We haven't found it yet. However, Nebraska is a lot closer than they were three weeks ago in the 19-0 loss at Arizona State. Nebraska put up over 600 yards of total offense in half its games a year ago, including the much-ballyhooed bowl win over Florida. We still have improvements to make before we reach the level we were at in the Fiesta Bowl. But that's the level we're looking at to be in the running for a championship.
Nebraska fans are just happy to see the race is on.
