Postgame notes:
- Excellent call by Bo electing to go into the wind in OT, ultimately won us the game
- Offensive play calling was par for the course. I do give SW a little credit for having to operate with the centerpiece of the offense, but as stated in this thread ealier his reliance on the weakside counter did become annoying.
- Lack of pass rush -- whether it be due to the two gap scheme, or just bad technique, our D-ends refuse to rush half a man on obvious passing downs. A team the caliber of ISU should not be able to come out in an empty backfield with 5WR. We have got win 1on1's up front, we'll be a dangerous defense if we can do that. I also tip my hat to Jason Ankrah who was able to force the crucial holding call, making a big impact on the game with limited time on the field.
- The O-line played their guts out. ISU knew we were running the ball and loaded up, yet our guys up front continued to get the job done.
- Niles had a big fumble, at the worst possible time. It's unfortunate because he really is a great player, but the mistakes are going to ultimately define his legacy as a husker. I'm still very confident at some point this season no. 24 is going win all of the naysayers over with an unbelievable performance.
