The bottom line is OU won and until they dont then they are taking care of business as they should be

Yep.  I enjoyed the game.  I liked seeing long drives, defensive stands, etc. I like that more than getting into a shootout and hanging on at the end.

This may be too little, too late, but if you can't get into Cattleman's for some reason, McClintock's just NE of there is pretty good too.
our plan for Cattleman's Friday night went to hell, so my brother called Saturday night and it was a 1 hour 15 minutes wait, so we ate some good chicken wings

Frost actually coached a good game and Martinez played a good game, this gave them a chance to pull the upset

unfortunately, the very poor O-line play, the mistakes, penalties, and Conner Culp took that chance away in the end

Connor Culp had a very nice season last year.

Few players took the brunt of the blame for Saturday's loss at Oklahoma than placekicker Connor Culp.

The 2020 Big Ten Kicker of the Year continued his baffling regression in Norman by missing two more of his three field-goal attempts in the loss.

Culp, who made 33 of 35 total kicks last season, is now 3-of-8 on field goals with two missed extra points through four games this year.

Despite his struggles, Culp's teammates gave him their full support on Monday.

Nebraska generally followed the recipe that I laid out last week.  Play a conservative game, don't turn the ball over, keep it close into the 4th quarter.  Martinez was better than I thought he would be.

I'm looking forward to the rematch in Lincoln next year.

Love me some Admiral Ackbar.  

I really wish the Ole Miss students had adopted him as their new mascot a few years back...

The last part is unfortunately what we remember him for, but I'm glad he had a good year last year.  Seemed like a good kid.

Ackbar is a perennial meme for us for the Magnolia Bowl, particularly in years when Ole Miss isn't good.  Of course, that originates from a time when LSU was good, so I'm not sure how much of a trap that game can actually be anymore.

LSU might actually be MORE of a trap game now.  When you're good, ain't nobody gonna overlook you.

* Martinez is still facing pressure far too often. OU’s athletic defensive front gave the Huskers problems throughout the day even though rarely brought more than four defenders.

According to Pro Football Focus data, Martinez was pressured 18 times in 36 drop-backs. The Journal Star credited Martinez with seven scrambles for 42 yards (including one play that was logged as a sack) and then he was sacked four other times.
