This Nebraska team has so many flaws. Shortcomings that we all knew were there. They were like the shark in Jaws. There was a huge problem lurking below the surface for weeks. Sometimes the dorsal fin would breach and scare us but then slip out of sight for a time. But last night the monster showed itself and took a huge bite out of our season.
The coaches used smoke and mirrors on offense and the defense held as long as it could. October was a month long magic show and Rhule proved to be a disciple of the dark arts, but magic isn't real and reality is just too strong.
1: The team has an injury list that reads like a interstate multi-car pile up. Whole position rooms laid to waste. We've set new debt limit records in sunken cost. Spring and summer chemistry have been wiped out one or two or three ligaments at a time. Maintaining any sort of offensive continuity left us long ago as everything we worked on in the preseason is sitting on the sidelines or on a hospital operating table.
2: Haarberg is a Class C QB in an NFL body and while his body has held up, his class C shows. He was only offered a schollie when Frost missed on a bunch of his top targets. (Many of whom haven't exactly made a name for themselves in CFB either, but that's another story) @Carm and @vailhusker remember ,I'm sure. Then Haarberg was obviously ignored by Frost's staff after taking him. The extent of his "development" is what you are currently seeing right here before our eyes in game.
3: What we saw last night is what October always had a chance of looking like but we were somehow able to avoid the shark. But you can't stop an eating machine forever. We have tougher games ahead and I feel like the Mayor of Amity Island.
