That was a rather strange football game.  Not so much the result of the point totals.  Nebraska dug themselves quite the hole.  To me the game was 'lost' when Riley decides to punt in the 2nd after 4th and 1 flag (after gaining the first down).  What's the difference Mike at 4th and 6 at that point?  That was a 7 point penalty, at least.  It was a video game, where punting made no sense when you were anywhere past your own 40.   Of course he learns this lesson early in the 3rd, when they go for it on 4th and 10, at that point it was 42-14.

Why doesn't Oregon know how to utilize Freeman properly?  UO got really bunkered in the 2nd half.

I attended my daughter's NCAA D-III XC meet 2.5 hours away, today.  Her time on this course is > 3 minutes faster than in the past on this same 6k course. She is a senior.That kind of increase in performance is just about incomprehensibly better.  

I am reviewing the results of NCAA football tonight. Nebraska's medicine has a very bad after-taste. And, Ohio State's has a bad after taste. I thought the East was scary. Maybe the Big Ten is not so scary. 

With only 3 nonconference games we won't know until post season.

many plays that can be singled out as game changers - you are right about that one.  #15 needs to get set.
the first Husker offensive play - good throw bounces off Stanley's facemack to the safety coming over late for an INT

my two take away's from the game

Diaco's defense is a mess.  Hopefully there is huge improvement before the kickoff at Illinois.  Why wait until halftime to make defensive adjustments?  and why in the wide wide world of sports doesn't Diaco dial up the pressure on the opposing QB?  If the corners, safeties, and LBs can't cover downfield, send them on the blitz!

Tanner Lee is NOT the next NFL first round draft pick.  Less than 50% completion and 4 INTS.  Similar to Tommy Armstrong.  Poor decisions and poor throws.  Yes, the defense put him in a bad spot, but Come on, Man!
