Pretty good article

 

Nebraska edged Penn State, coming back from 14 down at halftime. It was the latest in a season of improbable rallies. Osborne didn't win many games like this. He didn't have to. His teams just beat the tar out of opponents, week after week after week.

 

But study this 32-23 knee-knocker and you'll see a common thread.

 

You can talk about character. You can talk about resilience. Nebraska's intangibles are indeed better than they've been in years. But there's something more that pushes the Huskers over the edge — a critical factor in all these heroic comebacks.

 

“We wear people down,” Ron Brown says. “They get tired. Fatigue makes cowards of us all.”

Nice.........I loved watching it! We have the horses to run the ball the ENTIRE game and not throw one single pass if we wanted to. I don't think there is any defense in the B1G that could stop us if we wanted to do that the whole game and Beck would let it happen.

94 Toss, you say, eh?

 

That is pretty sweet. What a throwback.

Bo taking responsibility? Is the world about to end?

Many were complaining that Bo was the problem when we had meltdowns. Any of those want to give him and the coaching staff any credit for leading a team and has about as much resolve as any in recent memory?

That intangible ... "Refusing to lose" ... jogged something in my memory

Can't agree with the bashers, either. These are not the one-dimensional Cornhuskers at whom you have been snickering on New Year's Day. They are, they admit, less talented than many of their predecessors. But this team has lived up to the legend on the T-shirts Nebraska ordered last summer: WE REFUSE TO LOSE. Six times this season Nebraska went into the fourth quarter flirting with defeat. Six times it found a way to win.

I did notice that we were dotting the freaking I and coming downhill at people there in the second half. Loved it. LOVED it. LOVED IT

On cornnation the other there was an article about how "not uptempo" our offense is.

 

In this article it talkes about how we hike the ball before twenty seconds....i'm curious how often we actually do get the ball of before the twenty second mark.

 

I'd put money on..not at that often really, but that's just a guestimation.
