National analyst has bold take on Sherrone Moore, Bryce Underwood

When you look at the stats, it's hard to argue with Neuheisel's logic. In two games with Sherrone Moore as head coach, Underwood completed 54.5% of his passes for 393 yards and one touchdown while rushing the ball just five times for -6 yards. At times, he looked confused in the pocket, but in his lone game under Poggi, he looked much better.

Last weekend, Underwood threw for 235 yards and a touchdown while rushing nine times for 114 yards and two touchdowns. Obviously, it was against Central Michigan, but he looked much more comfortable than he had in previous weeks.

However, despite what the stats say, this is a bit of a questionable take. Even though Poggi is acting as head coach, he's listening to the plan Moore laid out for him. He's not going to undermine his boss while he's out for two weeks; I believe the game plan to have Underwood run more against CMU would've happened no matter who was coaching the team. Moore had alluded to opening up the run game for Underwood more in the future, so that could've been the plan all along.

If Underwood marches into Memorial Stadium, has another big game against the Cornhuskers, then struggles in two weeks when he faces Wisconsin off a bye, then there could be some weight to this argument. But until then, it's unfair to suggest that Moore isn't the right coach for Underwood.
