Texas 13, Nebraska 12 (final)

The longer this goes on you know what happens...pressure builds on the heavy favorite.

Despite my earlier post, I find myself rooting for Nebraska even though the thought of Cincinnati possibly sneaking into the NC game nauseates me.

I'm in the same boat

Lots of great D tonight. Coach Tressel would be pleased!

 

[Evan]

wow, sick catch by Malcolm Williams

 

[buckeyemania11]

that was a really stupid pass interference

no way he catches that

 

[Evan]

I thought there was no penalty for faceguarding in College?

 

[Jaxbuck]

I'm in the same boat

+2

The UC situation trumps all for me on this one. I was still trying to wish them well today until one of my cousins called up running his suck. Fuck em now, I am 100% against anything good happening to that program again.

Ever.

On Pellini's future prospects: Much really depends on his ability to build a complete team. After all, when he went from LSU to Nebraska the sum of it was like this; Great motivator - he was a past favorite, among the then players, to be retained after Solich's ouster. Superb Defensive coach, simply superb - and he certainly has lived up to that billing, dragging the Blackshirts out of the mire and returning them to their historical position of dominance. Lastly, there was a huge question mark over his ability to lure top-flight talent - on the offensive side of the ball.

In all fairness, till he demonstrates the ability to fulfil that last, essential, job requirement - by rebuilding a still moribund Nebraska Offense - he should expect no urgent calls to go anywhere except the NFL, as a Defensive Co-ordinator.

good chance that kickoff goes out of bounds

If UT wins and they play like this vs Alabama, they will get destroyed.

I think I'd root for Texas even without UC. They've become my second-favorite team over the past few years.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Nebraska is going to have to get a pick 6/fumble 6/punt return/kickoff return some sort of non defensive TD

this offense is pathetic

 

[EidoloN]

I totally agree, NU is disgusting on O.

 

[TDG]

Nebraska should really just punt on first down and try to win the field position battle to the point where they can kick a FG or get points from their defense.

Glad to see I'm not the only idiot who bet the over.

If Texas does win out tonight, what does that say about their prospects vs. Alabama? Out of the frying pan and into the fire - this time vs. a team with pulse on Offense.
