well that call to start the game for us today sure as hell didn't help us today. It was ALL uphill for us after that start
Exactly. I think the Husker psyche is so fragile that a bad call at the start of the game puts them mentally in a funk. How many of us thought the Huskers would be able to stop Illinois after Illinois managed to retain the ball following the 2nd half punt fiasco? I yelled at my wife who was hiding in another room, "Watch! Illinois will go down and score". They did. Husker players mental insecurities are so palpable they practically exude from the TV.
Lets all hope Scott does not lose this team. I am really worried about the Iowa game. Way this team has been playing it could get ugly.
(I want to go on record that I find ZERO delight in writing about all this bad play and terrible losses. I would much rather be writing about Luke running for 115 yards and passing for 225 yards than this crap)
