I hate hurry-up offenses.  

That was great coverage on the TD.

Just want to note,  Vandy is a 9.5 road favorite at Hawaii.    When was the last time that happened. 

How horrible is Hawaii.

Well, their new HC was previously the receivers coach at Colorado State.
Oh, and he's their all-time passing legend.  
When you hire people based on their name and not their qualifications, that's how you're a 9.5 dog vs Vandy.

What is "that" in this case.

I mean, also when you hire a coach who is so abrasive, you lose 20 players, and then you have to rebuild fast being a four-hour flight from the west coast. While your school is a financial mess and you're playing in a HS stadium.

(I think it was a bad hire, but anyone they could've hired, they'd be about this bad)

Interesting pass coverage scheme by the Huskers there.

Nebraska and Northwestern are known to have about the most polite, well-mannered fans in college sports. I wonder if that has anything to do with getting their field trip across The Pond? It doesn’t, but to think of the impression left in Dublin if it was Tennessee playing South Carolina?

Northwestern being Northwestern and keeping it close, even leading 17-14 at half. Eye test says Nebraska is the better team, but let's see what happens on the field in the 2nd.

Yes- good game so far.

same old Scott Frost team

O-line Sucks and no pass rush from the defense

I'm not impressed

the refs blew the call on the fumble(twice), but regardless, I'm not impressed with the team on the field
