Since when does Phillips stand right by FItz and talk to him during the game? Talk about having your boss peering over your shoulder.

Matt Millens head should be surgically removed and connected to a coffee maker so he can talk to you every morning

What strategic purpose was just served by not using a timeout? I'm serious - I am trying to come up with one.

So... I take it we're a tad bit upset with Fitz about now.

Brutal clock management and bad decision to go on 4th and a long 2on your side of the field. Have no idea what FItz was thinking. These decisions are keeping an inferior Nebraska team in this game.

I really want a defense to that no-timeout decision. I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt on a lot of coaching calls, but what the hell?

Great job Fitz. You don't trust your FG kicker from outside 40, but you let the clock run out to try an even longer FG.

Boy, even 5 more yards would have been nice. Too bad we didn't have any time!

How many points do we get for saving that timeout? That’s worth something, right? Must be.

That was all on Fitz. We are playing some braindead football today. We should be blowing this team out.

Also, yes, I know it was only one kick, but let's stop wondering why Fitz doesn't want Charlie kicking past 40 yards yet. Those decisions, I support him on. Whatever that clock crap was there is baffling, even for NU.

Fitz will learn how to manage end of half/game situations eventually. He's still young. :)
