With all these big time blue blood programs changing coaching staffs there are going to be a lot of really good OCs available if Braun wants to sack Lujan.

Win or lose...gritty game here. Remove "Northwestern" from the equation - you're down to your 4th string tailback with a mid-QB in treacherous weather and you're within a score of your rival at their senior day...

And now they are going back a play to review? Wtf?! The whistle was AFTER the play

That was like exactly the Nebraska play again

funniest possible outcome is we get the ball back with a chance to score and win/tie with plenty of time and have to prolong this

That seems so appropriate for this game. Somehow the refs go back a play to review a call. The call is upheld to give us a first down instead of second, then terrible throw interception.
