Apparently we've intimidated the Bevos. GO BIG RED.

 

 

Oh, and apparently their defense looked darn good against us because they held us to 106 yards....someone should tell them that's not an accomplishment

Good read

[knapplc]

Someone needs to clue Texas Fan in to how bad our offense is. We held us to 106 yards as much as they did.

Agree. Lee was our best defensive player

We didn't deserve to win that game, but I'll take it.

 

That was the best D I have seen in years.

 

 

That defense reminded me of Ray Lewis's Baltimore Ravens defense that won the superbowl. And Nebraska is only a college defense.

Holding one of the worst offenses in college football to 100 yards isn't nearly as impressive as holding one of the best offenses in college football to 200 yards and 13 points.

I was just about to say something about this.

 

Notice to Texas fans: Your defense was not good Saturday, we were just that bad.

"The Cornhuskers (9-4) had only 106 total yards, their lowest total in 25 years."

I undertsand that your O had its issues this year, but I don't think you are giving the Texas D much credit for stonewalling you in the CCG. No one else this year managed to do what Texas did - even when Helu & Burkhead were dinged up.

Your defense played great, no doubt. However, you must keep the 100 yards stat in context with the knowledge that this was the most conservatively called game all year. (Oklahoma might have been close . . .) The game plan was one notch above having Zac Lee take a knee on the first three downs and then punting. Come to think of it . . . I wonder if we should try that against Arizona?

It's all about the points. You gave up 12 points to us, more than Oklahoma or Iowa State gave up, and we played both at home. In your home turf, with home-field advantage, you should have been able to hold an offense this inept to three or six points. We scored only five points less against you than we scored against K-State and only three points less than we scored against VT.

Hey, you can pat yourselves on your backs all day on your defensive effort if you want to do that - I won't stop you. It wouldn't be my advice though, because then you'd probably overestimate your strengths going into the 'Bama game. Our quarterback can't throw, so much so that they try not to make him. This game was all about the offense just holding on and waiting for a break from our defense.

Well, to be fair, the Texas O spotted you 6 points. Your first two field goals had nothing to do with your O.

Wow, Knapplc just turned that statistic around!

He does have a hell of a point there.

[bernorange]

I went back and checked the drive summary (from Yahoo!). 9 of your points came on field goals where your O gained a just single first down (moving 13 yards on that drive). Arguably, your O was legitimately responsible for only 3 of your 12 points.
