chamrocck Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Yes, there was not a lot of positives to take away from our loss to USC. But Keller had a good game in a losing effort. I enjoyed watching Keller give it his all until the end. Gameball for Sam. Link: http://www.insidesocal.com/usc/ Cracking The Top 10 Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller's 389 yards passing was the seventh-most allowed by a USC defense in school history. Keller surpassed UCLA QB John Barnes' 385 yards in 1992 but fell short of Wisconsin QB Ron VanderKelen's 401 in 1963. Quote Link to comment

HUSKERWANK07 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 impressive against a sc D..guess their corners arent so good after all or maybe our receivers are just that good? Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Kickoff Question answered on that page. Kicking ItUSC kicked off twice against Nebraska because after the Huskers won the opening toss, the Trojans mistakenly asked to "kick." A stunned ref asked the Trojans again and was told, "kick." So USC kicked off twice. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Keller was playing very well and got us a 10-7 lead. After the delay from the unfortunate injury, things didnt go as well. Quote Link to comment
USC_tradition Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Keller looked pretty good when he had time to throw, no doubt about that. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I think he did better when under pressure too, which is an encouraging sign that he was just a bit rusty. Quote Link to comment
newenglandhusker Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Minus the two incredibly important game changing interceptions he threw, he played ok. Why are we constantly only looking at the "good things" (dubious distinction in this case, IMO) and not taking a microscope to the bad things? The only way to get better is to fix the mistakes, not say "well one guy played ok if you look at the numbers and completely discount the timing of his critical mistakes." Not trying to harp on Keller (obviously the defense was pretty porous) but you guys need to be a little bit more critical. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 lol, that post isn't even worth a reply except to say Keller did fine. Quote Link to comment
xkbubo Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Congrats Kell you did good. Lets see some broken records during this season Quote Link to comment

Have you read any of the 10,000 posts on this board since Saturday. People are ready to fire the entire coaching staff and bench all of our defensive starters. Can we have one thread to discuss the only bright spot from Saturday: The fact that Keller came out and played well, which I had my doubts about after he lost his cool a few times at Wake Forest. Also liked that he kept plugging away after the game was lost. Shows some character that might make a difference in games down the road. Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Keller looked pretty good when he had time to throw, no doubt about that. I thought he threw some nice passes even when he was under pressure. Bravo on not posting flame bait for once, though! Quote Link to comment

I thought he threw some nice passes even when he was under pressure. Bravo on not posting flame bait for once, though! Keller is a top notch QB. He would start in all but maybe 10-15 programs in the country. The yards are overstated since we HAD to throw but it still is a nice feather in his cap. Keller should continue to blossom.

Not trying to harp on Keller (obviously the defense was pretty porous) but you guys need to be a little bit more critical. One of those INT's was his fault the other was tipped and a linebacker picked it off...........two totally seperate incidents. If he had thrown the other one like he did the first then I would understand what you are saying. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 "Kudos To Keller, 7th Most Passing Yards All-Time vs. USC" Yeah, that's like telling everyone that your wife left you for a better-looking, more successful wealthier man....but you found $20 under the couch when she took it.
