PrintNebraska still controls their own destiny with a big win over the Kanas Jayhawks!
And with this game, we can say good bye to Jayhawks Todd Reesing, Dezmon Briscoe, and my personal nemesis, Kerry Meier!
Zac Lee, Niles Paul, and Roy Helu all had a great game!!!! Nebraska had over 400 yards of offense, scoring more points than they had in the last three games!!!!
This is your post game thread for comments about the game (and for commenting on evening games).
Enjoy it Husker fans!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think he had one, but it wasn’t a game-determining drop, so I didn’t remember it very well. All his others that did matter he made. Plus some kick-ass special teams returns.
He went up and got them all......nothing in stride?

Game balls
Lee- played well enough to not make the move to Green.
Helu- Stud and a closer
Paul- Huge catches, and a sweet return.
Offense- no turnovers, and ended the long drive streak.

I love the fact that Nebraska won with the d-line coughing up a hairball. They’ll be better next week, Bo Pelini will be sure of that.
i would
have to go back and watch…. but at times they did the same thing they did earlier in the year – not rush upfield against a team doing a lot of draws.
other times, KU caught them up in twists.

Exactly, it’s reassuring to know that this team can actually win a game when their defense doesn’t force 5+ turnovers. Next week will be a different challenge, but KSU offers nothing offensively that KU can’t do better.

I honestly think K state keeps it close, next week, through 3 quarters but eventually succumb to Nebraska’s o-line and Helu runs rampant on their secondary, much like today.
I think the Colorado game is an absolute blowout, though. I can see NU rolling in “Sun Belt game” fashion. Last year’s game in Lincoln was an anomoly, and I think this year’s team will prove that.
I’m really up in the air about the Big 12 championship game, though. I have to see which Texas team shows up from here on out. If it’s the slow-to-start Texas (see: Wyoming and Colorado games) Nebraska could keep it close and win in OU/NU fashion. If it is slow-to-close Texas (see: Baylor game today) Nebraska will dominate them from beginning to end defensively. Texas’ quick-strike offense is extremely pass-heavy which either makes for a lot of big plays, or a lot of 3-and-outs. This defense usually only allows the latter.
So who knows.

how do we get them back

The D has improved and I think they can put a game plan together to compete with anyone.
However our offense is so sporadic,,,,you never know who is going to show up. Do we have a go to receiver Meir, Briscoe….for a first down.
We have one player HELU. I don’t care about the line…..its been the same crappy line for 6 years. Callahn got points out of it with 2 very good QB’s and maybe one good receiver in Purify…..otherwise….they have not had a single guy playing on Sundays (Hochstein?) I am talking about QB, WR, TE, RB.
If they were running the option that would not be a big deal….however we are not.

Face it, you're back.
Congrats from this Cyclone fan on stepping up and finally being a team that decides to lay the claim to the Big 12 North title. A decent, healthy, and Nebraska team should have enough talent not to get completely demolished by Texas.
And man, I bet we’re going to look on that 8 turnover fluke and laugh over the next few years, when you are slowly grinding our asses into the turf again on a regular basis. Yeah, good times.

Hey… let’s be real. Last year, we had Ganz, Swift, Peterson that ran that offense.
We lost them, plus Quentin Castille, and Matt Slauson. We lost Murtha, too, but I don’t think that was a very big loss.
We were bound to see a lot of drop off, it’s just that the offseason Nebraska media feeds us candy. Maybe I can be considered among that group because I edit a yearbook, but I’d rather not do that kind of stuff.

Texas rushed for 224 yards yesterday
and only 187 passing. Just FYI. Tre Newton finally is healthy after suffering a concussion against Colorado and it made a difference.
Against Baylor, no less...
Singe-handedly the greatest rushing defense college football has ever seen!
GBR!!!
Not saying Baylor is good defending against the run
But Texas had more yards rushing against Baylor than against similarly weak teams such as Colorado, and if you look at the stats, Texas rushed for a lot more yards before Newton’s concussion than after it (for example, 335 yards in the UTEP game, the game before CU). Just saying we have been able to run the ball, contrary to what Texas Husker said, and you can expect more of a running game with Newton back and Johnson improving.
I'm still
going with the idea that we can beat them if we get to the Big 12 title game.

I've always thought
that if a non BCS team goes undefeated, they deserve a shot at the title. C’mon, give everyone a chance. Thats why we need a playoff system. What you guys think???
i'm still not
for a playoff…. and it’s solely because of logistics.
I’m completely against having a playoff without home field advantage. And it won’t end up that way because they’ll want to mollify the bowl people.
So, no, not for a playoff.

DAMN u are old School....oh wait....PLAYOFF with HOME FIELD ABSOLUTELY.....you play all the first rounds at home and then Championship at BOWL

see
though, I don’t think they’d allow that at all.
plus…. all those presidents, chancellors and such. They enjoy that paid-for winter vacation for their families. And friends. And whomever else.
so…. careful what you ask for.

All rounds on home fields...
…except the championship game. College stadiums have bigger capacity than most bowl sites, and the logistics for transporting thousands of fans on one week’s notice simply don’t work.
but you know
damned well, they’ll never do that.

That’s nonsense

otherwise
if teams like Boise State, Utah, TCU, etc, want to be part of the “big boys”, they need to form a bigger conference……

Rumors from Bleacher Report say that Fresno State, Boise State, and Nevada are going to join the Mountain West and gain a conference championship game and an automatic BCS bid possibly as soon as next year.
GBR!!!

Playoffs would have a few conferences merging and no non conference games and playoff start
oh Hell I can send you an EXCEL spreadsheet of 2 or 3 options….does not matter….unless the a holes running the SEC, BIG 12, ACC, BIG 10 and PAC 10 are willing to change……money on the line aint happening anytime soon. What joke
I dont want them kicking our ass.....Iowa State already does that
They are worthy though and its Nice Town Fort Worth….its probably the closest thing to Lincoln in Texas

yeah
but…. take Baylor, for instance. Baylor doesn’t compete well in football, but they do in pretty much all other sports.
So…. you going to re-make the NFL in college?
Plus that… conferences goes way behind athletics. At least… in most schools.

I would leave the Big 12 the way it is....and most of the BIG ones.......that is what they are scared of
You would have to tweak the independents. WAC, MAC and Mountain…..otherwise the Big conferences dont need much changing to get a PLAYOFF for COLLEGE FOOTBALL. WE have a COLLEGE BASEBALL, VOLLEY BALL, SOFTABLL, SOCCER, WRESTLING, GOLF, BOWLING, BASKETBALL PLAYOFF……………geez how ridiculous is this ……the most watched College sport has no playoff
by Texas Husker on Nov 14, 2009 9:14 PM CST up reply actions
Why can't
they take the winner of every conference and have a bracket system to widdle them down to the final two. Then have them play for the Championship?? A few more games, and a little more money. Then have the bowl games for our pure enjoyment.
Thats my basic plan......and then USE the BCS to Rank them for home field etc and if there is a GREAT team that did not
win there conference then they get in with the BCS …..16 teams

except that if Clausen could have thrown it not like a hot air balloon, it’s a sure TD.

I know this is off the subject
but does anyone else notice how Hawkins looks so confused and lost on the sidelines?? How did Boise state become so good? Did he have anything to do with that???
Hawkins
is a good coach. I believe that. But at CU, things have just not worked out for him. Maybe it’s Boulder. Maybe it’s his son playing quarterback. Who knows. In a way, it’s sad. He has a lot of passion – you can’t say that this isn’t nearly killing him. But if you don’t have momentum, you have nothing in recruiting.
