I'm not even mad...

Four first half possessions that killed us. The two punts..one at our 35 and one at our 25. The personal foul on the first down that took us out of field goal range..possibly a TD. And the fumble at the 5

 
i am just hurt. what could have been. make something of this season. kind of reminded me of 2010 texas, but i think this team will do better.

Same here. It was an emotional roller coaster, they had about every reason to buckle, but showed a lot of fight. That surprised me, to be honest. I expected a 4-5 score blowout at one point. A LOT to clean up and improve on, but a lot to be proud of.

I did, too. That's why I switched to Twitter. Had to turn it back on for the last drive, and we had the winning TD in our hands... but couldn't pull it in.

Losing this game means we're out of the Playoff hunt. Which is fine, because without significant improvements, we're not a Playoff-caliber team.

But if we make some improvements, I like our chances against anyone in this conference here on out. A conference championship would feel awfully nice. And it's totally possible.

I told my wife earlier today that I thought we'd lose a close one, and get revenge in December.

We'll see...

 
OMG! I've never felt so good after a LOSS! I think these NU players have got more guts than glory! NICE!!! Some inevitable mistakes aside (communication and would somebody get Cotton a STOOL to sit on for godsakes!) this was an awesome game to watch! I think this team is friggin' cool as hell! This felt like a complete game.

GO BIG RED!

 
Not mad. Great fight in the team (most of em). Got a few seriously huge issues to work on so we'll see how well that progresses. REALLY wish QB hit Ameer on that late swing pass. My money says Ameer would have housed it.

 
One of the kids that works for me is a big time pro football fan. He said college football sucks. I told him to watch one day of college football. He did today.

Huge Cowboys fan, and he said he had never enjoyed the game as much as he did today, and could not believe the fight in Nebraska. He watched most of the games and just called after the USC upset. I think he is watching the UCLA game as I write this.

Today was a great day in college football. Maybe not a great day for Nebraska, but a big step in the right direction. Never quit, never say die. I know it hurt to lose this game, all of us are, but you have to have some tremendous pride in what they did tonight.

I am not sure the staff is what we need, but this team is different than past teams. This game will make them much stronger, more determined.

And I think Bo showed more composure again. I think he needs help still, but I want to cry, but damn I am proud of these kids!!!!

 
How many comebacks has Bo had since he has been here? OSU, Wisconsin, Northwestern, MSU to name a few...this is they way his teams' play. Guarantee sparty doesn't take their foot off in a rematch if we get there.

Beck better figure out a way to get the offense going when the defense can stop Ameer in the run game or we're in for another 70 point wisconsin style domination as MSU could be looking to impress for the playoff by then...we still have to get there first...

 
Tonight is all I've asked for.

The Husker teams in the past would claw and fight till the end and make you earn the win. This team did it.

Extremely proud of this Husker team.

 
Down 17-0 after a lifeless first half, did anyone see the completely professional presser Bo gave at halftime?

See, you can be a coach focused on your team and still not embarrass the university you represent when things aren't going well.

For me, that's a huge step in the right direction. Well done, Bo.

100%

 
God dang, did anyone else see how close Moore actually was to making that catch? One handed he reaches out and snags it, almost pulls it in but it jars loose as he hit the ground.

Damn that was fun to watch. So close!
