HuskerfaninOkieland Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Read More 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.” Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 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? 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.

The Snork Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 That intangible ... "Refusing to lose" ... jogged something in my memory SI Dec 6 1993 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. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1138702/3/index.htm 2 Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment
huskerinacaveman Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
