Nebraska - Nevada Game Day Thread

of CSU. I'd like to see them win this game even though I picked CSU.

We need the Big 12 North to win every non-conference game possible.

is driving on their opening drive, down to the seven yard line.

CSU's defense looked awful, either that, or CU is doing well on offense. Cody Hawkins quarterback, nice accuracy, threading the ball between two defenders for the second TD.

beating Michigan 28-14?

At this point, ASU's qb is 7/7 for 129 yards and 3 TD's. Wow!

CU - CSU at 14-14.

The defenses are finally doing their jobs. .30 seconds left in the first half.

did a nice job on their two-minute offense, especially after the first play when getting the ball was a sack.

CU goes up with a field goal 17-14.

halftime.

It's half time at Ann Arbor, too, where Appalachian State leads Michigan 28-17.

Wow. Just simply wow. It'd be understandable if Michigan were a mediocre team, but they're highly ranked!

is struggling.

The right tackle just left ECU's defensive end go free at his quarterback. Turnover, VT only leads this game 10-7.

goes up, great pass play to the tight end, who drug the CU defender with him into the end zone.

Now CSU does an on-side kick and recovers.

goes right down the field and scores.

This doesn't bode well for CU. CSU scores on a run up the middle - about 15 yards - in which it looked like there was no one in the middle of the field for CU.

of this game.

Their defense is all over the field. CU isn't doing much. Mighty Mo better get back on the Buff side, otherwise, they're sunk.

Michigan is making their way back into the game due to a turnover from App State.

31-26 - into the fourth quarter, App State leading. If they get one more touchdown, Michigan is in real trouble.

CU had picked up momentum, stopping a fourth down play at midfield. Then on the next play, they try a fle-flicker and get it picked off.

Michigan has gone for it, and not made it with around 7 minutes left. App State still leads 31-26 into the fourth quarter. One more score and they may put this one away.

CSU still leading CU 28-25, CU sporadic on offense. 4:45 left, 4th quarter.

With Nebraska - Nevada.

Looks like Michigan is going to pull their game out, which isn't that big a surprise. CU-CSU still a dogfight, but no riots yet.

3rd and 9.

Comes on the first series. I guess they got that one out of the way early.

looked pretty shaky on that first drive. Big penalty on Nevada. Here come the blackshirts.

Nevada is looking real bad with 3 straight penalties.

this is not looking real good.

doesn't look good for NU.

already having an impact. Forcing a punt, now.

Nunn return, block in the back, Nebraska.

We'll start inside the five.

penalty. you dont do that

lead 7-0 over Wisconsin in the 1st.

hell is the o-line? They are not playing up to your billing Jon.

already in the game for a play at 8:10

like to see Keller throw one down field. We are starting to look better.

looks like he's not looking around much.

Holt on a long one, interference.

Holt and Castille already.

but a good one.

calls already.

last one was pretty close, maybe not be called.

looking better... but have had help with the penalties.

he can hit the wide open man...Lucky for the TD and we take the lead....

there you go.

Nice drive, 94 yards, 12 plays. Lucky with the reception and no one on him.

Cool!

on the kick off. Not an overly long kick.

puts a huge Best Buy ad right over a reply when they're trying to describe it?

so far no pressure and not very good coverage. I thought the d would be better then what they have been showing. and Now Steve O. gets in there and the reciever has a d back all over him.

now Grixy returning.

spread it around.

Long pass and Nunn drops it. Damn!

you have to make that catch.

Hardy does it again. I do not like that guy. He drops more passes....and now fumbles.

Nunn drop, Hardy fumble.

First game jitters, or what?

He looked like he never really had that ball. Yeah, they'll review that, it's not a completion.

ever caught it, but wont bitch if they call it a fumble. It is to close not to.

the ball fairly well on this drive.

Time for a turnover, sack.

out....

That sucks. That's one area we don't want to lose anyone. Hope it's not serious.

