I think of the best bad team being a bad team, who keeps finding ways to play above their heads.

I think Nebraska might be the worst good team
on second thought, this is probably the correct phrasing.

They are "better than their record" but like Parcells said- you are what your record says you are. 

Nebraska should have a better record than they do- but they don't. So yeah- they just might be the worst good team.

Some really rough playcalling today. I think like five people in the box on that pick? Inexcusable.

Scott Frost could save his ass if he wins this one today. He won't.

Probably a late hit, but also definitely a block in the back on the return.

Martinez had Faulk wide open. Threw it 20 yards over his head. Damn that was ugly.

hahahahaha. it's so on cue, it's pathetic.

Martinez beefs a wide open short throw which would've given them 1st and goal. FG kicker shanks basically an extra point attempt. 

Jesus Christ.

Ya how does the ref call Ruckert for a block that carried out of bounds but doesn't count the clip right in front of the ball carrier and Himself :character0029:

That FG looked like me running uphill.

Minnesota goes down.  How was #16 for Minnesota not ejected?  The Illinois player took a knee, and he just launched himself right at his head.  It was a late hit and targeting.  For all of the BS calls for targeting, how is that one allowed?

How does a tipped pass get an IG call?  We live in strange times.
