NU
ran it successfully earlier this year and so is everyone else so its not new anymore and teams are looking for it. Just stupid really.
Oh my god

this has been our game to lose, coming back after going down 14-0 early.
Go Big Red Nebraska!
Our Cobs Are Bigger Than Yours!
Corn Nation!
well
we have to play better on both sides of the ball and we need some better play calling. Dont take out Helu either. He is kicking ass.
we'll
get the ball to start the second half.
CU’s 24 points is about as much as they score in a whole game, so maybe the’y’re done.
Go Big Red Nebraska!

Colorado
has had only 17 plays…… man……
