Momentum Change

Vincent Joseph is at a local hospital with a bruised larnyx while Alfred Rowe suffered a concussion.

Random injuries and the damn tv timeouts really slowed down the game.

 
The delay I'm speaking was in the 1st half, it at 8:51 in 2nd quarter at the score was 10-7 neb, and on the play it was a fumble on our kickoff that USC advances to the Neb 40 some.

Looking at it again it totally killed our rhythm, momentum and crowd

 
Back in the day:

Fiesta Bowl:

Florida player down for at least 15-20 minutes. Carted off the field. Final score . . . . no momentum change just a clearly better team.

The kick-off in question WAS the turning point in the game, but not because the player laid on the ground for what seemed like 3 hrs, but because the result of the play. We had momentum, had just scored and our D was playing well, got a huge strip and instead of falling on the ball or at the very least stopping them inside the 20, they picked up the ball and ran it for 40 yards. I'm not saying we would have won the game, but the outcome would have been a lot different. It's a fact, they got all the breaks tonight and took advantage of them!

 
No doubt that lost kickoff strip was a huge mental blow to the Huksers, expeically with that huge return. Maybe things would have been different if NU would have recovered, or if it hadn't been advanced. But, doesn't that just means they let the bad breaks beat them mentally and great teams don't do that. I hope that young man is doing well now.

The momentum change did come from that lucky bounce on the fumble that they took to midfield. It sucks that guy got injured...that injury had to have been very painful. Also, the momentum changed when the front four could not make a damn play against their offensive line and no one could make a tackle.
