The smoke detectors screamed at 28-14. Uh oh.
The flames roared at 35-14. Grab the family pictures.
The sirens blared at 42-14. Run!
For about half an hour Saturday afternoon — as Nebraskans waited for the fire trucks to arrive — it looked like the whole damn house might go down. Again.
This was the beginning of the end for Bob Diaco and Mike Riley and Shawn Eichorst, wasn’t it. They might make it through October and November, but no way they’d be around for the Christmas party. Time to push “reset” on the reconstruction plan. Commence the Twitter gossip for the next coaching staff. Yuck.
Two hours later, the Ducks were still stuck on 42 and the Huskers exited Autzen Stadium one drive short.
We’re left pondering one of the weirdest Nebraska football games in years. A Rorschach test for fans.
