Nebraska Vs USC - Game Day Thread

early games are ending. lots of duds. even the Michigan State - Pitt game seemed pretty boring, and it wasn't a half-bad game.

first snap by the Irish goes over Clausen's head to the foot line.

by Michigan is a fumble.

of second series for Irish is a fumble by Clausen, Michigan recovers.

beats Iowa!

15-12. How long will Kirk Ferentz last there?

on the Steve Pederson thing.  I have a lot of family and friends in Nebraska, and I don't know many people who like Pederson.  A few genuinely hate him, and the rest are indifferent at best.

I heard this week there was some chatter about the new Tunnel Walk, and Pederson essentially said "It's great, people need to get over it."  That's not really the way to win people over, especially in Nebraska.

Good luck tonight, by the way.  I'll be watching.

it's that if we get beat, it won't be by Central Florida, or Citadel, or Ohio, or the Buffalo Bulls.

Holy cow, there's a lot of sucking going on out there.

i'm here. i'm kind of ready.

I'm hoping I can still type. I'm wearing red. I'm hyperventilating.

shit.

leads 10-0.

Texas barely wins over UCF.
Wisconsin struggles with The Citadel.

There's a thread here.

here we are.

did you see that UCLA is getting smoked by UTAH? 34-6 with 10:00 minutes left. And aTm is only up 10-7 over LA Monroe.

click on the autorefresh will that refresh the page everytime someone post? I have it clicked but not sure if it is working or not.

he's still looking at his receivers. shit.

with the drop. imagine that.

there was no blocking there and we have to punt. Shit not what we needed. Lets go blackshirts.

special teams.

have them trapped and cant tackle a striaght middle run

was like walking through butter.

4 plays, 95 yards.

f*ing ouch.

well. shit.

97 yards and a td. That is fucking ridiculas...If this continues I will be screaming for BC and SP head.

this is fucking crazy.

the play in faster? you just came off the sidelines and should have had the play already. fuck this sucks.

screen pass.

this is what we need. a good drive and some good confindence building plays.

by swift. great great catch.

UCLA loses.44-6

coming up here. We need this first down and need it bad. If we dont make it can our kicker make the fieldgoal? We need points out of this drive one way or another.

so far, it's a 42-0 game.

it's too f'in bad we let the first series go like it did. looks liek we're settling down now.

we needed the first time.

if we can get a score here we have a different game.

pass to Purify. Why didn't Sam look this good last week?

slant pass there.

for the first down. Use the big man.

well....

it's a mix that we haven't seen before so far. i thought we'd just run.

we're throwing well.

look like we are ready to play now. Maybe just nerves that first series or over hyped. Nice play to Swift.

it to Glenn up the middle and get the first.

penalty and a FIRST DOWN.

delay of game defense.
what a screw up.

the heavy set
run that SOB into the end zone.

we need Glenn for the td

Cody Glenn. and we have a ball game........

has come back.

and there you go.

the crowd is still alive.

the game is still alive.

go cornhuskers!!!

i hate usc.

dont let them do this again.

1st quarter - 7-7

complaints?

and it is a tie game. Wow I cant believe it. I hope the d comes back a little more fired up. We need a quick stop now and a new drive for the O.

cant give that big a cushion on 3rd and 6. Should have known what was coming.

and now we will get the ball back.

up only 2 on Kentucky. Herbstriet picked Kentucky.

for the first down.

and thorw it to the wide-pen tight ened.

i'm happy

for now.

That was an amazing throw and right on the money.

get a td here it will be a whole new ball game. We at least need 3 but a td and the fucking place goes nuts for the rest of the half.

This is beautiful. It is. Nebraskans can appreciate this stuff, man.

Only a matter of whether we can keep it up.

But we're not patsies.

I dont like that call and I had been impressed with the play calling so far.

we are winning.

so far I have NUs score right. I would love to be wrong on USC and let the score stand this way the rest of the night.

by Henery. The guy that looks skinnier that your kids.

