NWU VS NU 12ND HALF GAME THREAD!

[orclover11]

Matt Rhule is texting his buddy at Penn State that he is the first coach in 10 years to lead Nebraska to back to back bowls. He is a true program builder.

Didn't get bailed out by the zebras on a drive for once = no soup for Northwestern.

Too bad.

I’m really shedding tears, not now if it was kkk he would have gotten the call

Glad we got the win and are Bowl eligible. Don’t like saying this but I predict that is the last win of the regular season.

The next four teams won’t let us overcome our sloppy play that we always do throughout each game.

 

[BigB87]

So...

1. Yes, Marshall did hold.

2. No, it doesn't bother me. With all the calls NW got all day, I don't feel remotely bad about us getting one.

 

[Baxter48]

As far as im concerned this was a wash. Refs failed with some against us and one big one against NW.

Like the phantom first down that wasn’t

That's exactly the one I was thinking of!

Maybe they can steal a win against Ucla. Maybe.

While I think UCLA could be our best chance to win out of the 4 remaining games, we aren’t a good road team and UCLA has a dual threat QB that will run wild on our D. Top to bottom, UCLA has better athleticism and their coaching staff is much better without their HC.

Impossible to predict any games going forward...they will all be close. Today we were outgained, they dropped a ton of passes, we have a KO for a td when our offense was struggling and they dropped a pass that turned into an INT and a TD with a short field. We had the terrible call that gave them a td. They had a hold that ended a likely game winning drive. One thing is that players are playing at very young ages now, backups are worse prepared than ever, there is almost no continuity on teams, and there are massive momentum shifts, and very few teams are good.

That was a fair trade for the god-awful 4th down spot NW got on their 2nd TD drive. That abomination of a call was a game changer. NU should have had the ball up 21-6.

Nebraska is going to get one of those “oops, sorry we screwed up” letters from the B1G this week.

 

[Spectrumalaska]

I was tuned in until the end.

Go Big Red

 

[TheRealPeliniTheCrutch]

Is he really our best cover guy as the announcers said?

Absolutely not. Wright is.

 

[cubsker15]

We probably lose if Shavers isn't playing today

Was a big part of why we struggled on D vs minny

 

[HuskerNationOhio2]

Maybe we can steal a win against USC, UCLA, Penn St and Io_a. F k it, let’s go 10-2.

enjoy the win.

One game at a time. Keep getting better everyday.

GBR!
