October 26 Huskers 32 Baylor 20Bad Stuff 3 fumbles and 6 penalties ... and not giving the ball to Lucky about twice as much as they did.
Good Stuff 38:37 possession ... 11 of 17 third down conversions.... holding Baylor to 0-10 third down conversions.
Ganz to Swift passing game is still working as Swift caught 11 passes for 121 yards and a new career record for passes caught for the Huskers
The season record is now 5-3 . I might still make my preseason win-loss prediction of 8 wins. We would need to and could beat Kansas, Kansas State, and Colorado.
Go Big Red
October 24 Baylor GameOctober 19 Huskers 35 Iowa State 7 Hoo Hum .... We are still Nebraska and they were still Iowa State
Nothing to get excited about good or bad except maybe the five Husker fumbles.
Ganz throwing and Swift catching is quite a combination that seemed to set the pace of the game.
Having more wide receivers in the lineup at once was a change in offensive tactics as was snapping the ball to Lucky as the lone back behind center in the shotgun. They only tried that twice and both plays were succesfull.
Next week is Baylor and that may turn into a toss up.
October 12 Texas Tech 37 Huskers 31 OTDue to circumstances we went to a 5 PM Mass on Saturday evening and missed seeing most of the 4th quarter of the game on TV. About the time Ganz threw the losing interception, the lights in the church went out. My first thought was that God was sending a message that the Huskers had lost the game and that God did not like all the "Jesus Christ"s that I had yelled out during the game for each penalty.. 8 for 55 yards.... most all on the offense Overall I liked the effort and game plan. A good mix of running and short passes. Controlling the ball by 40 minutes to 20 minutes. And red zone scores 5 for 5. I would have liked to see Lucky run the ball 15 more times ... up around 30 attempts. He needs the attempts to get some break loose opportunities and go the touchdowns . GO HUSKERS

Attendance: 53,449 October 06 Mizzou 52 Huskers 17Having won the game in the first three quarters, Missouri let up at the end. One wonders what the score might have been if they had kept up the attack. Coach Bo took the blame for the loss and apologized to the fans. Said it was his fault and the fault of the coaches because the players were making errors. As I watched the game I wondered what happened to the running game that we were promised. Maybe those plays were not called ... we only got 79 yards rushing .. Maybe we need a new offensive coordinator ... And Barney...what happened to that offensive line that played so good in the third game. On the positive side, remember that NU is not even ranked and Mizzou was number 4 going into the game. Next week is Texas Tech and it will undoubtedly be a repeat of this game. Sigh! What is a loyal fan supposed to do ???? Missouri 14 17 21 0 - 52 Nebraska 7 3 0 7 - 17 1st quarter
