I learned that Nebraska is 50 - 0 when two running backs have over 100yds rushing. That should make the gameplan easy for the offense against MSU.
Our defense said they would play better in shutting down the passing game and they did. It seemed like 1/3rd of O'Tooles passes went straight to the sideline because a) great pressure from the front 4 and b) great coverage to keep his options limited.
Tommy Armstrong is a 2nd year starting QB, he is still a work in progress. Folks need to relax and stop expecting a QB to be an All-American in his first or second year. Your not gonna get that out of Tommy, nor Ryker, nor Johnny. Let it go and let them develop.
Cross just needs to mentally know how to carry the ball better. switching arms to his non-contact side. Putting two hands on the ball. Simple stuff like that.
Terrell Newby had the best run I have seen him make in quite some time and showed flashes of what he can do when he is patient and waits for the hole to develop and then punch it, like Ameer.
Our secondary is starting to get it mentally and allowing their talents to create the turnovers.

Ameer should be considered the Heisman front runner at this point in time.
We are deep at RB and there is little drop off from AA- think about that.
Beck has done much better these last two games, let's hope that continues against some much tougher defenses.
Liked the shoes, the rest of the red rising uniform was just bad. Hope they burn them and switch to Nike.
We've got a challenge coming up with MSU. Should be a great game.

Johnny Rodgers had the best quote of the night in my opinion.
"The Heisman is more of a team award, they just give it to the guy who makes the biggest impact"
To me, Ameer and the Huskers deserve the Heisman trophy.

Right when I was getting a little worried about Ameer leaving next year, Nelson bolted out of nowhere and showed me that he's better than Cross or Newby. Nothing to worry about next year (Okay, maybe not "nothing," but loved seeing Nelson run). Cross and Newby are good, but they seem to lack that explosiveness. Nelson seems to have it.
We have the best offensive player in the country and the best defensive player.

1.Cross is a straight up the middle monster.
2. The alternate uniforms are disgusting (though I really like the red Herbie outline on the black helmet posted elsewhere in this forum).
3. Injuries make me nervous.
4. I love Miller Lite.

That's remarkable considering how unimpressed posters on this board - including me - have been with the D

I think it's the 7 effortless-looking points they keep giving up on the first drive that make people nervous, since we've had quite a few disasters in the past few years and it gives a "not this again" feeling.
