What Did We Learn? - PSU Edition

[krc1995]

I had my eyes shut and was in the prayer position during the FG. Was the winning field good-good, or just good enough?

[Mavric]

That Penn State is not above cranking up their audio system to add stadium noise during the play while our offense is on the field. Utter lack of class and sportsmanship.

Is this legal? I thought it was only allowed during time outs?

I didn't think it was legal. But they had it cranked up on that last drive right up until shortly before the ball was snapped when we were down by the goal line. Very poor sportsmanship if you ask me, regardless of whether it's legal or not.

That Pat Smith has ice water running through his veins

Liked it that they were playing "Ice, Ice, Baby" during the timeout before our FG in OT. Told my wife it was because Smith he had ice water in his veins. Then had to explain to my daughter what veins were....

[strigori]

1 - That Abdullah would be wise to go to the NFL.

2 - That Gregory needs to come back for another year.

3 - Fumbles... the fumbles... the fumbles....

4 - That we might have another 2003 developing...

[Danny Bateman]

Jordan Westerkamp = Nate Swift

[krc1995]

how would you like to kick into this?

 

That might be the greatest thing I've ever seen

I was at that game. Funniest thing I saw for a FGA.

And the Wiscy kicker did miss a kick!!!

I had no idea that Canadians had a sense of humor. My bad

Gregory is going to be a special......special player if he keeps working

[Mavric]

I didn't learn this today but perhaps others learned that Cooper isn't really that good. Not terrible but that "tackle".....

[HuskerNation1]

Barring self inflicted wounds, injuries and the occasional WTH Beck play calls, we could be a really, really good team.

 

Special teams actually gave a spark and probably saved the game.

 

I think you hit the nail on the head as to why there is so much division in here regarding Pelini. NU could be a really good team (winning major bowl games again and/or conference championships), but it seems to be the 3-4 games a year of way too many self-inflicted wounds that prevents the Huskers from reaching that status.

How could he keep from laughing!

[Foppa]

1) Anyone that bets big on a Husker game doesn't know what they're doing

2) These B1G refs are garbage. Or maybe I just haven't heard about the new 'Strawberry Shortcake/Barbie Doll' rule, where you can't bump your shoulder pad into an opponents' shoulder pad without an 'unnecessary roughness/hurt feelings' call. Considering what I've seen so far this year...not surprised.

3) Kenny Bell had a great return

4) Kenny Bell still can't catch anything.

5) Neither can Q, other than once.

6) Johnny Stanton will start next year. At some point.

7) Too many injuries to not wonder about conditioning.

8) All I hope anymore is that Westercamp, or whoever is back at punt return, catches it. Nothing else, other than a fumble, will happen. Ever. That's on coaches.

9) Defense isn't looking too bad. Other than that long play for a TD, not too bad.

10) Always good to see a win on the road. Probably shouldn't have come down to OT though. But it is what it is now.

[suh_fan93]

I learned that Pat Smith was actually talked into coming to Nebraska where he later walked on just like Ron Kellogg III did after getting pulled over by a Nebraska State Trooper! Yay for walk on's!!!

 

Pretty cool story. The trooper gave him a warning...after talking to him about Husker football for 15 mins.

We do this at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln pretty much every play.

If so, I've not heard it on TV.

The rule I think is this – is 1-1-6 in your NCAA booklet: “Persons subject to the rules, including bands, shall not create any noise that prohibits a team from hearing its signals.” I could be wrong though. It didn't go into detail of when it could start or stop. Course, my eyes started getting blurry after reading all the rules

[Norhusker]

Ameer had 147 yards on 25 carries. Also 1482 yards for the year. Best back in the big 10.

[MichiganDad3]

Middle Tenn State got a warning for the band playing too long.
