I like what Tad Stryker says about the game in Ames.

Thud! There, it’s done. Bo Pelini and his coaching staff went to Ames, Iowa, and slid one of the foundation stones for the Cornhusker football program into place.

It looks square and plumb, and for the first time in a long, time – solid.

In other words, we played Iowa State the way we used to play them. There was never any question about which team had command of the game.

The foundation Stryker refers to is our ability to win conference games on the road. Iowa State is a start. Personally, I want to see us win on the road in the Big 12 South. When we clear that hurdle, things will be right with the college football world again.
