It's unfortunate he doesn't play for a team t that can give him clean holes in the running game. I can only imagine the sorry if yards he'd put up if he wasn't making contact at the line of scrimmage constantly.

What is the Ames crowd going "OHHH!" about? Don't they know you only need 1 foot down in college?
Probably not, if they're like the typical college football stadium crowd.

College football crowds are a very irrational lot.

At this point, ISU may want to let them score quickly

KState would be insane to take it in once they get the first down.

SMU gets a garbage time TD with just as time expires in the 4th. First score of the season for them. They had been outscored by opponents 88-0 until that last second TD

USC only has 57 players for this game today. Damn.

Fork 'em, Sparky!
Holy shit, Abdullah! Thank you for saving my savory for the week. I knew it wouldn't be the blowout of the Vegas line, but I was seriously pissed the last 2 quarters of the game.

Oh jeez, now USC is without their best player in Leonard Williams and his back up is out with CHICKEN POX.

They played in Orlando a couple years ago as part of a 1-1.

Clemson really threw the ball a lot in the 3rd quarter, that's kind of scummy.
Dunno, but I know before I went to college I got screened for chicken pox. I never had them as a kid but they said I was immune so they didn't infect me intentionally.

Pelini should have been gone after the Iowa game last year. Bet we go 9-4 again this year and no championship game appearance.This is what Nebraska has become now. Last minute victories over teams like McNeese.

K-State is going to regret not taking the knee after securing the first down and kicking the field goal.

If today is any indication, you'll be lucky to go 9-4.

Well, they just had a running back deep on the depth chart come in and put it on the ground twice in three plays, with the second getting scooped up and returned for a touchdown.
Moral of the story: keep passing?

Oh hot damn. USC cheerleaders...

Yes. They have qb questions, they probably have confidence issues, their offense is still brand new. They should do whatever they have to to figure things out, even if they are up 100-0.
These teams know what they are getting into when they sign up to play a team like Clemson. There is nothing scummy about using a trash team to flex your offense.

I agree. I don't think passing gets "scummy" until there's like 8:00 left.

Nah, you only count as SEC when you win. Ask LSU and their getting shut the f out in the MNC or Bama losing to UL-Monroe. Or Florida losing to GSU. or A&M taking the conference by storm. On and on, really.

You weren't the only one. Bunch of Huskers here at the local Buffalo Wild Wings were just shaking their head the entire second half. Nice to see a good turnout here in Texas though.

This isn't much different than our performance last year so I could see 9-4 again. I could see worse too. After the number of ups and downs we've had every year I have no idea what to expect other than; issues defending the run, penalties, turnovers, stupid playcalling, tons of injuries, and a coaching fuming somewhere on the sidelines.
Hope we do much worse. I want his ass fired. If that's what it takes so be it.
None of that now. If we continue to look like this Pelini will eventually be forced out regardless of whether or not we hit 9-4 again or not. His support amongst boosters/alumni has been slowly eroding for years. Add in a risk to the sellout streak and he'll be gone. Let's just relax, continue to support the kids on the field and the university we love, and be okay with the knowledge that if things don't get fixed we'll find someone else that will fix them.
