While I was deer hunting Saturday afternoon I also had my earplugs in so I could here the game. What a great win! What a great feeling when Pat Smith drilled the field goal in overtime to win. Nebraska 23 Penn State 20.
If Nebraska would have lost the game would have been focussed on the horrible call on Sam Burtch when Abdullah scored. Bad bad call.
The statistics for the game were almost even. Total yardage was almost the same.
Nebraska's fumbles are hurting them. We are second to last in the nation with 15.
Allen Robinson, one of the top receivers in the nation, had 8 catches for 106 yards. Jean-Baptiste played pretty well against him at times.
The overtime win puts Nebraska at 7-1 in overtime games. Nebraska is 10-1 when Big 10 games are decided by 10 or fewer points.
Ron Kellogg played a good game when Armstrong got hurt. Nice to have a couple of quarterbacks that can play if needed.
Iowa may be the most physical team NU plays this season. This game will be close. A win will be great. I wouldn't have been surprised if Iowa was favored but Nebraska is favored by three points.
Random Thoughts
Michigan St may give Ohio St. a pretty good game in the Big 10 Championship.
York's Glen Snodgrass is one of the top coaches in high school football in Nebraska. He has turned around a York program that has had losing seasons for a while. He was very successful at Overton previous to that.
Ameer Abdullah continues to impress us! Another 147 yards on Saturday.
Jordan Westerkamp has become our top target in receiving, it seems.
Nebraska has won 11 of its last 13 Big 10 games.!!
I'm guessing Ron Kellogg will start this Friday.
Our punt returns are getting worse rather than better.
We don't play Penn State again until 2017 unless it is for the Big 10 title which probably isn't going to happen.
