Anyone else think Nebraska would be this bad

There was one play in the Nebraska-Wisconsin game that really highlights Nebraska's problem. A Nebraska defender put a big hit on the Wisconsin running back, I think Groshek, and started dancing. But Groshek didn't go down and kept on picking up yards as the defender was dancing. A Wisconsin lineman then flattened the dancing Nebraska defender!
Undisciplined. If Frost can instill discipline, they will get better. Jury is out as of this moment.
Basically Nebraska gets alot of yards but constantly doing dumb things to beat themselves. And while they make alot of plays, they don't make the plays when needed.
Also, their offensive and defensive lines are farther away from those of a power program than ours are. And you don’t recruit one big class and fix that.
And same as when we were 0-3, yeah you don’t see massive decommits yet, but new commits have also ground to a screeching halt. If they finish 2-10, recruiting won’t start for 2020 as though they were Ohio State on a comeback from Cooper
I wish I had a way to see it again, I was out-of-town watching, and also then to be able to post it here. It was the highlight for me from all the games I watched yesterday.
It also highlighted the major difference between Nebraska and Wisconsin, mindset.
Watching Spielman made me appreciate Rondale Moore a lot. Spielman is almost as quick down the field and can catch, but if you look at it, his ability to cut and manufacture yac is nowhere near rondale and he also isn’t close in terms of working those possession routes
