Bowl Winner 26-21

A great game to watch.... come from behind and win by less than a touchdown.
 
The second half work of the Husker Defense won the game by keeping Clemson from keeping up with Castille's running output.
 
A good season   ..... Nine wins.......
 
The highlight accomplisment of the season was the ball control shown in the last 5 games of the year. If we have the ball they cannot score....
 
Thanks for looking at this blog this year...

Huskers 40 Buffalos 31 Game States

   While it didn't have the "Look at them guys go" excitement of the 'Champioship Years' where the scores  had a big spread, this game was one of the most exciting ones we have seen for awhile.
Imagine a 57 yard field goal to go ahead by two points and then a tip and interceprtion by the defensive linemen Potter and Suh to lock it away in the last minute............
 8 an 4 gets us into the bowl picture, probably the Gater Bowl, New Year's Day.

Husker - K State Stats

 What can I say...... Ganz throws the first one to the wrong team and then comes back and does it all.
 
Remembering that KS is not all that good ... they fired their coach.... the Huskers did a good job of pounding them.

No TV

Only five free telecasts this year. It is hard to remain a fan when you cannot afford to see the games. I expected better from Dr. Tom... It is hard to write a blog when you cannot see the whole game
 
Pelini finally gave out the blackshirts after this last game.  I guess part of a tradition is better than none.
 
Cody Glenn got kick off the team for breaking team rules.....
 
If we can win the last two , my 8 wins prediction will come true and I will 'retire' from bogging.......
