    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.
    OH Yeah who was the Blogger that predicted NU would win at least 8 games   ......YEP... Ol' Dickielee

    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.......

    Bombed by the Sooners

    I thought Pelini was hired to improve the defense...
     
    He sure has a mouth on him and must have graduated with a major in yelling.
     
    He grabbed one of his defenseive players by the face masked and yelled into his face......He should have gotten a penalty for that... maybe Doctor Tom should teach him how to calm down...
     
    The game went about as everyone expected.
     
     
    Too bad the Huskers couldn't have made a better showing in some areas...
     
    Next week is Kansas and it could turn out just as bad..............
