Yup, they damn near beat the #3 rated team in the country...not too bad.

this is how i see it.......


texas won because of a review, something ive always hated, reviews that is.  colt mccoy will not win the Heisman because he can't play against a real defense.  they will most likely lose to alabama, even though i am pulling for them since they are big 12.

shawn watson better get his resume together, he is done after this year.  you can't win games on field goals and defense.  the offense has been comatose all year, i do not blame the players, only the play calling.  i mean, how many times do we have to run between the tackles and gain zero yards before you change it up?

the 4 field goals we scored tonight were on these plays (correct me if im wrong):  off 2 interceptions, blocked punt and a punt return.

ok, im done.

Great  defensive effort and great game. That big win is right on the horizon.

SUH for Hiesman IMHO, but the entire defense played lights out.

Too bad the way it ended... a poor kickoff gave them the field position they needed to get that extra second to count

Personally I say we won, time at the end of a game is not reviewable.  Clock is only able to be adjusted on a reviewabe play, official on the feild signaled game over.

 Poor kick off, big play plus a hoarse collar and a little help from the officals at the end combined with an "offence" that can't do anything equals a Texas win. I think Lee should just start his transfer plans right now along with Watson.

 NU's deffence put on one of the best performances I've ever seen. If the Heisman was really given to the best all around player Suh would take it hands down after that. 11 tackles and 3 1/2 sacks on the #3 team in the country says it all. NU's deffence is by far the best in the country.

Indeed the Defense played great. Now the offense needs to pull a bit more weight. But I thoroughly enjoyed the HUSKER defense looking like the Husker defense of years past.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the offense.  Our line could maybe block four 6 year old girls, but only if they didn't have a 7 year old blitzing.  The offensive play calling is pretty bad in my (unqualified) opinion.  How can you run 95% of your plays between the tackles and expect to produce anything?  And the option is a total failure with this offense.  I don't know why they bother, it never leads to anything except a tackle for a loss, unless Lee decides to pitch, then it leads to a turnover.

I agree the O-line is average at best and the play calling was very curious. On the one hand Watson was hampered by inability to block or complete a pass....but I also wonder if, after Lee threw 2 ints early, Pelini didn't tell Watson to go super conservative? Whatever the case it was pretty embarrassing. NU needs to figure what they want to do on Offense (Power I, West Coast, etc) and recruit and develop toward that. I am not sure Watson is the guy for that- but am not opposed to giving him another year to improve. And you are right the option is a NO GO, unless you feature it with the right personnel- neither of which NU is prepared to do.

Personally, I'd like to see NU return to a power I game (not necessarily option) with a mobile QB that can run Play-action, boots & waggles. I think that would nicely compliment a strong D, control the clock and be a match-up nightmare for all the D's converting to small/fast people to counter the spread. But O-line upgrade is #1 priority, IMO.

Nebraska's Run Game (in the days of yore) made it's Play Action Passes go for big yardage.... even a high school level passer can hit the tight end if he's 35 yards downfield without any defender within 15 yards of him...... In those days, Nebraska's "Pipeline" (program of creating dominant O-linemen) made that possible.  Now, EveryTeam has a training table and weight rooms that rival or exceed what Nebraska had in the 90's....... it's parity, and it's here to stay.
