She looks hot to me.

Ya doesn't have to yell to get attention. Turn off the caps.

You might want to check out this thread: What NOT to learn from the Nebraska Cornhuskers under Coach Bill Callahan, What's wrong with the third qtr??

Do you guys think the Mizzou game supports his agrument, i.e., beyond the fact that we did not score in the 3rd? We were running well in the 1st half and continued to do so in the second. There didn't seem to be much reason to change that. If Phillips had not dropped that pass in the open (clearly nobody's fault but the receiver) that would have just about been game over. I don't think Mizzou fits the argument (or, at least not as well as the other examples). The others might be more interesting. There are other possible explanations to the apparent pattern. Maybe there's a real concern about keeping our offense on the field due to issues on our defense. Maybe it has nothing to do with a general philosophy of getting ahead and sitting on the lead. It is interesting, but the article doesn't say much we on this board haven't already seen.

For the most part the polls are on about a par with American Idol. Nothing to get excited about.

Geeze, I'd hate to be one of his receivers. Gives new meaning to "having a lot on the ball."

... and why did we "let" them have the ball via the Phillips dropped pass and by not getting our drive going? Why did our D stop them on some plays and then "let" them have the first downs? Maybe our coaches don't want their opponents to feel too bad. They want to feel loved. Our secondary has been suspect all season. It's not surprising MO was able to put together a desperation drive. NU had a chance to pound the nail in the coffin on Phillips dropped pass ... but hey, everyone makes mistakes, sometimes big ones. Fortunately, that one didn't kill us.

On needing luck, yeah that's for sure. Look at Ohio St. As good as they are they almost ran out of luck this weekend. Michigan too. Take one team for granted and it could bite you in the butt. That doesn't count all the other factors you have no control over, e.g., teams you don't play, etc. I just want us back playing head to head with the elites.

?? but what is legion of doo??

TAMU has been very lucky with close calls. I hope our guys have learned to play the whole game after the OSU fiasco. Also, in college ball anyone can win on a given day. Ohio St. and Michigan almost went down this weekend. A learning experience behind us and the prize in front of us should be good motivation.

An interesting thing is that BC's trick plays work. It seems like a lot of trick plays are a crap shoot. They either make you look like a genius if they work or leave everyone wondering why you pulled such a stupid stunt.

I miss the old NU/OU rivalry on Thanksgiving day. I heard someone else propose to eliminate the north/south division

he said "hope" because he was responding to someone's comment about hope. Working would be a strange turn.

Maybe he needs a clapper.

You shouldn't be so nasty to Nicholls

I think our issues in the secondary are hamstringing the whole defense.

yes, 2 weeks ago. couldn't recall for sure. Those catches were awsome.

After the turnover last week Nunn looked good today against Mizzou. last week some posters wanted his head. Think he redeemed himself just fine.

That dropped pass by Philips seemed to give MO hope and inspiration. Then we did that strange call to use the clock on the run followed by an incomplete pass and out. Oh well, we never did really loose control. The dropped pass by Phillips was huge. Phillips would have scored easily on that play. Instead the tigers take the ball back and drive down and score. That's a 14 point turnaround. Also the passes mentioned above was a factor as well. Jackson was doing a great job running the ball and the incomplete passes stopped the clock and gave the ball back to the tigers. They didn't even have to use their timeouts. We should have also took a couple of knees on the last drive. No reason to risk a fumble. Not that it mattered since the tigers were down two td's with 2 minutes left on the clock. I appologize for my complaining. I'm glad we won and I know many on the team had a great game today but it seems to me we still need to work on a few things. It's these little mistakes that allow teams to come back on us in the latter parts of the game. Yep, if Philips had caught that pass it could have been game Huskers right there. Fortunately the Huskers were able to keep a lid on the game anyway. I'm sure Philips is kicking himself over that one.

The Huskers had the ball 10 minutes longer than the Tigers. Although Mizzou was moving in the second half they couldn't get/keep the ball enough to make up the difference. The Huskers also capitalized on MO turnovers.

In addition, the OSU loss had me wondering if we hadn't progressed as much as I originally thought. The Huskers looked good today. There are issues with the D secondary but the game was under control throughout. We really have some offensive weapons. A&M has been doing well so far. Should be another good test for the Huskers. If A&M beats TX they are going to be psyched next week.

maybe Cally thought he could lull them to sleep.

I didn't hear their names at all
