That's the thing I don't understand is that the official was looking directly at the play and it looked like he had an unobstructed view, and while they were really quick to review that Marquis Goodson drop at the beginning of the game (even when it looked like it was a clear drop), they also had a couple other times where they were immediately on it. I'll give you that the refs weren't very good, but when you blow your foot off you can't expect to win any game.

Pelini's onside call wasn't a bad call even if the defense would've been able to stop Texas without a first down on the drive. The defense let the team down on that last drive and no matter if Pelini calls the onside they still would've been able to run the clock out.

It's been bugging me since it happened but right before Hagg took that punt back the clock ran after the WR had run out of bounds? Can anyone explain that to me? But damn we blew our own foot off today. 4 dropped passes with the player on the way to the endzone, playing flat on D in the first half, turnovers inside our 30 yd line, and yes there were some questionably bad calls (biggest would be Amukamara's PI call, if anything it's defensive holding). But nothing that couldn't have been able to overcome if we had played at least halfway decently. This was Pelini's Oct. game this year where the team blows (see Mizzou in 08 and TTech and Iowa St. in 09). Good thing though is that next week we go on the road against a team that doesn't have a defense as good as Texas.

Not giving a whole lot of info, just talked about how inept we were on offense at the end of last year and how it was partially our depth at Oline's fault. Then proceeded to talk about the state of the program and how the fans are looking towards this game.

To show just how quickly a hunter becomes the hunted and how fragile that line can be. The guy was dead to rights and only the luckiest of shots kept him from being nailed.

Enunwa's disappeared as our run game has gotten better making it less likely to want us to run 4 WR sets.

David's too good as the dime backer to take him out if/when they move to the Dime. Compton's going to be the other linebacker for the Peso formation with Gomes sliding back to Safety and Smith moving off the field. But I don't think we're going to see a whole lot of the Peso formation this week, maybe against Okie State.

CBS guy said that he'd only drop Bama to 5. I call BS and I'd drop them below Auburn at 8(only undefeated SEC team that's looked good while winning). Keep everyone in the same positions moving up, but there's too many good undefeated teams to justify keeping Bama in the top 5.

If Alabama loses, I don't see them staying in the top 5, even if they lost close. Don't think they'll drop below 7, but Nebraska and Oklahoma should be ahead of them.

I'd like him to put on a few more pounds (no more than 230) but as long as he doesn't lose a step. Putting on weight is never a bad thing in football as long as it doesn't have an adverse effect to your other skills.

The Nunn fumble has always annoyed the hell out of me. People complaining about how we passed it in that situation when it would have been better if we just ran it right at them for the 1st down, but what they don't mention is the fact that the play worked. Nunn caught the ball and had a first down, the Texas DB put his hat on the ball and that caused the fumble. If that play happened the exact same way 10 times, you're probably looking at a fumble at least 7 times. It's not a knock on Nunn, who was a solid WR for his time here, it's a fact that the DB made a great play. But other than that the only bad thing I saw about the team tonight would be the porous Kickoff return defense. Something that needs to be shored up even if this game was an anomaly. Also I noticed Gomes getting burned a couple times on those short crossing routes. Don't know if he was feeling it tonight or what, but it might be something to look at.

I think the defenders take bad angles because they don't think he's that fast. I think only Robinson can compare to what Martinez does off the line.

What is EMAW?

Knee injury and his recovery not going the way that he wanted it to causing him to transfer to a school closer to home.

I think people are putting too much weight into the K-State win over UCLA. To me, I think it's obvious that the team that lost to K-State wasn't the same team that beat Texas, just like you can say that the Nebraska team that lost to Tech and Iowa State last year weren't the same that went on to beat Oklahoma, nearly beat Texas, and laid the wood on Arizona. K-State hasn't looked great in any of their games after the UCLA game. They've won, but they haven't won pretty. On the flip side, when Nebraska has been on, they've looked unbeatable (1st half against WKU and Idaho, UW full game). Offense explosive, defense stifling, the only knock has been an average run defense. Add to that the week and a half that the Pelini's have to gameplan and fix the problems from the SDSU game, and I see a game that gets out of hand in the first quarter followed Nebraska letting off the gas and playing similar to the second halves of their first two games. NU-42 KSU-17

No the reason Tech was so bad was because they used their alternate white helmet (didn't catch enough of the game to know if they wore all white). Seriously look at last year and you'll see just how stupid it is to use an all white helmet, practically every team that did it lost and lost badly (UF in SECCG, Cinnci in Sugar Bowl, Arizona in the Holiday, and there were a couple more I'm sure).

Ok 3 away games this year is ridiculous and the only 2 games outside the state of Texas is even more (especially since practically every game they play in Texas is going to feel like a home game, no matter where they play, more than not (Tech, A&M, and the RRR only time they are either equal or at a disadvantage)).

For what it's worth, Washington won 32-31. Locker went for 300+ yards passing.

Murray didn't need to take a knee because the ball rolled into the end-zone. I think the rule is that as long as the football touches the end-zone without anyone touching it in the field of play, then it's an automatic touchback. Saw it a lot in one game where the kicker would kick it straight into the end-zone and the return guy would just let it fall for the the touchback. But overall I'm more impressed with Oklahoma then I'm disappointed. When they were rollin on offense, they were great. Seemed like they lost their intensity once they got up 28-10. They are a very beatable team, and Texas looks like they're going to lose 4-5 games this year. They're probably the 3rd best team in the South (Okie State), and I see them in dogfights with the other South teams (including Baylor) more than blow outs.

Oklahoma almost gave Texas the game, now both Nebraska and Oklahoma need to take care of business and get to the Big XII championship game undefeated.

Think one of the biggest hidden losses that we've had this year was David messing up on his one class and not being able to come for Spring Ball and a summer of weight lifting/putting on weight.

We have 3+ years of probably running something similar to what we're running this year, Carnes and Starling are more dual threat than Turner and Martinez, but that just means the offense will look like it did when Ganz ran it in '08. I really don't see us going to far away from the running game in future seasons, especially with all these running QBs we've been signing. I really don't think it matters that we're moving to the Big 10, his brother is already on the team so it shouldn't be a problem. I really don't see him going to Texas, and I do see him as having us in the lead right now and the only other school with realistic shot would be California, if only because they've been shown to be able to effectively use RBs of similar builds to Greens.
