Lord knows we haven’t won the first 3 since Obama was in office. 

According to Tom Osborne, frosty was nearly undefeated if we ended the game after 3.

Rioala should have Piper ride the pine for the first couple series in the 2nd half to make a statement. 

Single digit Piper, to boot.

I do find it interesting that these game threads have way more people posting than the rest of the time on HB.

I can’t believe that I pushed off starting StarField for this s***show.

Poor clock management with 2 TOs there near the end.  I'm not sure why they didn't promise Casey Thompson the starting job.  Sims can't pass, but you can teach Thompson to run more.

I get y’all are traumatized by the last decade, but holy moly. Better (I didn’t say good, yet) things coming. Too much new and on the road. It will settle down.

Total yards are within a point of each other. NU is averaging 4.6 yds/pass

Minn is averaging 4.8 yds/pass

 

NO TE receptions by NU in the first half.

Not enough rushing yards by guys not named Sims. 
 

No penalties on Minn?!?

 

NU down two turnovers but only down 3 on the scoreboard. The game is very much winnable. But we need to see what Rhules halftime adjustments look like.

We ran like 20 plays in the first half?

[Crusader Husker]

WHAT THE HELL?

 

An SEC team playing a true road game against a ranked team??  Is that even legal?

Really bad play call and an even worse pass.

Bad pass Nate was open. Underneath where the throw went.

Rhule had to call the first timeout because the play clock was running down. That’s on the players, not the coaches.

The first half went better than I expected. The defense looked good and we were able to move the ball a bit on offense. To only be down 3 is surprising.

Talking to you folks on here is the only thing that can take the sting away from the game.  And can colorado please lose on saturday so they can stop stroking him.

Good overview-but you forgot the commercial count.

He was wide open but should have gone for the 3 right there after the penalty, get the points imho.
