We run too much for Bell to win the Heisman, but I would love to see him be a three-time Big Ten First Teamer.

6.5 We're going to be very competitive next year, and his career stats will garner votes, like Crouch's did.

Love our wide receivers! Imagine this offense with 2009's defense!

We need revenge for the 1941 Rose Bowl loss to Stanford! Bring on the Peat Brothers Bowl! Having said that, we need to focus on Iowa!

UCLA was ranked below us. After beating USC (not to mention that they beat us), it only made sense for them to leapfrog us. No one else ranked just above us lost, and Oregon and KSU weren't going to drop that far.

I agree with this. The polls don't matter right now unless you're trying to be one of the top two for the championship game. If we take care of our business, we will end up in the top ten. If we don't, who cares if we're #18 or 20?

Who would go to our division if this happens, Illinois or Wisconsin?

Ummm...if they asked you to keep it quiet, why are you posting it here?

Oops, sorry, I didn't see this one. You said it better than me. It was a one-sided hatchet job. Why didn't they mention Compton, Smith, and Stafford defending their coach later in the week? And why did they keep saying, "Never lay a hand on a player"?! Pelini never touched him. And they kept saying, "Never make personal comments about a player's family." I haven't heard anything about that, have you?

I've stopped watching Game Day because I just don't care what they think anymore. But I'm watching today because I have nothing better to do, and damned if they don't forgive Tuberville for slapping a GA, while hammering on Pelini repeatedly. They didn't even mention that Stafford defended Pelini in the media later in the week. I can't stand these dudes. Fowler's Colorado bias is just tangible.

I love Ameer and what he has been able to do, and he has done more than earned his role on the field. I think he is incredibly good RB, but I don't think he is the best option we have at the same time. Where he lacks, we have two other backs to pick that up. Cross for the short yard plays, which end up being longer than needed lol, and Heard, who is just a natural RB, who has great handle on the ball, and just has that RB mentality on knowing where the hole is. Heard is by far my favorite back we have, but Ameer was given a shot, and he hasn't let us down. Just wish we could see more of these two great backs a lot more. With Heard's hammy injury, I can see why we have limited him, but we burned Cross' redshirt for no reason, I would have only imagined that we would have been taking advantage of it more than we have this year, with the exception of, maybe, the Penn State game. "Burned it for no reason"?! He scored two touchdowns last week! He's our goal line battering ram. We've burned a lot worse redshirts than that.

I think we're this high because our two losses don't look so bad anymore; as long as UCLA (and others) keeps winning, our strength of schedule stays high. Raise your hand if you called Southern Miss to be winless!!

I'm glad we're 8-2, but I wouldn't call it fun. I call it stressful.

I learned that, if we ever play a complete game, we're going to hammer somebody.

We just need Stewart Mandel to pick against us, like he has for the last four consecutive weeks.

I don't know that this kind of behavior is unusual. How many of us were yelling at the tv, pointing fingers, and dropping f-bombs when we were down two touchdowns. I know I was. We were playing terribly; we needed to get it fixed. What do you expect Bo to say? "Gather round, lads. Let's put a little more oomph into our effort, gentlemen. Now, run off and be lively."

The caller was a whiner, but I don't know how you can dispute one single point. Bo's reputation for verbally abusing the officials costs the Huskers penalty yardage in nearly every game. Whether consciously, like the penalty against the bench, or subconsciously, I think refs don't like Bo Pelini, and so he does himself, and thus the Huskers, no favors when it comes to penalty yards in a game.

I was listening to the radio call on the Internet, and I heard, "4th and 10, Martinez rolls, pass is CAUGHT...kshhh..." and then I lost the feed!

Looks like the DB is making contact with Kenny's arm under the elbow and attempting to pull it away from the ball to me. Also for anyone that disagrees with the Adams penalty, Watch what #27 does to Abdulah near the sideline of that play (I believe around the NU 30). If Adams doesn't warrant a personal foul, that sure does. and there you have it......the pic that settles it. You're right. It does. The DB is playing the ball. There was incidental contact. No flag should be thrown on this play. If this call was warranted, then so were all the other PI calls against Husker DBs this game. I bet you'd argue the opposite way on those calls though. The call doesn't have to be right to validate our victory is what you don't seem to understand. It happened. The game is over and we won. KCMO - question - straight up - are you a Husker fan, or are you a complete and total troll?

"i'm not your friend, guy!"

This is the first really good look at that play I've gotten, and if anything Adams should've been flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Looked to me like he was trying to pull Kenny down, and took the flop as soon as he realized the refs were looking. I thought flopping only occurred in basketball and soccer!

Watching Oregon score on every drive, I just like to imagine what it would be like to play well all of the time. We play so awesome sometimes, but we play so stupid at other times. What would we be like if we played well all of the time? a sleeping giant, indeed

I can't believe no one said this yet - Corey Cooper! We're losing both starting safeties.

It's nice to have the real Maher back. It just makes his performance in the beginning of the season all the more bizarre.
