HuskerDrummer Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 OK, I'm down as well about this blowout loss, but we can still win the north and make it back to the Big 12 title game. Iowa State lost as well, giving NU and MU a 1-game loss "window" to play with. We take MU next week, I promise you the momentum carries us over A&M and CU, and we're in KC! About the game today, the defense never generated a "take-no-prisoners" attitude the offense started with. After OSU's QB 54-yard run and subsequent TD, the momentum was never ours- the rest of the game!!! When you're up by 16, you cannot have a letdown, and that starts with the defense shutting down the opposing offense- this is why this is a team sport, both sides contribute. Can we fix it? I don't know. We have to dominate 4 quarters, not 1 1/2. Time will tell................. Quote Link to comment
vwaldoguy Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 "We can still own the North"... Not playing like we did today. If you take "today's" team, and put them against Missouri next week, we'll lose the North pretty handily. Quote Link to comment

Ah...but if you take "today's" Missouri team and put them up against NU, we'll win the Big 12 North decisively. Quote Link to comment

BigRedMike Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 You mean we can still win the Big XII North!!! What an accomplishment that would be!!! Sorry for the sarcasism, but I though Bill was brought here to accomplish a little more than winning a pathetic division of the Big XII! Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Oh great...another disgruntled fan. Considering NU hasn't played in the Big 12 title game since what, 99 or 00, winning the North division and maybe winning the Big 12 would be a huge accomplishment. We have to establish our dominance within our division first then concentrate on the Conference second then we can look towards winning a National Championship. Quote Link to comment

I think Callahan is a good coach and the program is going in the right direction. But the North is so weak this year, we should win it going away. Quote Link to comment
