My only beef*. We have maybe the best running QB in the country

We can't do anything. Why not get Nico running? By farrrrr the best asset our O has is Nico running past the LOS. IMO, if we're not trying to get Nico in space past the LOS, then we have something that is a higher priority than winning the game. I guess that's protecting Nico at all costs. But .... don't tell anyone I said this, he's not that great. He's not accurate, people say he is a "one-read" QB. Other than the running, is our back-up QB that much worse? Where, you can't let Nico run?

Don't get me wrong, this game is over. No need to risk him now. But, against Nebraska, if the O is not firing on all cylinders, they've got to call Nico's number.

*my other beef is with the refs.

The D is over matched. Mendoza 10-17. They're averaging 5.6 ypc. Not what you'd expect when you've given up 35 points in a half.
