Pelini thinks Nebraska D sucks after 49-3 win

[Sgt John]

LINCOLN, Neb. -- It's a word any self-respecting football player dreads hearing. But Bo Pelini went there Tuesday.

The coach called Nebraska's defense "soft."

The 22nd-ranked Cornhuskers beat Florida Atlantic 49-3 on Saturday, but Pelini made it clear the performance he saw won't be good enough when the big games arrive.

Bo is right too. NU gave up 358 yards to Florida Atlantic. Even if they only put up 3 points, the 'Skers still let them gain gain gain.

Well, I can give him that, but the Nebraska offense struck time and time again. FIU also gained 129 of those yards in the 4th QTR against the backups after Nebraska was already up 42-3.

229 yards, 3 points, and 3 turnovers out of the starters isnt too bad.

Yeah but early on a good coach always finds faults in big wins against crappy teams

 

[Sgt John]

no doubt. One thing Ive always liked about Pelini is that attitude. One day soon I think the Big 12 Championship will be Nebraska vs Texas/OU every year.
