Friend of mine posted this on Facebook. Sorry if this has been posted already. Explains the Suh stomp. Doesn't make it right, but at least it gives him a reason for doing it. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Former-Green-Bay-Packer-Matt-Brock-Evan-Dietrich-Smith-instructed-to-untie-Ndamukong-Suh-shoelaces-121511/

Very interesting article and video on Mike McQueary and whether Penn State should have football. http://espn.go.com/e...ootball-culture EDIT* sorry about the spacing in the quote, I did what I could.

Interesting article on ESPN. http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/37062/nebraska-defense-finally-earns-its-stripes

Yeah I really like our chances. Could potentially be a trap game though.

Its supposed to mean that he is not an accurate passer. I hope that Martinez uses this 'madness' and channels it into passion and drive for the Ohio State game. *edit Oops beat me to it haha, I was reading the previous posts so I was a bit late

I learned that a defense that is forced into a situation that our team was put into tonight, will eventually break, no matter how good they are. You've also got to take TOP into consideration as well. When your offense is constantly leaving the field early, you will get tired. The defense was doing well the first few possessions, but then had to start making up for the mistakes of the offense and it just snowballed from there. Give the defense credit, they tried their hardest with what they had. Yes they made mistakes, but those are corrected with time. Give these players a few years to get situated. We'll be playing for a B1G Championship. Taylor Martinez I would LOVE to see as a slot receiver or maybe our go to speed receiver. I think he could do it. And we don't need Peyton Manning, just a QB who makes smart decisions and can consistently get the ball to the WRs. What I wouldn't give for Zac Taylor or Joey Ganz right now. Even Cody Green I think, if he had been allowed to develop, would be a better QB then Martinez.

Thanks haha yeah I know what you mean, where is their team spirit! I'll probably just listen to it on the radio then if I have to. Maybe I can still convince at least one of them to let me come over and watch it.

Just wondering if there are any sites where you can watch the game online for free? Thanks. I don't have a tv and all of my friends think that we're going to lose so they don't want to watch it...

What was the other shove? Was that the one where he just rammed into our guy?

Ok thats what I thought, was just trying to get a second opinion. Haha your right, but then he'd be saying it through gritted teeth.

I'm just wondering what your opinions are of the slide by Martinez and the shove (I forgot who got pushed) that resulted in penalties. The shove was clearly intentional and deserved to be a penalty, but I remember one of the announcers saying that he disagreed with the sliding penalty because Martinez slid after the defender had already launched himself. I still think its a penalty, but what do you guys think? Also, what led up to the shove? I didn't catch the actual play, just the replay (was using the bathroom). I'm glad that there was no payback though, shows were a better program, even though the announcer said that there might be haha.

LOL who is Zac Lee scratching our heads? Really... they had to have announced a game or two with him in it. Or at least heard about him. Zac Robinson... yeah.

Very interesting. I too am looking forward to see how this plays out.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that their fans think that their team is the next best thing. A few years ago when they first came to the scene people liked them because they were the underdogs and beat several very big teams. Then though came the holier then thou attitude of their fans, thinking they are the greatest team in the country and that they DESERVE a BCS bid because they always win out. They win out against fluffball opponents, and their schedule, like the above poster said, are usually filled with only 2-3 true tests a year. They can take it easy the rest of the time, whereas their opponents from tougher conferences have to slog it out each week. The announcers of the game even said that Boise State typically didn't face tests like it did tonight against Nevada, both physically (their defense was "gassed"), emotionally, and mentally.

I personally would prefer to play Oklahoma, because we haven't played them yet this year, and it may very well be one of the last times we are able to play them, at least for a very long time. I also like our defense against their offense better.
