Go Big Read: Nebraska football ‘running out of words’ to explain losses

The Nebraska football team is a bit shellshocked right now after a blown lead led to the worst season start in school history.

Are you over the loss on Saturday? No? Feeling sick to your stomach still? So is the Nebraska football team.

The loss to Northwestern on Saturday is going to go down as one of the worst losses in quite some time. That’s because the Cornhuskers had the Wildcats where they wanted them.

Then they let them off the hook. That’s not acceptable in a normal season. It’s especially not acceptable in a season where Nebraska still hasn’t won a game.

In the hours and days since quite a bit has been said. But there are plenty of Huskers who simply don’t know what to say anymore. Read about that and other Cornhusker kernels in this morning’s Go Big Read.

There’s a lot to like about Adrian Martinez. This might be one of things to like about him the most. The true freshman quarterback is trying to lead and he’s doing so in possibly the toughest time in the program’s history.

How do Huskers learn to win when the wins just won’t come?
I’m not a fan of “the wins just won’t come” because it sounds like the losses are happening to them and are unavoidable. This is still a decent read.
