If we dont have a kicker all year then the play calling must reflect knowing we have 4 downs everytime.

But the player went out of bounds on his own then came back in to recover the ball

Sometimes that frees up the offense, but it will probably cost us a close game or two.

I learned that if I get pissed and nearly throw my TV at half, but decide to spend the rest of the game on an angry walk, it actually feels pretty good.

Maybe we oughta just go for two most times, especially if the offense rolls like it was.

But he didn’t touch it in bounds before going out of bounds. He established himself OOB, touched the ball, and that makes the ball OOB. It’s like a player trying to recover a fumble but if he’s OOB when touching the ball, it makes the ball OOB. Don’t get mad because you didn’t know the rule.
The 2 point run by Martinez was nice. He just took off and found the end zone with his speed.

The Huskers win the yardage battle 690-299. This should be a 3 TD win.

Yes it should. But yards don’t always equal points. NU had a missed 4th down in the first quarter and a missed FG at the end of the game. Illinois also had TD drives of 2 yards and 14 yards after turnovers.

I’m not mad and I know the rule but I still think it’s a stupid rule. Gotta admit it’s a loophole situation that has consequences far too serious for the kicking team. I mean we did not technically kick the ball out of bounds. It’s just a fluky deal that gave them way better field position than I think a team deserves in that situation.

What offensive line play are you guys complaining about? Martinez got hit twice all night on passes?

With 98 plays, there is going to be a few busts in line play. But I agree, the line played fairly well tonight.

I learned that this team finally found a way to win game that it would not have found in about the last 15 years. There’s plenty to be concerned about (turnovers & penalties) but overcoming 4 turnovers, 11 penalties, not giving up and still finding a way to win....I don’t think the importance of that for this program can be overstated.

Yeah, not quite out by the river. All in town, but it was definitely a nice night for it. A little rain at first.
