Imagine what the offense could do if it gives itself the chance. Imagine Crouch throwing bombs to Newcombe, finding Matt Davison on the sideline pattern and hitting the hole on the option faster than any NU quarterback ever has. Imagine Newcombe running reverses, throwing passes and trailing on the option out of the new double-wing back formation. So imagine, if you will, a team that hasn't yet played its best game. A team with a suffocating defense and an offense which is getting closer and closer to finding its identity.
All signs point toward the Kansas game as having been just a bump in the road.
Regardless of what some may say, Nebraska is getting better. Sure, the Huskers are still putting the ball on the ground way too much and way too close to the goal line. That's something that must be corrected. NU defensive coordinator Charlie McBride said. And that is not good news for the Wildcats.
