Nebraska...not feeling Frosty anymore

[Mike]

Iowa is fraudulent. Sparty will abuse them.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Iowa sucks. Nebraska sucks more. End of discussion.

[The Oracle]

Yup, Alabama plays iowas game, just much better.

Nebraska minus 3 in turnovers including a pick 6 at 5-6 still in the game late. Iowa is bad but they don't make mistakes. They probably won't get blown out by too many but they are not NC caliber.

Well I didn't see the whole thing but I did see most of the third. 0-9 on 3rd down and 250 yards total? Wow. I would not have guessed.

Iowa is good, not great. They let the other team beat themselves (see L. Carr). I'd equate their talent to Nebraska 1991. When they meet a team with speed on the outside that doesn't hand them turnovers, they'll get routed.

Iowa is much improved from last year, they play their assignments and they don't make mistakes. Most fans would love to see that from their team.

Hack.. Tommy Armstrong is has been worth 3 INT's the last few games. It's his new norm. He had 4 on Friday. Combine that with an OC who calls plays as if TA can make quality decisions... you end up with a lot of drive killers.

Too bad the D didn't improve quicker and help UNL earn one more win. This is not a 5 win talented team. There was going to be transition pains and QB issues, but still.. this team should be bowling.

UNL did land 2 recruits this weekend... 6'1" safety from Florida and a kicker

I just watched my recording of the game. What the fuck was that fade call on fourth and 1? Jesus, man.

[Mike]

Reilly was a poor man's Gary Moeller.

[The Oracle]

Reilly is Gary Moeller without Gary Moeller talent.

[Wild Hoss]

The 4th and 1 fade wasn't a call, it was a check. The call was to the other side, where we had our TE uncovered for a potential touchdown, but Armstrong went for the big play instead.

Not the best decision, but its fine if its caught...I watched Michigan defeat Notre Dame once on the exact same call, and doubt any M fans were critical of it. Call plays that work.

Desmond Howard ...

[Hannibal]

It's a much better call when you've got Desmond Howard snagging everything within five feet of him. It was awful Friday. I wasn't aware that it was a check though.

I still think it was irresponsible play-calling. Bit of course glad it worked and was so memorable.
