People went to sleep at half. They had got so excited for Nebraska to finally win a huge game and get back to one of the best in the nation. Tons of upsets in college football. We were moving up to the Top 10 with a win.
But on this day, the Michigan St. defense annihilated us and the offensive line could do nothing. It's as if they had an invisible extra man playing especially when Jake Cotton fell over backwards before a play started. Ameer couldn't find room to run. It reminded me of the days when Oklahoma dominated us and we couldn't run against them. The yardage difference at halftime was MSU 257 NU 85. Complete domination.
Michigan St. led 27-3 in the third quarter. The blowout begins. MSU had eight plays of 20 plus yardage that was killing Nebraska. Kenny Bell was hurt and was out for this game. We needed a playmaker. Ameer had 20 yards on 13 carries at half.
Then at the end we could have won. A remarkable catch by Alonzo Moore would have done it. A pass interference call on two Huskers on that play may of done it. A pass interference call on the Huskers last offensive play may have done it. A non-fumble by Ameer might have done it. So many things to look back on now. The great thing was the Huskers kept going and going and didn't give up.
Will we meet MSU again in the Big 10 Championship?? I really hope so.
I am a little surprised by the lack of success from a couple of backs that have transferred from Nebraska. Braylon Heard is at Kentucky and ran only six times for 67 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards. Just surprised he doesn't have more carries.
Aaron Green had six carries for 26 yards for TCU Saturday and had one catch for eight yards.
Mississippi St. stunned Texas A & M yesterday 48-31. Who is Mississippi St.'s coach? A guy by the name of Dan Mullen Mullen was the offensive coordinator under Urban Meyer at Florida.
Mississippi beat Alabama yesterday in another upset. Hugh Freeze is Mississippi's coach. He has been at Ole Miss for a while but left when they hired Houston Nutt. He was at Arkansas St. during that time and since 2012 has been Ole Miss's coach.
Did you see the videos of Katie Perry partying with the Ole Miss fans?
Northwestern looked like the worst team in the Big 10 a few weeks ago and now is at the top of the West Division with a 2-0 record. They beat Wisconsin yesterday 20-14.
College football is full of parity. It looks like anybody can beat anybody any week. The West Division of the Big 10 is definately that way. Northwestern leads. Iowa and Minnesota follow in the standings. No game is a mimmee from here on out.
What a punt return by DeMornay Pierson-El!! He is good if he gets a little room.
So Nebraska has Kenny Bell hurt. Daniel Davies also left the game with a knee injury. Cethan Carter did not suit up because of a leg injury. The Bye week will hopefully be a time of healing.
Trevor Roach had 18 tackles on Saturday night!!
The Kansas City Royals play at 6:30 tonight in Kansas City. Tey lead the Angels 2-0. Go Royals. Jamie Shields pitches for KS tonight.