First quarter done.

that call on 4th down should have gone against us.

last unranked team to beat Nebraska - I'll say Florida State in 1980, 1982.

I think 1980

with Lucky slipping all over the place?

is moving the ball well.

We're hitting the guys wide open.

two Nevada guys hit each other... dropped pass.

Not a good way to start the year. Sorry but Keller is not living up to the hype

10-7 Nevada now.

we are not looking sharp to start this game.

needed a big kick return

is blowing holes in nevada's defensive line now.

score on this drive. punch it in.

pound the rock.

score the next play. Lucky up the middle.

pounding the ball, man.

yehaaaa.....

that was a statement, man.

that was a kick. Holy shit

1977, last unranked home opener loss.

maybe that says something about the level of competition?

the Nebraska book I have right in front of me that answer is wrong.

that was a TD. he has to make that INT.

has learned you don't try a field goal on the one foot line!

yay!

We score. This Castille kid looks good!

Castille has impressed me so far but he is about the only one. Why wont BC run a qb sneak? he hasn't ran one since he got here.

already look more special than last year.

Kunalic looks great. two touchbacks now!

we are starting to look like a Husker team

by Murillo.

hell, should have just tackled him.

Keller hasn't looked very sharp in his first half at a Husker.

The offense has looked pretty decent, though, the defense fairly good.

Special teams look much more special than last season.

A little rough, but a good first half.

sitting with a Michigan fan for a little while now and giving him more crap then he can handle. God its fun

from Doug Flutie - we don't look like a good football team now, we'll have trouble beating out missouri.

mizzou is ahead 23-6 over Illinois at the half.

Georgia Tech beating up on Notre Dame. Ha!

with ND - "that's not a Charlie Weis offense'. Bah

I can't stand Weis.

have I said that yet?

probably coming back on holding call. Damn

fullback!

or H-back.
whatever.

play-action now. we can pound them in this game.

there you go!

Lucky with 141 yards rushing and its still in the third. Hope we see some backups in the 4th. Yeah I know its not out of reach but lets get some guys ( Ganz for one) some playing time when it matters so they will be ready.

we're in charge. Get Sam some work.

this Kunalic kid. Huge asset.

HUGE! Asset!

by a big defensive lineman!

Dixon! whooeee.

okay, this is a butt-kicking.

swap in offensive line rotation.

let's see Roy Helu in the backfield.

That would have been good by a lot further the 46.

that was an 80 yard kick.

Who?

Who the hell cares?

Kunalic - huge asset. have I said that already? Have I?

Whoeee!

How many games did that cost us last year? Oh, they're discussing it now.

Your kicker is good.  That's huge to have a consistent touchback from the 30-yard-line on kickoffs.

Other than that, what do you think?  Looks like Callahan is staying fairly conservative, and Marlon Lucky has had a nice day, but Sam Keller's numbers are pretty ordinary right now.  No matter what, better opening day than Michigan!

was that the first sack or did I miss one.

yeah. man.

Oeee.

Now get him out of the game.

Nice to see Joba's dad. What a great story.

We are kicking ass.

I think it is time to see Ganz and Mendoza. We dont need Lucky, Keller, or Castille hurt so lets bench them. Well maybe let Castille play a little more but lets see some other guys.

finally playing? What the heck is going on.

Joe Ganz in the fourth quarter.

Roy Helu in the backfield.

run for a TD.

Whoeee!

Wow. That's great to see.

Henery looks like he's about 15 years old, doesn't he?

My brother in Dallas just called and says they've cut away to the Boston College - Wake Forest game.

think they want a bunch of calls from Husker fans if they cut away here in Nebraska.

return by jones.

from what I have seen it doesn't appear that we lose much by bringing in Ganz.

you get to see Helu. Is Mendoza not playing? He may redshirt.

we should have scored. Let the young man run it in and make his day. Might be the only chance he gets to score a TD in his career. That would be a shame if he never got another chance.
