Not much to write about for this game. Iowa State did a great job of causing fumbles and intercepting passes.
The Huskers didn't get many, if any, breaks..
Next week Baylor at Waco .....paid TV

While watching the game on TV just before half time my Good Wife Donna got the shivers and the shakes and threw up. The play finally got to her. She did get to feeling better after the game ended....
At half time while leaving the field through the tunnel. Coach Bo turned around and glared at the crowd which was booing him..... Booing Bo ... that's something different.
Bo also did a lot of yelling at the officials during this game. Right or wrong on the calls I thought it was really kind of a childish thing for him to carry on at the length he did.
And in his press interview after the game he again told us how great of a coach his offensive coordinator Watson, is. That after only 24 net rushing yards .....
Bo ...Get rid of Watson... your offense stinks.
Well, thats enough of me cutting up the coaching staff....
Maybe next Saturday against Iowa State at 11:30 AM on Fox Sports Network it will all come together for the Huskers for a complete game.
Go Big Red

The Husker move up to 14th in the standings after a 27-12 comeback win over their first Big 12 opponent Missouri.
The down pouring rain made it difficult to judge the play under offensive coordinator Watson's West Coast Offense which accomplished nothing during the first three quarters.
But lo and behold it almost looked like Dr. Tom took over the job in the last quarter as the Huskers used the Power I with the double wing. The result was great as the renforced line opened up holes for the running game and got Missouri so shook up that they forgot to play pass defense. Let's see more of that....
Next up this Saturday, October 17th at 2:30 PM ...Texas Tech in Lincoln. The game will be telecast as an ABC regional show.
