Ugly.
The defense wasn’t at it’s best; special teams had issues. And the offense? Simply not good, especially in the passing game. I thought the running game wasn’t bad, but the passing game was ... awful.
All fingers will naturally point towards the quarterback, and let’s be honest, there was a strong argument to be made to make a change in the fourth quarter for two reasons: first, Heinrich Haarberg was struggling and I think Haarberg’s skills aren’t suited towards a pass-first approach when Nebraska needed to score twice in the closing minutes.
