One thing I like is we look fresh.  Rhule wants to dominate the 4th.  Good to see we were able today.

Helps that the offense is going on long enough drives to allow the defense to rest to get the ball back at this point in the game.

We don't turn the ball over and we have a legitimate shutout today.

Fantastic D.

We might need to hire a coach to teach our guys how to celebrate. Why are they quieting their own crowd? I guess it has been so long since we actually won that we forgot how to celebrate when we are winning? Unless our players are thinking we are playing at NIU.

If only this were the first game of the year 

Too many years with Big Ten games first.

With HH as QB, we definitely beat Minnesota. I am so impressed given this is his first ever start.

We're going to get a win and we're not inviting Jaque to celebrate with us....screw that guy.

Rhule’ s tongue thing on slo-mo is more scary…

How has he not been canceled yet??

 

[huskerfan74]

Scariest is you slowed it down to investigate

I didn’t, I saw it on TV when they had the replay. I don’t know what you are watching?

There was a moment early where Sims was reminding him to calm down on the sidelines.  Like a quick breathing exercise.

This kid played very well considering it's his first start.

We might win.  WE MIGHT WIN!  

Jeez, don't jinx it dude.

I was thinking the same thing amazing what happens when you don't give away points and just lean  on a team for 60 minutes.

I'm watching a QB replacement live, a team get a little confidence, and a fanbase something to celebrate.

Damb, there over 100 yards.

What if this were the first game of the year? 

 

[HuskerInLostWages]

BC lost by 2 with 18 total penalties on them, damn that's a lot of penalties.