My neigbors are getting pissed off by trying to explain to them that Kunalic might kick hte logner ones.

that BC doesn't suddenly go very very conservative with us having a lead. I think we need to continue to play the way we have been.

we need to start getting those loose balls.

is stil in it. big deal

take this injury serious - hte guy is laying on the field too long

either get the cart out there, or do something else because right now ti looks like USC is f'ing around.

so who has the momentum when this game continues. NU had it after the field goal but USC got some back after the return. I think this favored NU. Let them catch their breath and collect their thoughts. Now go play.

maybe not. USC big gain.

dammit defense lets hit somebody.

should have had him in the backfield but instead its first and goal.

that was way to easy. D has to get stronger. Two scoring drives have been way to easy.

shit.

fullback scores.

dammit. poopy goo.

this it the series where we run run run punt

now the d needs to step up and play.

behind a guy.

shit.

grabbed his leg. Looks like a hamstring injury. I would bet he is done.

somebody tackle

3rd and long and he should not have gotten the first.

phillip dillard for making a tackle

go again. Straight up the middle and is that Brad Smith still running for mizzu?

gets a td it is over.

are we going to make an adjustment to stop the middle run? Its all they did the whole drive and we did nothing to even show we wanted to stop it.

we'll see.

what happens. we had momentum until that kikcoff return

are tied at 31 in the fourth. Ark had spotted bama 21 points but has come back.

at least try to score. or just let it run out and oh what the hell.

by USC to call time out and try to make us punt to get it back and score. Of course all they have to do is run two plays up the middle and they will score.

call that interference.

we run the ball to run out the clock and then call timeout with 2 seconds left? that is stupid

the problem isn't the defense.

the problem is the offense. I don't get why we had plenty of momentum, and then on two drives we died.

we were moving the ball fine in the air, and then Billy goes back to run run run and we're done done done.

that is what we need. Keller makes a big play.

we didn't need that

we still dont have an answer for the middle run. Unbelievable.

save this with a field goal on this drive.

right?

oh hell

was because of the middle run being so successful.

same thing wake Forest did to us.

it's offically an ass-kicking now.

no half time adjustments being made and they continue to run the same plays and we cant stop it. How much longer are we expected to put up with this horrible coaching. If we dont have the players as one suggested in another post then BC is not as good of recruiter as everyone says. This sucks.

like 35 will be enough for USC.

may not be enough.

i'm always an optimist

#1 - we're not there yet

#2 - Sam Keller has only one year with us.

#3 - is there hope?

adjustments either. We are running the same plays that we ran in the first half and USC has made adjustments to stop it. This is just unbelievable.

to the same play and that should have been picked off too. Run a different route maybe.

what i feared happened last.

USC dropped their DE into coverage and Sam Keller through the ball right into that area.

looking left, looking left, looking left, then throw the ball and have it bounce off a guy's head for an interception.

42-10 soon, in the 3rd quarter.

we have no answer.

for so much hype, there's going to be so much anger.

is us trying to throw the ball down the field more. Hardy had a couple of steps and drew an interference and Purify made a couple of good catches as did Swift. Throw it deep once and a while and open the slants back up.

beating Louisville 40-34. Can you say that Louisville doen't have better athletes then Kentucky? About the same difference as what we have in our game I would say and yet Kentucky has given itself a chance. That right there is a good example, third down and we throw to a reciever who isn't anywhere close to the first, he shouldn't have even been running that route.

its over lets see Ganz and the other back ups so we dont get anyone hurt and we give the other guys some playing time against the nations Number 2 team ( I think LSU is Number 1.).

are Keller and Glenn still playing? Its good to see Glenn but no Castille at all? Come on lets get some other guys in there.

has happened to Nunn? His hands are not anywhere close to what they used to be.

it's not the big 12 yet.

and i think it's fair to say that the entire b12 sucks, except for Oklahoma.

go for the onside kick

now

For what it's worth, I'm very impressed by the effort and heart the Huskers showed in this game - especially after going down so big.

I was one of the folks who had some serious questions about Nebraska after watching last week's game against Wake.  But congratulations on not giving up until the final whistle.

Good luck to the Corn Nation in B12 play from a Cal fan / alumnus.

Go Bears!
