4 of those turnovers were the most gift wrapped preventable turnovers possible. Catch the pitch. Throw the ball to the receiver. Hold onto the ball (punt). Hold onto the ball(fumble on 1). IT'S BASIC FOOTBALL. Freshman have nothing to do with it. These guys were taught these simple fundamentals 15 years ago. Freshman have less time playing ball and adjusting to the game at this level and if you think that's not part of the problem, then step away from the bong. It does matter. Agree. Why the heck were we throwing a pitch to a freshman at that point anyway? Where was Abdullah? Why would we not give Newby an opportunity at a normal handoff before bringing him in cold to handle a pitch by a quarterback known for haphazard/risky pitching!?

I hate to be a negative Nancy, but I totally agree with NUpolo. That was a horrible game in so many ways. We had so many chances and missed opportunities that were blown by nerves, lack of focus, or poor coaching. I'll totally agree that there is a lot to look forward to, but at some point we have to win against good teams in the present.... every year there are great young players developing and things to look forward to. It's been that way every year in Pelini's tenure. And yet every year we are back to this point, patting ourselves on the back because of all the great experience we're getting and all the young talent we have. Think of Martinez in the beginning. Of Burkhead. I mean, think of Suh and Co. and all the things that could have been. And yet here we are. Still. At some point I'd like to talk about being dominant force in college football in the present tense, rather than the future.

Announcers: "Nebraska sucks as a place to play. They're lucky to have the wins that they get with the players they manage to recruit somehow, despite everything."

These announcers have too many opinions. Wrong ones.

Finally, we got to 28! That's what we needed to go ahead at one point.....

I'm too but hut to laugh... Ok, now I'm laughing. This kind of loss in the past would have had me stewing for days. Now I can laugh before it's over.... what does that mean? I have the exact same feelings ... I don't like it. I am supposed to be mad when NU loses. It is not natural to just shake off an NU loss as if nothing happened. I think this speaks volumes for the current state of Nebraska football. And the silence of the cheering fans might be deafening before long....

Eh, at this point, why not let him start? Do we have anything to lose? Not playing RKIII today pretty much seals that we're not playing for this season anymore.

Hmmm. I hear the pitchfork-carrying crowd coming.

What should we wait for? (Also, see the board posts for most of this season).

What the hell is a but hut? Is that like some sort of nasty pizza joint?

I tend to agree, but let's not forget there were quite a few momentum swings in this game. And we had many opportunities. They were the better team because they won (or are about to). Yeah we effed a lot of things up, but they hung tough and had some guts, especially that last drive. Their QB can throw into a tight window and their receivers made some great catches. Credit where credit is due.

Congrats to the Spartans. I thought I saw a choke coming.

So many chances.

Michigan State..... wow.....

sh#t.

Now we could use that pick.

Sometime soon we'll get it together.

I hope we want to win!! False start would indicate possibly not.

We need a big 1st here.

I honestly have no idea whether Beck can figure out what to do to get us some points. We've had two big plays, but not many sustained drives with consistent play calling.

Hopefully this still changes the momentum.

This team drives me nuts. Crazy, bi-polar, wacky, etc.

This is so paintful.

helmet to helmet.
