- One of two things is a liability: Andrew Green or Corey Raymond’s coaching. Alfonzo Dennard will determine which.
- On the other hand, it turns out Aaron Green is a baller. Braylon Heard, come on down!
- That Rex guy’s pretty good, too.
- Nebraska has approximately a 29 percent third down conversion rate over the past two games. However, they’ve scored 40-plus points in the first three contests of a season for the first time since 1995. Pass the Aleve.
-It’s safe to say that Ameer Abdullah could score on any given return. When’s the last time that could be said about a Cornhusker? Maybe DeJuan Groce…maybe.
- In health news, Taylor Martinez finally decides to stop shaving years off of his life by sliding.
- Mathew May’s heads up play deserves an extra tip of the cap. That sort of play will win you games that you probably should lose.
- Chris Polk ran for a ton of yardage and it came as no surprise. Not necessarily because the interior defensive line got worked over, but he’s a damn good back. The line issue may want to be resolved before the Huskers hit Madison in black, though.
- Brett Maher shanks a punt, but redeems himself by making one of the better tackles of the afternoon.
- Stafford and David are tackling machines, but again none were for a loss.
- Seven times the Cornhuskers entered the red zone and seven times they scored. That’s a bingo.
- Is this the first college football game in recent memory where a ref needs to be worried about getting fined by the FCC over an issue with the game clock?
-The bottom line's three wins and no losses. It’d be a lie to say after being up 44-17 that the final score of the rubber match against Washington wasn’t disappointing, though.
