BIG sack there, that could have saved them the game.

 

[Nutriaitch]

make the tackle, don't just try to strip it

 

[buckeyboy]

If OU scores here, I highly doubt the Husker O will answer.

 

[Nicknam4]

Can nebraska score a fieldgoal this drive?

 

[Emperor Brutus]

Well Henery is almost automatic, so it won't take much to get that FG back, the question is can they get the touchdown instead?

 

[jlb1705]

OK, so Nebraska was going to run a fake and were foiled by the Oklahoma TO.

I have to ask, why not make Zac Lee the up-back on that play instead of putting him in as a gunner and sending him in motion? Pelini was on the sideline bitching at his team to snap the ball, but when they put Lee on the edge and sent him in motion they turned it into a slow-developing play and showed their hand. That was the real mistake on that play IMO, especially since it appeared they intended to give him the ball at the up-back position anyway.

Nebraska crosses midfield running the Wildcat with Burkhead...

 

[Mike80]

wow

 

[daddyphatsacs]

Nebraska just looks like a Big Ten team. I really look forward to having them in our conference. They play a great brand of football.

 

[Bill Lucas]

And Burkhead throws a terrible pass.

 

[buckeyemania11]

THROW THE BALL AWAY MARTINEZ

jeez

 

[Mike80]

what the hell was that?

 

[jlb1705]

Burkhead throws deep out of the Wildcat, and it was nearly a disaster.

Twice.

Ultimately this falls on Martinez's shoulders. I have a hard time blaming a RB for being a sorry QB when he's only in that position in the first place because the regular QB isn't getting it done.

 

[NFBuck]

Martinez nearly loses another fumble. Don't they have anybody better?

Bump. If I was a Nebby fan, I'd pee down my leg everytime Martinez touched the ball.

 

[jlb1705]

3rd down, Huskers need a stop...
