Great way to start the game! TOUCHDOWN HUSKERS!

 

[admo]

Wow big play nulled by holding penalty. Whew

 

[OmahaPlaya]

Back em up!

 

[huskersrule95]

Get your crap together D

Does everyone else butthole clinch a bit whenever we throw over the middle?

Nope more of a small cardiac arrest for me.

I usually pee a little

Not nearly as much as I did last year...say, during the Illinois game when our coaches thought throwing 8,500 times in the rain and abandoning the run was a great idea.

Seriously, I am glad the staff checked their ego and learned to #RunTheBall. It's who we are, and we shouldn't abandon it.

It is who we are this year, but make no doubt about it, this staff intends to make this team pass first.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, even next year. I think we'll be more 50/50 instead of the 60/40 or 70/30 Run/Pass ratio we have now...but I think Riley has seen the light and knows the running game needs to be a strong component for this program.

Maybe try tackling the runner?

Did I hear it right were the players in the locker room for the anthem?

that's what I thought I heard.

They are always in the locker room for the anthem while playing at home.

Hopefully the defense will show up today.

 

[admo]

Sooo the offense looks awake. Defense? Not so much (early on)

 

[Beez]

OMG we stopped a jet sweep!

They're usually in the locker room for the anthem for home games. Nothing new here.
