Just watching part of the reason this team continues to disappoint.

Are you okay with 17-0 and not playing wisely to continue to score?

17-0 at halftime?? You cant be serious. Are you watching two tight? Fullback?? Loading the box on d ??  Again, are you playing Madden?? You get the ball the second half. I just cant anymore. 

 
Iowa has held 9 of 11 teams below what we scored in the first half... for entire games.

Scoring on this D isn't a given.

Are you a new fan?   Just catching up on the last five years?

Then please don't.

 
The next series will determine if we win or not. We drive it down their throats, its over

Living in the past is good. Have fun with that. Been here the last 20. Nice work!

 
For those whining about clock management, in that situation when NU got the ball back at their own 10 with 4 minutes left, the goals of that drive are:

1.  Get enough first downs to run the first half out, and not give the ball back to Iowa. That was accomplished. 
 

2. Get into field goal position. Thompson had a first down pass, nullified by an offensive holding, or NU is in position to try for a FG.

3.  If possible, try to score 7, but not be super risky with turnovers or getting Casey injured.

I believe because the defender made contact and hit the player to go slightly back and then out of bounds is why the clock did not stop. Offensive player has to have personal forward momentum when going out to stop clock

 
Basically, if we don't have a really bad turnover or some special teams gaffe we should win, but any big event like that could cause the typical Nebraska downfall snowball effect.

on the catch where our WR was pushed out of bounds..shouldn't the clock have stopped after the play?

Palmer turned back into the field and got hit stopping his forward momentum.  He should have stepped out immediately. That was on him. He has to be more aware of the situation. But maybe he was figuring coach had timeouts to use.
