- Under the Hood Statistical Comparison Between the Teams - done by BON this week.
- This morning on ESPN's College GameDay - Kirk Herbstreit gave Nebraska a 0% chance of winning this game. Lee Corso moved it to 1%. I'd have to concur with Corso.
- Which leads me to ask Husker fans - are you going to watch this game anyway? Or are you planning on doing something else? I'll still be watching.
Please use this thread to discuss the Nebraska - Texas game and any other games you might be watching today.

Rutgers
I picked Rutgers, but it doesn't look like they can sustain their offense well enough to beat WVU.
Colorado ahead early 14-3, over Tech.

disappointing
Rutgers has sucked today.
The University of Illinois commercial is really dull.
I was hoping that Ball State would beat Illinois today, just because misery loves company, but that isn't happening.
I need to go get some beer.

all right
I'm already irritated with the announcing.....
portraying Callahan as if the fans are attacking him undeservedly.
Specifically, that he's handled it as well as he possibly can. I think he's handling it about as well as my eight year old son would if he were being attacked by the entire planet.
Buttheads.

Burkes
starting at right tackle in place of Lydon Murtha.
nice start to the game.

Nice
set of rushes on the first series, just couldn't maintain it.
Nice stop by defense on the first Texas series. Showed a little fire.

no passing
we're not passing.
just running.
okay, maybe we should throw the ball.

could
we ever throw the ball down field?
Ever?

No blitz
and McCoy gets 30 yards.
blitz and McCoy has to make a play.
by corn blight on Oct 27, 2007 3:11 PM CDT 0 recs
I like
the aggressiveness of the defense.
blitzing the heck out of McCoy. he's making some plays, though, that's okay.
I'd rather we fought all the way through it. If we're going to be a bad defense, then let it be, but not because we haven't made someone else work for it.
by corn blight on Oct 27, 2007 3:14 PM CDT 0 recs
Yeah
maybe we should have been trying some of this all year long. What a joke. Wait until the seasons lost until you try something different. Something that might actually work.

McCoy
isn't handling the pressure well anyway.
So we force Texas to a FG attempt.
so far, so good for the defense.
which they make.

Why wont
Lucky look for a hole? He just runs into the pile. Good god man.
by taflorom on Oct 27, 2007 3:19 PM CDT 0 recs
he's probably
been told to run forward instead of dance.
seriously, can the guy win? If he dances, he gets killed. If he runs forward, he gets killed.
Texas has a good dfensive line.
we're not going to beat them by running only

i'm not so sure
that replacing Lydon Murtha isn't going to be a great thing for this line.
Murtha hasn't ever come close to living up to his size or potential.

Keller
can't make a decision to save his life.
Throw the damned ball already.
he waits soooo long.

Why
not let Joe Ganz play a little then? It makes no sense to me. If they were so equal coming out of spring practice then why not give him a chance?

I just
figured out why we are running so much more then passing. I read somewhere that UT has a good run defense but not so much against the pass. BC always designs his playbook for a game to do what ever the defense does best.

pretty bad field position.

our
defense hasn't played too bad in this game.
they've had a sack, haven't given up much, have made some stops.
damned offense needs to be offensive.

We are
trying to strip it too much. Just need to tackle. He should have only had 2-3 yards not 10.

The
announcer just said he didn't think KC should change anything as we are making Texas earn everything. Well I haven't seen us change anything from the start of a game until the next game starts so I dont think that will be a problem. We will run this defense the whole game no matter what.

is there hope for this team?
Oh hell. Here I go.
Texas looks more lost than we do. That's okay with me. If we could just beat Texas I'd be very very happy because it would make up for their volleyball team kicking our volleyballer's ass this week.
I don't want us to lose the rest of our games. I want us to go to a bowl. I want the energy and the psyche of this team intact.
Hope, man. hope.

Don't
get ahead of yourself! If Cosgrove can bring himself to make a single adjustment--any adjustment--we have a chance. Mack is good enough to find some holes, but hopefully Callagrove can do some, uh, coaching.

new thread at BON
for anyone following over there.
http://www.burntorangenation.com/sto...
BTW, Peter Bean runs most of BON. I have a lot of respect for him. Notice that beginning his second-half thread he warns someone about blasting individual players and being banned for it.
That's classy. we can talk about football without resorting to name calling of college players.
Man, this is a game we can win. If we can hold on, it'd be sweet, man.

Cosgrove
against the spread.
He can't handle it. He just can't.

by corn blight on Oct 27, 2007 5:35 PM CDT 0 recs
and
there they go.
the spread. which is why Kevin Cosgrove has to be replaced.
There are so many spread offenses out there now that we cannot defend.
Cosgrove is outdated.

"If you can't figure out how to obsolete yourself, someone else will"

does
it get more obvious that at the end of the game Callahn is caling the plays?
our offense just fades.
what'd we run after that interception.
- middle left, bad blocking
- zone stretch right, heavy formation (as if they didn't know what's coming with a loaded right side)
- zero'ed in long fly route - off the mark
we needed a touchdown. a field goal. needed something.
