Licensed to Ill Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Just wondering if the hit is up on youtube yet. Had a friend who didn't see the game and I want to show him and others. Quote Link to comment

strigori Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 ESPN highlights and Ubben's write-ups have completely skipped the call as if it weren't a deciding factor in the game. Do you expect anything different from the Big 12's broadcasting partner? ESPN is not in the business of being journalists, just being entertainment. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 You mean the hit when he hit him in the chest as the ball was at about 1-O'clock just getting released? Yep...horribly uncalled for. I'm saying it here and the other posts. F'ck the conference. Kill 'em all. Quote Link to comment
Hujan Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm actually shocked the refs didn't just spot them 3 points for the "penalty" rather than 15 yards. I can't wait to see it again, but all I can remember from seeing it before was that it was squeaky clean. He didn't go high at all, wrapped up, didn't drive him into the ground, didn't taunt, and didn't get there late. It was the most textbook quality hit you could possibly imagine on a QB. Even Ed Cunningham thought the penalty was inappropriate. Honestly, the game was over right there. That flag isn't thrown, and A&M either has a long field goal or more likely a short punt. We likely get the ball back w/ 3:00 to play and all the momentum to drive for a winning kick. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Did it put them into FG range? Regardless the game wasn't over right there; we got the ball back with three full minutes to score. That's all the time in the world and momentum is a wash in that situation. As much pressure is on the D as is on the O. But if it got them into FG range, I gotta think they were practically trying to give them the FG position. C'mon refs. At least in '06, the late hit on Taylor, was an actual late hit. Even if not a very hard one. And we earned our touchdown after that. Quote Link to comment

Kaput. Driving deep, but coming up empty. Giving the ball back to our offense with 4 minutes and change, I believe it was. There is something mentally different when you are playing to win as opposed to playing to tie. If A&M turned the ball over at that point, the game had set up very cleanly for Nebraska to drive for a game winner. Quote Link to comment

It would have been 4th and 8 (instead of 11) if I remember it correctly from just inside the 50 on our side of the field, obvious punting situation. Instead, the call moved them down to between our 30 and 35 and gave them a 1st down. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah, I agree with you. I was just asking for a refresher on where in the field it was. With 3 minutes left I don't think anything was over by any means, but it put us behind. In my opinion, not very far, because a comeback from 3 down with 3 to go is so commonplace. If we don't pull that off, we can't but blame it on us/credit their D for the stop. But it definitely hurt us. Just -- not quite the same way as the 15-yard personal foul penalty against Texas last year, as an example. That literally just about killed us, 90%. Quote Link to comment
chrism Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I still say that the 5 other PFs before this hit cause the flag to be thrown -- they where going to call ANYTHING close -- Quote Link to comment

The only difference being that Asante horse-collared Shipley like it was his job. I sort of saw it as a wash because if he hadn't, odds are that Shipley would've picked up another 5-10 yards, if I recall. The real issue was Adi kicking the ball out of bounds. You wanna talk conspiracy? Didja know Adi is from Texas and was purpotedly (and by purportedly I mean I just made it up) a Longhorn fan as a kid? Just sayin' . . . Quote Link to comment
omahahusker Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 here I'll make a compilation of all the garbage that happened in the game later, but it's late. 3 Quote Link to comment
