NU produced 439 yards of total offense, but UCLA bettered that total by more than 200 yards and controlled the ball for 94 snaps.

Commentary

Stryker

UCLA piled up 653 yards of total offense. That’s an end-of-the-Bill-Callahan-era figure.

Can you win the Big Ten if you get owned in the trenches by a middle-of-the-Pac 12 bunch?

Where is the next Lavonte David? Where is the next Ndamukong Suh? They ain’t coming out of that tunnel.

Pelini’s detractors suddenly have more ammunition. The shrill voices will become deafening in some corners of our little world.

The offense didn’t make the plays it needed in the second half when they were needed the most.

Grand Island Independent
Vogel

The Huskers under Pelini are almost always ‘close.’ But, as the UCLA game proved yet again, Nebraska isn’t there.

Callahan

What really stood out was how UCLA head coach Jim Mora attacked Nebraska on the edges.
