Cobby's Happy Thought for the Week is that it looks like Cody Glenn, Phillip Dillard and Ricky Thenarse are going to play. Having Glenn and Dillard out for a week allowed for the 'discovery' of Matt Holt. That's not so bad for the long run.

Did someone grease the ball?
Two fumbles in 3 plays?

Make that...
3 fumbles in 4 plays.

Where's the stick 'um???
On that Swift catch, that should have been ruled incomplete. He never had control of it, it was bouncing around his face mask when he got hit.

Niles Paul has great moves
but his hands need work…

Hmmm... I think that's a fumble...
…not a good start…
by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 11:45 AM CDT up reply actions
But now we've got to figure out how to hold onto the ball in the shadow of the goal posts...
Good defensive start… Need help from the o-line
by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 11:50 AM CDT up reply actions
Good defensive series at least
good coverage on the pass

and the reward
Is terrible field position

Whistle blows...
…you don’t drive the guy into the endzone like that..

nice hole
way to find the open field

Did they just say
That Nebraska runs the spread?
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 11:53 AM CDT reply actions
All the receivers
are doing a great job of getting WIDE open
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 11:54 AM CDT reply actions
Starting on the 20...
Best field position of the game!

Well, that stinks
Let’s get another stop, then
Got Corn?

I thought he was gonna be short
nice second effort

Again...
…good job getting open by receivers, Ganz for finding them

TOUCHDOWN!!!!
Lucky off the option
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 12:24 PM CDT reply actions
I'm assuming
he’s at the game
ISU is the closest road game to where he lives, and he tries to go every time we’re in Ames
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 12:26 PM CDT up reply actions
I think he said it wasn't likely
If he’s not here, I’m guessing he found some single-game tickets
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 12:31 PM CDT up reply actions
We need to keep one alive...
and it’s better that it’s CB’s consecutive games in Ames than my consecutive games with a freak injury at Memorial Stadium (Currently at 3)
Got Corn?

Another 3 and out...
Good near-pick by Potter…
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 12:33 PM CDT reply actions
Just got a text message...
…Corn Blight got a free ticket, and headed to Ames last night. Even stayed at the team hotel last night, apparently.
Paul
Delivers a heck of a stiffarm…

That's coming back
block in the back

Two quick penalties on ISU...
Have there been any flags on Nebraska yet?

Another good drive
until that fumble

Milk cartons in College Station
Have pictures of Defense on them…27-23 Tech

And ISU cracks the board
67 Yard TD run accounts for almost all of ISU’s offense for the game
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 1:22 PM CDT reply actions
Need a nice steady drive here...
…take the momentum back, and let the defense have a chance to adjust to what ISU just threw at ’em…
Crap...
Was that a sack on a 2-man rush?
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 1:27 PM CDT reply actions
What a horrible block by Murtha...
Three man rush, but it was keyed by Murtha’s attempt at a pillow fight. The ISU defensive end blew in on Ganz, and Ganz was forced into the sack.
Whoah!
The receiver was pulling Murillo down on that one…
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 1:33 PM CDT reply actions
That's the third time in the last 4 possessions
That ISU’s thrown 3rd down passes that had pretty much no chance of getting a 1st down. That’s high-quality, Bill Callahan play calling

Whoops...
This game brought to you by Ol Roy’s Ball Grease and Lube

I'd have liked to have seen another replay or review of that Petersen fumble...
I’m not sure he had possession…
On the ISU fumble, we needed to see that last Versus review about 5 minutes sooner; we’d have saved about 4 minutes of waiting. The ISU public address announcer got to play an entire Bon Jovi song while waiting for the play to be confirmed….
I agree on the Peterson fumble
But the officials apparently don’t want to review consecutive plays
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 2:07 PM CDT up reply actions
Finally...
managed to get a stop…
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 2:11 PM CDT reply actions
Now, let's take momentum back with a nice long TOUCHDOWN drive...
Slow and steady down the field, like in the first half…
For that matter
a sustained drive might simply kill the clock
Got Corn?
by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 2:14 PM CDT up reply actions
Well, that was an amazing break...
…brought to you by the folks at Roy’s Ball Grease and Lube

Has anyone else lost audio on VS?

That one was a clean tackle

I fully expect
An OSU letdown the weak after a big win…

This is what I like to see
Balance on offense, aggressiveness on defense.
Need to work on holding on to the ball, though. And what is up with 3rd Quarters and this team?
