I can't believe that fans of the school that gave the NFL two of the dirtiest players in its history, Richie Incognito and Ndamukong Suh, is STILL whining about getting beat up by those big, bad Mormon boys from Provo. You claim to play big boy football, but the incessant whining is just getting sad. I get it. You had a couple of guys injured by questionable tackles. Oh, wait, just one. sh#t happens in a football game. We lost our star nose tackle for 4-6 weeks to a chop block. But we're not still crying about those dirty, mean Cornhuskers. sh#t happens and you move on. At least you didn't get nut-punched. Not that it would matter, because how can a nut punch hurt when you have no balls?

Yeah, it looked to me that BYU was leg hunting on many of their tackles. Not sure if that's how they are coached to tackle or what. What the hell are you guys watching in place of football? Are you that big a bunch of Nancies that you now think low tackles are dirty? They're part of the f'ing game and always have been. BYU does it, Nebraska does it, everyone does it. There's nothing dirty about a low tackle. Fir hell's sake, your guys made an almost identical tackle on our #11 on the first play after you downed the punt on our 1-yard line. Preator should have been flagged, but it's arguable whether he knew the receiver had the ball or not. It was in bounds (if you've argued it wasn't, see an optometrist), and it wasn't dirty. Your guys do are same thing. Are your guys dirty players? LOL, I love it when you called us "Nancies". However, the play was dirty. The ball was well past Sutton, on the ground, and Preator dove at the back of Sutton's legs with his shoulders. That is not a "low tackle" that is a cheap shot. Same f'ing tackle. Watch the film. By the way, some of you guys laughed when I brought up our Elite 11 freshman backup QB.

So, like when we lost our NT on an uncalled chop block by one of your linemen and RB, whi hit him square in the side of the knee?I understand why you're upset, but these things happen on both sides. And low tackles downfield are far from illegal. I guess tackling at the legs from behind when he clearly saw that Sutton didn't catch the ball was my problem. Yeah, it was a dirty hit and he did exactly what he set out to do: get a cheap shot hit in. I don't recall the Huskers doing that to your NT, but maybe I missed it. the refs could have missed it, but sometimes people misunderstand that blocks below the waist between the tackles are legal and regular. It is only a penalty if the player is engaged with another lineman Which is what happened.

Hell of a game, guys. To be honest, I think the win helps us more than the loss hurts you. Unfortunately, Taysom's football career is probably over. Lis franc injury, if you haven't heard. The silver lining is our freshman backup looked pretty good. I think UCLA and Missouri are probably our toughest games left. Your team looks well-coached. Armstrong is impressive. I guess we're due for an improbable Hail Mary win every 35 years or so. I think you guys will do well this year. Good luck on the rest of your season.

Hey, guys. Halftime's feeling good. Just wanted to get in here before I'm banned along with the rest of the BYU fans.

How many ears of corn did they have to shuck to earn those blackshirts? I think the real question is do you have to run more stairs for punching an opponent or for losing to a fellow mid major like Nevada? Thanks for bringing up the nightmare. That was the only game I was able to attend last year.

Taysom Hill. He is the lynch pin holding that team together. Look at the skid they went on last year when he went down. You're correct. When healthy, Taysom is one of the best QB's in the country, which we saw last year with him starting to appear in the national Heisman discussions after game 4. He would be a huge loss to any team, not just BYU. However, there were a bunch of other injuries last year that exacerbated his loss. Also, last year's backup QB had actually moved on and intended to leave football. The coaches actually had to convince him to return for 2014, as QB depth was poor. This year, though the backups are freshmen, one was a blue chip recruit, and the next two are sons of former NFL players (Merrill Hoge and Koy Detmer). Still a better situation than a guy who had to be begged to not quit football.

Ted Bundy went to the University of Utah. We used up our murderer smack years ago. Lawrence Phillips is small potatos.

Oh, he's committed to the discipline. Don't confuse not telling the media about suspensions with not disciplining the players. The players know who's not playing. Lax discipline for rule breaking has never been a fault of Bronco.

Most teams hate him by the end of the game. Happens when you spend 60 minutes getting shoved onto your ass.

Piss off!

Takitaki is not on the 2-deep only because of his suspension. His suspension is not related to the brawl, but to an on-campus theft incident and has previously been announced. Nacua's suspension is pretty clear by the depth chart, too, as one of the starting CB's has been removed from the FCB depth chart and listed as Nacua's backup at safety; he will be starting in Nacua's place on Saturday.

Not really, when the brawl was precipitated by 5 or 6 Memphis players jumping our center.

As a coach...I like it a lot more when teams I play are missing important players. I always have. Never cared about excuses afterwards if we won. Where did you see this, LSLHusker? Earlier in the thread. "Mendenhall won't announce suspensions until after the Nebraska game." Think that meant that he will announce who got sat for the game after the game, at least that is how I took it. I took it to mean that he's a chickensh#t and may not hand down punishment if it causes them any disadvantage in the game. Apparently rules and behavior take a back seat to competitive advantage at BYU. Wouldn't want the players actually being held accountable for their actions if it might have adverse consequences for the team. At least that's what I'm getting from his noncommittal horsesh#t. Sorry but a brawl like that..... the punishment should not be conditioned on anything. Bronco's a lot of things, but chickensh#t isn't one of them. Players are being suspended; we already know some of them. He'll identify which players were suspended after the game.

Yes, they are quite sexy, aren't they?

Yeah. But that hair wears off because we handle our ivory torpedoes so much. Well, you do what you can when you can't get anyone to do it for you.

Just a question. Do you grow hair on your palms if you husk your own corn?

None. That's why you schedule cupcake games like Ball State, Weber State, and Nebraska at the beginning of the season - so you can make these kinds of disciplinary moves without it actually costing you a win.

Nobody should be suspended for the brawl. Memphis started it by having 5 guys jump our center. The only BYU players who should be suspended are those who did not come to the defense of their teammate. And all of last year's seniors.

Word is, there's Nacua (starting safety), Takitaki (starting OLB and one of our 2 best rushers), and Dye (young depth) who are suspended for the full game. Takitaki is suspended for on-campus theft, not for the brawl. Another starting LB, Langi, is suspended for a half, not for the brawl, but for breaking team rules related to the bowl.

I think what will surprise Nebraska fans and players the most is how physical BYU will play. Unlike a Sun Belt team, even Nebraska isn't going to be able to just push BYU around. You're going to actually have to outplay them to win.
