This late in the season there is nothing that kid could do to piss me off. Stud.

Interesting... I read some post earlier that suggested "a big back on the 3 deep should be chomping at the bit to go in on a goal line situation..." Yet a key player didn't seem to be chomping at the bit to help the team put one in the endzone with the game on the line... Again if he was hurt I retract my statement...

He tapped out earlier supposedly with an injury. Hopefully it was nothing serious. The kid has been money all year and had some big catches for us today. He got clobbered on a Martinez overthrow on the sideline on one play.

It looked like at the end he had some equipment issues with his helmet...not sure about what happened there.

My opinion. He tapped out a couple plays earlier after he made a catch probably tired. NU called a TO and went to there red zone offense like they always do with two TEs and Betts and Manning at WR.(Big guys). Tourre didn’t realize they switched packages and had to come out.

4th and 20 and you're putting your big guys in there. The play worked, our guy was open, their guy interfered, not sure what there is to complain about there other than the officiating.

It’s a lot more likely that a 6’8 TE is gonna catch a jump ball than a 5’9 receiver. Tourre isn’t running past anybody when half the defense is in the end zone!

I said before the fourth down play it should either go to Betts or Allen. Manning is a popular choice, but he seems to drop a lot of catches. Betts seems to make that tough catch in much tougher situations. Allen is probably #2 in that situation. I was happy Betts was the guy he threw to on the play. It was probably pass interference. So be it.

Having a 4th and twenty is plenty to complain about. 3 plays prior to that no attempt was made to shorten the distance... That is my complaint

Exactly. Was it pass interference? Yes. But refs tend to swallow the whistle on those plays because they’re afraid of making that call.

The real problem is Frost panicked after the holding penalty. We still had an eternity to get those 21 yards with three timeouts. The guy who couldn’t help himself from calling QB draws every other play last year has suddenly refused to call them. Shoulda ran that once, maybe twice in those final four plays.

He threw a 10 yard pass the play before. Adrian missed him. Sometimes I wonder if you guys are watching the same game I am.
