Lucky win!

Wow we got out of this one by a couple of inches when the Northwestern field goal kicker missed literally by inches. Nebraska 29 Northwestern 28

Nebraska had ten three and outs today. Nebraska had 543 total yards and we just about got beat.

First of all Rex Burkhead goes down and to be honest I will surprised if he is back before the bowl game. That will be be a blow. He is an NFL type player and Nebraska has few of those.

Looked like we were going to take control when Northwestern's punt returner fumbled deep in their own territory. But Damion Stafford gets a ridiculous personal foul. Sorry but he would have not played again the rest of the game if I was coaching.

Then the punt returners fumble twice and Kyle Reed fumbles when Nebraska is driving for a touchdown. One error after another.

How many potential pass interceptions did we have today where we didn't catch the ball? Four, five?

And the fourth and one Northwestern had with 2:42 to go in the half. Alonza Whaley got annilated. He got drove back five yards by a lineman. Then they throw a touchdown pass right before half and lead the game we had dominated in statistics. Northwestern 14-10 halftime

I'm not making this stuff up! It was amazing. Look at the stats and the game should be 24-7 Nebraska.

Northwestern had fourteen points with two touchdown passes. Cameron Meredith was playing defensive tackle with Martin playing the end position. Not a bad move even though Meredith is smallish in the defensive line but it fits his speed capabilities better.

Then Vendric Mark, Northwestern's star running back, goes 80 yards untouched for a touchdown. That was a fourth of the total yards for NW today all in one play. The score is now 21-10 and the Nebraska fans are turning off their TVs and throwing up throughout the state.

On the next series, Brandon Heard went 18 yards out of the diamond formation. His only carry of the day. Why don't we run out of this formation more? There was some great blocking on that play.

The big Q, Quincy Enunwa, gets hurt and they say he is out for the rest of the game but that goodness they were wrong. He made key great catches to get us back and win the game. He ended the day with six catches for 110 yards.

Taylor Martinez got sacked a few times. Hope he learns to throw some of those away although he got away with one in the first half when he threw the ball out of the endzone to nobody. Should have been a safety.

Kenny Bell had another great day with six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. Jamal Turner had a nice day with three catches for 56 yards and if I remember he had another play but it was called back on a penalty.

And how about that run by Ameer Abdullah late in the third quarter, Amazing as he went 13 yards and could have been dropped for no gain. Abdullah ended up with 101 yards rushing and 26 yards receiving.

Towards the latter part of the game numerous Northwestern players were carried off the field. We seemed to be physically controlling the game.

With 1:09 left in the third Martinez runs for his sixth touchdown for the year making it 16-21 Northwestern when they failed on the two point conversion.

Northwestern could have had a touchdown in the final seconds of the third quarter when Siemen overthrew his wide open receivers twice. Our cornerbacks were beat both times. Pheww!

At the end of the third quarter its NW 21 Nebraska 16. Nebraska has three turnovers, dropped Int, and five penalties for 42 yards.

Right before NW goes up 28-16, Antonio Bell loses his composure on the sideline after Pelini gets on him about a penalty. Interesting to see how that all turns out.

8:31 to go and Northwestern leads 28-16. WOW more puking and more people turning their TVs off. You can bet on it.

Then with 7:30 to go Taylor Martinex should have been picked off but the defensive man dropped the ball. More puking!

Taylor Martinez recovers and throws some nice passes to move NU down the field. The Q! catches a ball between three defenders. NU to the 10. Tariq Allen catches his first career TD. NU 23 NW 28.  5:55 left in the game.

Taylor Martinez will end the game going 27-39 for 342 yards and three touchdowns.

On the winning drive he hits Q for 31 yards as the Q makes a great catch!!

Jamal Turner catches a nice pass for 23 yards.

Then Ben Cotton catches the winning TD for 7 yards. The two point conversion again fails but Nebraska leads 29-28.

With 1:10 left, Jeff Budzien came within inches of making a 53 yard field goal. But he misses and Nebraska wins 29-28.

Pheeww! And I didn't even puke. Great win!!

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder is the best coach in America bar none. They beat West Virginia 55-14 today!!
