Huskers

No link. I'm just that irritated (AAARRGGHH!) by the alma mater. It's pretty apparent that NU isn't perhaps as good as advertised, nor KU as bad. On the plus side, NU got some early turnovers and jumped out to a nice halftime lead (24-10) on some real nice big pass plays.

On the bad side, we let the opposition get back into the game and if it weren't for some egregious errors (fumble at the goal line, int in the endzone) on their part, we would have lost. The defense never got any real pressure on the KU QB, who I think should probably be the starter over goldilocks Meier.

We didn't move the ball in the second half until it was almost too late, and as a result, the Blackshirts were out on the field most of the second half AGAIN. Fortunately, they got a good blow in OT as Taylor's pass to Swift at the goal line was reviewed multiple times. The play should have been ruled a TD in my book, but Glenn scored the next play anyway.

next up: Iowa State

Can we win? Maybe, but we'd damn well sure better play a better game on both sides of the ball than we did last night. Prediction? It could be a pinball contest unless Coz lets the D rush the QB.
