The Morning After: Loss to Wisconsin Provides Sources of Disappointment and Encouragement

I’m disappointed. Again.

However, unlike the games against Purdue, Indiana and Minnesota I didn’t walk away discouraged after the 37-21 loss to Wisconsin. I was relatively encouraged actually.

This might upset some people but I do believe it is completely natural and healthy to be disappointed and encouraged at the same time. It doesn’t have to be either/or.

I left the game disappointed because many of the same issues continue to haunt Nebraska. Poor tackling. Inability to get off the field on third and long. An apparent allergic reaction to the thought of capitalizing on opportunities and finishing drives.
