I'm not sure what the deal was with the kicker being on the field during the halftime show, I've been to a lot of different games in many different stadiums and I've never seen anything like that before. I doubt it was done as a slight to you guys, but you never know I guess. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what exactly Bo is thinking.
As far as Husker fans accusing you guys of running up the score, that's pretty much confined to a small segment of our fan base that clearly has a severe case of being butt hurt. This thread on Husker Max does a good job of showing how 95% of Husker fans feel about that.

A summary:
1. A guy named Big Red Ohio starts a thread "Urban Meyer is classless"
2. Claims Urban Meyer has no integrity for running that last play, says several Ohio St. fans around him agreed with this.
3. Husker fans eat him alive, these are the first 6 posts on the thread that weren't his.
In short, almost no one cares about this, and the small minority that do are being made fun of by the majority that don't.
Looks like you guys will have scoreboard on us until next year's Big Ten championship game at a minimum, although I fear it will be longer than that before we have a chance to get you back, and not because I think you guys will have any trouble getting there next season. We appear to be a mess right now. :(
Anyways good game, and good luck the rest of the year. Hopefully you guys can win out and show the nation that the Big Ten has at least one good team this year.
