I agree but, we could've won this one with 5 FG s, unlike the VT game. Each time we had a big mo turnover, our EX QB would throw on pick on the next play. That is ridiculous and why he is referred to as our EX QB.
BO needs to take some blame here. With 1.50 to go he goes for a run off left guard for no gain. FG with that much time is So Wrong!!!!!
I am getting texts from a fellow Husker, need to run play action to TE or WR running a 5 yard pattern. We
get the 1st down we run clock and the game is off with zero time on the clock. If we miss then you take the kick. You would of saved one of their timeouts but you "played to win the game". Because "you play to win the game". All this talk about shankasorusrex and horse collar mean nothing. If Zac rolls out and the 5 yard pass isn't there then you try to scramble or run, just don't lose 20 yards on the scramble. We needed to attempt a 5 yard pass to win the game!!!!!!
Thoughts gentlemen.

This was the look on my face after Bo's decision to not pass for a 1st down.
Valid argument. I liked the run call though. Take the field goal. We're up with our defense on the field to win. That's what we wanted. Chances are that Adi boots one to the endzone. Hey maybe they return it to the 30. That gives us about 30-40 yards to work with. Bo liked the odds, as did I. A team with 2 timeouts is way harder to play against than a team with 1. I don't question that playcall at all. Play to win? We did. We had more points on the board at that point. Just my opinion.
Texas knew our tendencies on that play. You try to trick them by doing something that is not obvious. If you get the 5 yards, game over. If our Ex QB runs and doesn't go out of bounds it is the same thing. Time out must be called to stop the clock. He just can't lose 15 yards to make it a 57 yarder. If we get a
first down you take all the actions of Adi, Asante and the officials out of the game. You can't give a guy(McCoy) who has 44 wins and now 45 wins, 1:43 on the clock. Bo needs to be able to "play to win the game". He is a defensive genius. He has not shown me he can manage the offensive side of a close game. Gomes makes the play of the year and it all for not due to our inability to play action roll out pass for 5 yards. SUH has the best game of his career and it is all for not.
