You can make up for a lot of things but missed tackles will always bite you. I'm waiting at least one more game before I get too worried. Whaley seemed to be the worst offender last week but I thought he was REALLY coming on at the end of last season. Here's hoping it was being too wound up in the first game. We'll see...

Huskers - 38 Bruins - 24 Passing - 275 Rushing - 175

I'm going Purdue over Notre Dame - mainly because that's probably the one I'd most like to see happen.

I figured you were just listing them all so you could ask for +1s when one happens. ***All in good fun***

She must have been in Cook's doghouse because she apparently didn't see the court against Colgate. Congrats to Meghan. Probably the first in a long line of awards.

That 2009 defense had A LOT more talent on it, then this defense does....Unless Bo is hiding some major talent somewhere in the depth chart.... So if that talented defense gave up that many more yards to a team that was probably quite a bit worse (5-7 in the Sun Belt vs. Defending C-USA Champs), what does that mean? Answer: No one knows (yet).

Glass half full: We didn't play that well and only gave up 260 yards! We can fix a few things and be pretty good! Glass half empty: We only gave up 260 yards but we didn't play that well. Those thing could hurt more later and we could be pretty bad.

I've been on that bandwagon as well. He probably had a little more zip Saturday than over the last couple years but it wasn't necessarily that he was a bad passer before, more just that his footwork made him inconsistent - which is probably close to the same thing but not exactly. I think the odd footwork and throwing motion made an easy scapegoat when he threw a couple bad passes. Just look at the Ohio St. game last year - he was very good throwing the ball that night. He completed over 75% of his passes against Northwestern last year but that got lost in the rest of the debacle. He also threw 5 TDs against Okie St. as a Frosh. It's been there, just not all the time. Hopefully it's here a lot more of the time now.

Martinez was much improved in that almost every ball was catchable but the receivers still helped him out several times which makes a HUGE difference.

I figured that was the case but thought I'd make sure. Thanks.

An unfair drop for Michigan. They played a ridiculous Alabama team, that even folks on HuskerBoard are wondering about being on par with the mid-90s Huskers. That's a scary-good Crimson Tide team right now. Yeah, I'm conflicted on this. On one hand I applaud Michigan for scheduling a tough opponent. But OTOH, they got absolutely creamed. It was embarrassing. Way more lopsided than the 41-14 score. Dropping eleven spots seems a bit harsh. But I couldn't see dropping them less than 6 or 8 spots for a shellacking like that. I was also surprised they dropped that far. I actually didn't think they'd be below us. I know it was bad but it was to the defending national champs...

I did find the link in another thread but it didn't quite answer my question. I know it's been talked about but I can't remember the answer: I know we can't copy/paste premium info so I'm guessing we can't reference it either but I thought I'd ask. Is is ok to say "I read on Rivals that ..." without directly quoting or is that taboo as well? Thanks.

Link not working...

In case your really interested or really bored: In case you're curious, Stanton's 76 yard TD run is at 21:37 (although it's not as cool as it sounds). An no, I haven't watched the entire thing ... yet.

GaTech's QB was clutch ... until he wasn't.

Anyone want to change their vote? 45 Rushes, 34 Passes - 57% Rushing However, the 4th quarter (when we had the game in hand) was 17-2 rushing meaning the first three quarters were 28 rushes vs. 32 passes. Obviously not having Rex probably mad a difference but 50/50 wouldn't be a bad place to be.

Southern Miss had plenty of miss opportunities. The screen pass that could have gone for a td if it wasnt dropped and their wr's dropped quite a few balls as well. And we missed a lot of opportunities. Almost had a pick that could have been returned for six. A couple more sacks could have stopped drives earlier and maybe we only give up 175 yds. Ifs and buts...

Huskers sweep their way to a sweep. Huskers 3, Colgate 0 Hanna Werth leads with 15 kills and 12 digs Allison McNeal adds 10 kills Huskers 3, UC-Irvine 0 Morgan Broekhuis leads with 16 kills Werth posts another double-double with 10 kills and 12 digs Huskers rolling along. Big week coming up with games Thrusday (Oklahoma), Friday (Duquesne), and Saturday (Kentucky) at the Coliseum for the Ameritas Players Challenge.

To even get invited to New York, you have to have outstanding stats and be on a great team. RGIII's win last year came from one of the "worst" teams for a Heisman winner in quite awhile: Top three in recent years with final ranking and team losses: 2011 - RGIII (#12, 3 losses), Luck (#4, 1 loss), Richardson (#2, 1 loss) 2010 - Newton (#1, 0 losses), Luck (#4, 1 loss), James (#2, 0 losses) 2009 - Ingram (#1, 0 losses), Gerhart (#21, 4 losses), McCoy (#2, 0 losses) 2008 - Bradford (#1, 1 loss), McCoy (#3, 1 loss), Tebow (#2, 1 loss) 2007 - Tebow (#12, 3 losses), McFadden (#25, 4 losses), Brennan (#10, 0 losses) 2006 - Smith (#1, 0 losses), McFadden (#12, 3 losses), Quinn (#11, 2 losses) 2005 - Bush (#1, 0 losses), Young (#2, 0 losses), Leinart (#1, 0 losses) 2004 - Leinart (#1, 0 losses), Peterson (#2, 0 losses), White (#2, 0 losses) 2003 - White (#3, 2 losses), L. Fitzgerald (#26, 4 losses), E. Manning (#17, 3 losses) 2002 - Palmer (#5, 2 losses), B. Banks (#3, 1 loss), L. Johnson (#10, 3 losses) So in the last 10 years, only two guys have won it with more than two losses (RGIII and Tebow); everyone else was ranked in the Top 5. And only six others made the top 3 with more than 2 losses. You have to be on a top team or have unbelievable stats to be in contention.

Four TDs including a 76 yd TD run. I like it!

Hey Beau - 9 catches for 103 yards and 2 TDs for our TEs and two of them are gone after this year. You'll fit right in.

2 for 2 on Troll posts. Keep up the bad work.

Sounds like broken collar bone so it shouldn't be all year but probably a couple months.

Per Josh Banderas via 247, it's between us, Wisky and Pitt.
