the Husker Red Zone. You would think after the horrible (by their standards) run in Husker football, anything that even smells of success would pack the students in. I guess not.
