Nebraska is going to put an ass-whoopin' on Missouri this evening. Huskers 31, Tigers 9. Key paragraphs:
Nebraska is 19th in the Football Bowl Subdivision with 440.0 yards per game and ninth with 39.3 points a contest, but the defense has been even better.
The Huskers are first in FBS in scoring defense (7.0) and their 28 points allowed are their fewest yielded through four games since 1990.
"We've made progress but we're nowhere near where I believe we need to be," Pelini said. "We're in the right galaxy now. Last year we were a few solar systems away. We're playing well in some areas, we're playing inconsistent in some other areas. We'll find out."
In Pelini's first year as Huskers' coach last season, the defense allowed an average of 28.5 points.
It won't be long before Coach Pelini hands out Blackshirts.
Addendum: Nebraska won, 27-12.
