Yup, just what I, and my friends had feared happened…
The NU offence and Defense showed up with a bigger chip than the UGA team. And it definitely looked like our NFL laden Defense had $$ in their eyes for three quarters, or our DC finally woke up, and decided to Coach his players.
I don’t know how many players you guys have that may jump to the NFL; but there is no reason I see, that NU won’t be a top 10 team next year.
I do think there were a few questionable calls that went against NU that effected the game; the intentional grounding penalty (are you kidding me? Everyone saw the RB get tangled up and fall, he was “in the area” so WTH?) oh and the borderline hit on Martinez going out of bounds, I think could have gone either way, but come one the guy was clearly going “out of bounds” again WTH?
I was very impressed with Pelini’s fire and enthusiasm, he looked like a crazed manic sometimes (I’m one of those that hate that even keeled personality of Richts, show some freak’n enthusiasm for once, other than waving ur arms like a condor!)
All in all I know you guys would have to agree it was a good game; yea the D was sloppy on both sides, but it wasn’t a game that put u to sleep for either teams supporters.
Good luck next year Huskers, I think it would be cool to see you guys in Pasadena next year and make it an all “RED” affair.
Oh and for the record, I for one don’t think the SEC is the best conference in the world for all time, everything goes in cycles, and for now the SEC is taking its turn. It won’t be long before BIG 12, PAC 12, BIG 10 or ACC get there turn at dominating for a while, no one stays on top forever…
Later ya’ll!
