[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Every other team kills us with those and the damn drag across the middle that we have been unable to complete for years....

I can't remember the last time I've seen us run a swing or screen pass that actually worked.

 

[Caliborn72]

Didn’t even realize Noa didn’t catch the ball at first. I was just glad to see he didn’t get blown up and figured he caught it.

Thank you for not being man enough to catch the ball and take the hit #9!  You personally killed the drive and any chance to get this tied up and the half!! Nice job!

 

[Packerhuskerfan]

Calling a time out might bite us.

 

[3rd and long]

Hell, throw it deep, if it gets picked it’s as good as a punt. 

 

[lo country]

Weak a$$ holding call.  When was the last time we got one in our favor, especially on the road?

Last year.  The first in like 116 quarters IIRC.

 

[Hayseed]

Both

 

[Waldo]

Weak a$$ holding call.  When was the last time we got one in our favor, especially on the road?

We got a 10-15 yard PI call missed. 

 

[ebohnart]

If our team was a person, it’d be 2007 Brittany Spears. 

 

[RedSavage]

We got a 10-15 yard PI call missed. 

I meant a holding call, specifically 

 

[3rd and long]

We got a 10-15 yard PI call missed. 

And a blatant defensive holding on Jackson. 

 

[ActualCornHusker]

Main takeaway from the 1st half: 

We're still a long way away from where we plan to be as a team. 

Let's just hope we escape with a win here...

 

[suh_fan93]

Domann playing really well.  We're still within 7 going into the second half.  Washington playing like a man possessed also.  Hope he is ok.  Honas had made a few plays tonight as well.

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

another penalty? Ya don't say.
