Oregon won this game 17-7.

That first half TD for Debbie was a blown call AND review.
I wasn't sure that last TD for Nebraska was legit either. From my understanding of the rule, the pylon is out of bounds in FBS unlike the NFL. He then fumbled it as well, which again from my understanding of the rules, that would have then been a touchback and possession would go to Oregon.

I don't really know the rules, but seems like nowadays that ball control through landing after a dive or a tackle is paramount, especially on scoring plays. So didn't understand how it was allowed that the pylon knocked the ball out of his hands and it wasn't ruled a fumble.

Yes, the ball was literally on top of the pylon. I don't understand how they could call that a TD. Refs have been terrible lately. Look at the Notre Dame game. Could've had DPI, and to top it off there was one second on the clock after the incompletion and the refs ended the game.

Dude mentions Iowa within 3 minutes of starting saying they want to beat us the most. We are forever their super bowl.
I’m pretty sure that if you asked ChatGPT to generate a picture of a Husker football fan, that dude is exactly what it would spit out. Wearing a backwards hat with the 1990s “extreme” Huskers logo on it on a podcast for some reason. “Black Shirt” because their defense is so amazing. Only thing missing is something on the shirt talking about all those national championships from 3 decades ago.

"But in the final analysis, I had to evaluate where Iowa was." - Sean Eichorst Nebraska Athletic Director 2014

2015 (6-7)
2016 (9-4)!
2017 (4-8)
2018 (4-8)
2019 (5-7)
2020 (3-5)
2021 (3-9)
2022 (4-8)
2023 (5-7)
2024 (7-6)
2025 (7-6)

I think they need to do a better job of evaluating.

"Most people really want to beat Iowa the most this year, but it became pretty clear to me the second most important game that people wanted to win this year was Oregon." You got to love it. Let's say we lick our wounds with the prospect of beating the Hawks.
