World-Herald staff writer Rich Kaipust looks at five things we learned and five things we didn't learn from NU's 38-17 win over Idaho.

FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED
1
There’s more than just one or two members of the Nebraska secondary who can make plays.
2
Seven sacks prove that the Huskers can generate some pass rush without Ndamukong Suh.
3
Nebraska has more breakaway threats in its run game than in just about any recent season.
4
The Huskers still own the WAC, standing 22-1 all-time against members of the conference.
5
Bo Pelini doesn’t subscribe to the “any win is a good win” philosophy (wait, we already knew that).

FIVE THINGS WE STILL DON’T KNOW
1
How effective can Taylor Martinez be when the Huskers need to throw the ball downfield?
2
Can anybody hang more than 20 points on NU? It hasn’t happened in the last 10 games.
3
Lavonte David looks established, but how is the other linebacker spot going to shake out?
4
The NU offense had some trouble with short-yardage efficiency Saturday. Should it be a concern?
5
Is Nebraska truly a top 10 team? That might be easier to answer after next Saturday.
