  1. I don't like the helm. I can tolerate the all red as long as they don't go all white in away games. I hate that. I don't mind it with Texas and Penn State, but I like the red pants and white jerseys. Plus, we were bad when we went all white in the early 2000s. I'm not superstitious but it will bring back bad memories :P

  2. true or false: Nebraska led 12-10 with zero time left on the clock

     

    the call was wrong

     

    This is really starting to annoy the crap out of me. It makes our fanbase look like a bunch of whiny idiots. There was clearly a second left. You have to be blind to not see that.

     

    Besides that, it went the other way for us against Florida State and we got to kick our field goal.

  3. We still have a top notch defense! Everywhere I read I notice that they seem confident that they can stop T-magic but they never address how their offense will do against our defense. Are they scared? It also seems like they believe nebraska will take this game lightly. Are they nuts we have circled this games since december 29th!

     

    I am still really nervous though, because it seems we play better on the road

     

    I don't think Texas can score more than 14 points unless we turn the ball over inside our 20 yard line. Unfortunately we fumble a lot.

  4. It's not adding up for me yet. I don't get the difference. I specifically remember Lawrence Phillips and Ahman Green taking direct snaps. There must be something different about it.

     

    The modern version of the Wildcat was first used by Bill Snyder, head coach of the Kansas State University Wildcats with Michael Bishop as quarterback in 1997 and 1998 when they made a run at the top of the national rankings.[citation needed] In 2001, Mississippi State ran the formation with the QB initially lining up in shotgun then splitting out wide, and WR Ray Ray Bivens taking the shotgun snap

    Did they line up as a QB and take direct snaps or did they just stand next to the QB?

     

    I guess it was more of a trick play. The QB would line up behind the center and the center would snap diagonally to the RB. So that's it? Wildcat is just "we're not tricking you. We're just giving it to the RB." ?

  6. I'm just curious when this play received a name, and whether it's different than what Nebraska did in the 90s. Nebraska direct snapped to the running back once or twice per game. Is Wildcat different than that? It seems like people think it's special and new now, but I don't get why unless I'm just not understanding the difference.
