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.

Great run

by Swift after that catch…

Nice recovery by McNeill...

…that could have been a killer…

Did someone grease the ball?

Two fumbles in 3 plays?

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 11:43 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Make that...

3 fumbles in 4 plays.

Got Corn?

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…

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 11:42 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I think

he was coming forward but it will be a tough call either way

by taflorom on Oct 18, 2008 11:46 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Good defensive series at least

good coverage on the pass

Got Corn?

and the reward

Is terrible field position

Got Corn?

Whistle blows...

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

Did they just say

That Nebraska runs the spread?

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 11:53 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

What a play by Swift!

Nice moves, and great dive into the end zone.

by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 11:57 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Nice stick by Murillo...

Fundamentals are starting to show out there…

by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 12:03 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Starting on the 20...

Best field position of the game!

Got Corn?

Well, that stinks

Let’s get another stop, then

Again...

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

TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Lucky off the option

Got Corn?

That

was a great run by Marlon

by taflorom on Oct 18, 2008 12:25 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Where the hell

is CB at anyone know???

by taflorom on Oct 18, 2008 12:25 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

No

he said he wasn’t going and it would be like the first time in 16 years or something like that.

by taflorom on Oct 18, 2008 12:27 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

Well

that would be good. Keep another NU streak alive!!!!LOL

by taflorom on Oct 18, 2008 12:33 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 12:35 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Another 3 and out...

Good near-pick by Potter…

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 12:33 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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…

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

Direct snap to Lucky

That's coming back

block in the back

Two quick penalties on ISU...

Have there been any flags on Nebraska yet?

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 12:50 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Another good drive

until that fumble

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 12:57 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

I like what I have seen so far except for the fumbles. We should have 35 points right now.

by taflorom on Oct 18, 2008 1:01 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Milk cartons in College Station

Have pictures of Defense on them…27-23 Tech

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 1:20 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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…

by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 1:26 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Crap...

Was that a sack on a 2-man rush?

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 1:27 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 1:29 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Whoah!

The receiver was pulling Murillo down on that one…

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 1:33 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Needed a replay there, Versus...

VS looks almost as bad as FSN at times…

by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 1:36 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 1:40 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

C'mon!

We need a stop here!

Got Corn?

Whoops...

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

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 1:56 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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….

by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 2:05 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

Finally...

managed to get a stop…

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 2:11 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Nice kick...

…nearly split the trombone section…

by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 2:11 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Now, let's take momentum back with a nice long TOUCHDOWN drive...

Slow and steady down the field, like in the first half…

by Husker Mike on Oct 18, 2008 2:12 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

Well, that was an amazing break...

…brought to you by the folks at Roy’s Ball Grease and Lube

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 2:17 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

That one was a clean tackle

if he’d have had the ball

Got Corn?

Nice drive by the O Line

Nearly pushed that into the end zone.

TOUCHDOWN!!!

Wow!!!

What a run by Helu!

I fully expect

An OSU letdown the weak after a big win…

Got Corn?

by huskerlibrarian on Oct 18, 2008 2:41 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

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?
