Husker Football: McNeese State Report Card

Bruce Thorson-USA TODAY Sports

What a difference a week makes. While one Husker football team cruised to a solid ‘A’ performance in week one against Florida Atlantic, another barely passed this last weekend.

If this were an actual test, the Huskers finished a point above passing…maybe.

The team as a whole looked totally unfocused and disinterested out of the gate. Perhaps the biggest example of that was on the offense’s opening drive when faced with a 4th and 1, it lost five yards.

The Cowboys proceeded to use that early momentum throughout Saturday’s game, almost leaving Lincoln with the biggest win in program history (and delivering the biggest upset in Nebraska’s).

"“Each group through the course of the game took their turn doing something that was uncharacteristic of them,” offensive coordinator Tim Beck said to Sam McKewon post-practice on September 9. “Had they just done what they had been doing, we probably would have had a greater chance of success.”"

Well, not to poke fun at the coach, but I think that’s rather obvious. School is back in session on Saturday night, but for now, it’s time to check how each individual position group graded out from their most recent performance. Feel free to add your own grades in the comments section below.
