5 plus years have left me jaded. Despite all the ridiculousness of this game, I’m happy for MJ doing something Fraud could never do! At least one streak has finally ended!

Busch saved Mickey and Whipples asses!

Busch is the man!!!

Sad that win #4 is so big to them but it's better than losing.. again....

It’s frigging Iowa that’s why.

Without Javin Wright we might have ended 2

Losing to a team that maxed out in 1993 is embaressing. Pull out the 93 starter jackets to recall the good times. 3-8 isn't bad fellas, good work.

Should’ve been about 45-14. Amazing how we can go into a shell.

Some embarrassing Nebraska fans in here

Thank goodness Iowa’s offense was less than mediocre this year.

Up three scores in the 4th quarter, my son said no way Nebraska loses this. Then Nebraska decided to Nebraska the game, and suddenly Iowa has the ball with a chance to tie. The Huskers were preparing to pee down their legs like usual, but happy they pinched it off at the last second to get the win.

Not sure who that is??

Kind of a bad play there. Jebus we look like we don’t understand football at all

If we would have run a simple naked bootleg at any point of the 4th Q, CT would still be running (despite how slow he is)…

 

[regionsdoc]

At least we stopped the clock only to give it back. Stupid **** coaches

The players are begging MJ to go for it on 4th and 1 inch. Nothing to lose. A simple QB sneak should get it 99 percent of the time. And we punt. NU won, but that was a terrible decision by MJ, and exemplifies the losing attitude in the entire program.

Dropped 2 easy INTs. Nickel playing because of injuries. Toby Wrights kid. He’s missed a lot of time due to blood clots

You HAD to punt there. HAD to

I agree. Had we gone for it and didn’t get the 1st down, the game would have gone to OT. Iowa had the momentum and would have scored a TD with a such a short field.

one inch. ONE INCH. Analytics say you have to go for it. A competent program goes for it and knows they can get it. I understand the other side of the argument. I do. But not going for it demonstrates how little confidence the program has in any player/coach succeeding in crunch time. Palmer was screaming for a reason—he’d seen that movie before. O goes in a shell, and D doesn’t get a stop.
