Unacceptable... Huskers lose again

Nebraska’s 24-13 loss to Illinois on Friday night leaves nothing positive to take away. The Big Red failed to produce scoring drives, even though they were able to move the ball against the Illini defense. The Huskers finished the contest with three 11-play drives that produced 0 points. None, Nada, Nothing. Nebraska’s special teams are still looking for an identity. They missed two field goals and allowed a fourth- 82 yards are unacceptable. Not scoring on three 11-play drives is unacceptable. With bowl eligibility on the line for the fourth straight week, Nebraska found yet another way to lose a football game. I’m not going to pretend I know the answer. Last week, the coaching staff told the media the offense was “pressing” too much. The local media ran with that narrative all week. On game day, the Husker offense sputtered again. What will the excuse be this week? I don’t want to start over. It costs way too much to fire a coach and his staff these days.
