Moral victory? We’re not about moral victories, and Nebraska’s 23-16 loss to Oklahoma is still a loss.
But can we be relieved that it wasn’t nearly as bad as we feared it would be? Maybe.
Should we be frustrated by the mistakes that sabotaged a game Nebraska could have won? Absolutely.
Some fans are exasperated by the mistakes; see the calls on Twitter to see heads roll. Some are encouraged by a sign of progress Both are right, to some extent. Glass half full or half empty? You decide.
For me, I’m leaving the game more encouraged than discouraged.
