This game was equal measures encouraging and frustrating.
It was encouraging to see the Husker ground game make headway against a very stout Badger defense. If you hold up the offensive statistics and look at them side-by-side, you would have a hard time telling which team won by sixteen - until you get to the red zone opportunities (but you already knew that).
The Huskers had the edge in total offense 493 yards to 482. The Huskers averaged 8.2 yards per play while the Badgers averaged 7.3 yards/play. Both teams averaged more than 7 yards for each rushing attempt.
