PrintWell that was fun.
Look Washington may not be that good, but Nebraska played like a top 10 team today.
Yes, T-Mart played like a red-shirt freshman on the road for the first time today, missed some throws, held the ball too long, ect, but what he brings is the ability to take any run to the house. We have an explosive offense my friends.
K-State looms with a power running game that will have to be dealt with, but for this week (and probably next) can we just enjoy this win?
As per the contract, links of interest about yesterdays game.

Washington may turn out to be that bad defensively. But until further notice, Nebraska may suddenly have an offense, too.
Husker Mike's Blasphemy: Huskers Make Husky Fans "Sleepless in Seattle"
At times this afternoon, the Huskers made it look easy, seemingly scoring at will on big play after big play. Is this a sign that Nebraska is "back" and "national championship worthy"? No. Not yet.
I thought we agreed never to talk about being "back"? -JL
Wrapping the Big 12 afternoon games - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
Nebraska 56, Washington 21: What a dominating second half from the Huskers on both sides of the ball. The defense limited Jake Locker and forced him into a pick-six that gave them a four-touchdown lead. And we can probably count on seeing Taylor Martinez channel more T-Magic throughout the rest of the season. Washington's defense isn't anything to be scared of, but Martinez still looked like a guy the Huskies had no hope of covering. Nebraska's offensive line paved the way for three 100-yard rushers, led by Martinez with 137 yards. If Nebraska's offense keeps playing like this, it's bad news for the rest of the Big 12. The defense hasn't looked dominant, but to win a Big 12 title, they won't have to be if the Huskers keep running the ball like this. Tonight they're gonna party like it's 1999. Sorry, Bill Callahan.
Coach, QB lament the Huskies' poor showing

Scout.com: CFN Analysis - Nebraska Runs Over Washington
It might be time to add Nebraska to the short list of schools in contention for a national championship. It’s early, but it’s starting to look like the class of the Big12. The one thing Husker fans must keep in mind before feeling too good about this game is this: The Pac-10 Conference owns a lot of woeful defenses. One day after Cal got eviscerated by Nevada, UW absorbed a pronounced pounding on its home turf. Nebraska needs to beat someone far more credentialed than Washington before it is viewed as a legitimate national-title contender.
NU running backs get in the game in a big way
Watson said he'd heard from some people -- his neighbor included -- about Nebraska's running backs not getting enough touches in Nebraska's first two games.
Watson should go take his neighbor and take his hammer. What's up now? -JL

Just for you, JLew:

Some UW fans are convinced they belong in the subdivision now. Not sure why that’s better than NU being good but whatever.
Course some Nebraska fans are still complaining. I’m guess it’s the same people that found fault in the mid-90’s NU teams that scored 70 points on people.
You can't possibly be a scientist if you mind people thinking that you're a fool.

Yeah.
Their side saying NU is average, our side saying we gave up too many rushing yards again…I only have one word for both sides: Scoreboard.
Hadoken!!
The D is good
but I am nervous about the rushing yards. Seems like they get pushed around at times not all the time but for a stretch here and there.
it's officially a recurring comment / theme -
that Taylor Martinez doesn’t get nervous or rattled
not jumping to any conclusions – but composure wise – wasn’t that also what TO used to say about Tommie Frazier?
For a good laugh
go read the comments section over at UW Dawg Pound. We’re “one-dimensional” and Locker had a bad day. Haters gonna hate.
Hadoken!!
I love people with the mindset...
that no teams are ever good, just that when their teams lose to someone, their team had a bad game.
‘95 Nebraska wasn’t any good, everybody just had their worst game against them.
My favorite quote from UW fan: “Their offense is one dimensional and their defense is average.”
I really hope Washington/Jake Locker look phenomenal for the rest of the year. I just want to check back with them in a month to see what Huskie fans say.

UW
shouldn’t expect to be very good they just aren’t. Didn’t they go 0-12 or 0-13 a couple of years ago. Steve might be a really good football coach but he isn’t the Messiah they were hoping for. But they are a lot better than they were and will continue to get better because he is a good recruiter and coach. Hopefullly he doen’t get them in trouble like Carroll did at USC. It’s take Bo three years to get here, we look good but the real tests start in a couple of weeks when conference play starts.
Both Sides of the Mouth
Before this game, it was “Locker the Heisman candidate”, “Will Martinez the rookie survive the loudest house on the planet”, “Huskers First Big Test” and so on.
The Huskers beat the crap out of UW and it’s “Locker ain’t no Heisman contender, he always sucked” or “Half the Stadium were Husker Fans” or “This team was just another patsy for Huskers to beat up on”.
If UW had won, the first set of headlines would be all we’re reading. But since the Huskers played an excellent game on all three sides, all we will hear are the second set. Locker played badly? Yeah, he did, because he had no one to throw too and the defense was in his face or on his back all the time. Loudest house? Well, here the UW fans got smacked down by the Husker fans. Husker only played a mediocre team after all? Well, that’s how teams look when they get out-coached, out-hustled, and out-played.
But nah, it must be just that all that Heisman/number one draft choice talk was completely wrong, the Huskies weren’t any better than Idaho, and their house really isn’t that loud. Right?
Yeah. Sure.
