Pretty sure there was at least one play where we were in dime with SJB, Green, Mitchell and Evans out there but I'm not sure now. Would have to go back and watch - if my DVR was working.

He was my pick for Husker MVP this week (see right). Congrats and keep up the good work.

Just over 2%.

I would expect that if you pledge above the minimum expected amount, you'd be in good shape. I'm sure they will try to get as much money as possible for the seats - that would only make sense. It sounds like they're expecting to be able to get $250 per seat for the first couple rows and $150 for the rest. However, if they get enough people willing to pay $250, that two row will become three, and so on. It would seem to me that the only way you'd be in trouble is if there are enough people willing to pay $250 or more to fill up all the seats. In that case, none of the $150 people would get tickets and on it goes. I put in for season tickets for the first time this year. I looked at the map of where different donations get you in the stadium, picked an amount I was comfortable will and hoped that would get me some seats if they came available. I was in luck this time. Best of luck to you.

Well, it's true we were overrated to start the year, but this is still a conference road game for you guys and it shouldn't be taken lightly. It is not easy to win on the road, whether you're playing a .500 team or an undefeated team. It looks to me like you guys have struggled on the road so far. Lost to UCLA, got blown out by OSU, and narrowly escaped Evanston with a W. I think you guys will win, but it should be a close contest. There are a lot of intangibles that come with playing conference road games. True. And I'm not taking you guys lightly. But you've barely escaped with just about every win.

I'm only half serious about this but it made me think about all those people who wanted him to play the last couple years because we needed the best athletes on the field.

Yes, he was on the field. Pretty sure all year Bo has been calling the defense into the headset and JP signals it in.

Thanks. I was at the game but must have gotten too distracted by Bell's injury and didn't see the flag on us.

Having 12 guys on the field is now a penalty. Didn't used to be that way but they've changed several of the substitution rules in the last few years.

A couple weeks ago, many though Bo was crazy for saying we had to win out. Not trying to get to far ahead but that now looks like a real possibility. I've said since before the year started that I didn't understand the hype for MSU. They are 93rd in rushing, 111th in scoring and they are 3-3 against non-MAC schools with those three wins coming by a combined 11 points. As has been said before, if we don't flush ourselves, I really like our chances this week.

Back in front ... for the moment.

We did get a couple breaks. They let us get away with a pretty bad PI as well. Did I dream this up or was there a flag on the play that Bell got hurt that somehow disappeared?

Slipped to second. Keep voting!

Time to dig them back out again...

Finally getting there for the first time this year. Didn't know I had enough friends to fill up September with wedding weekends.

OWH Article on this weekend's visitors. A couple things that stuck out to me: This has likely been talked about but we have a DE who's been told he could also play OLB and a 3-4 DE. Getting some guys who can play a 3-4 against an opponent where we can definitely use as much speed on the field as possible won't be a bad thing, IMO.

I believe so.

I was pretty sure that the change of possesion is right after the ball leaves the foot of the punter. I thought it was a bad call as far as us repunting the ball, but Stafford did something dumb, aggresive but dumb. yes, which is why when a team blocks in the back on punt returns it doesn't give the punting team a first down. Nope Possession doesn't change until a player on the receiving team gains control.

if your talking about that 2 pt conversion, that was Reed that went the wrong direction. Nope that's not what he's talking about. But I think Ben was expecting help from the OT right there too... Didn't get none... I'll blame them both for almost getting Martinez killed. I think that's the same play he and and the OT both pointed fingers at each other and appeared to start arguing. That was a big flag for me. When players start arguing amongst themselves like that, there are problems. Fortunately, things worked out in the long run but stuff like shouldn't happen Yeah, I think the problem was they botched the pass protection. Ben thought the tackle would help out. Instead the tackle blocked down. You think it's a problem when players are frustrated about a bad play?

Just googled NCAA Football Rules. It's on the NCAA site. NCAA Rule Book

It would seem to me that the penalty was indeed a personal foul and the ref misstated the penalty, or the enforcement was wrong and the refs will be hearing from either the B10 and/or NCAA about it. That isn't the correct rule citation. The one you cited only has to do on passing plays which is where you most often see defensive holding. This was called on a running play. So the 10 yards was correct. 5 yards and an automatic first down is the NFL rule. As far as the enforcement, I also thought that seemed odd but it appears to be correct: So, as crazy as that seemed, it appears it was enforced correctly.

Really? What does Martinez need to do? He's had 1 bad throw, but outside of that he's doing everything he can to win this game. The O-Line definitely hasn't been helping him out. Mistakes on Special Teams hasn't helped him at all. What else does he need to do? Beautiful throw by him for the TD to. If we had a pro style QB we would be up in this game.. Our wideouts are that good Yeah, if we only had a QB who completed 69% of his passes and threw for 340+ yards and 3 TDs without an INT ... oh, wait. OK. But imagine what we could do with a guy who was top 15 in the country in QB rating ... oh, wait. OK. But imagine if we had one of the 14 guys in NCAA D-1 history with 5000+ passing yards and 2000+ rushing yards ... oh ....

If Purdue's QB would not have thrown it out of the back of the end zone, it would have been TD or PI.

That's what happens when you miss an Extra Point, miss a FG and throw in INT in the end zone.

If we're going to contain with our D-Line, pretty sure we've tried that before with limited success. If we're going to contain with LBs/Safeties, I'd be more hopeful.
