What a day so far. Notre Dame falls to Michigan and the Sooners fall to Oregon.

Well, Notre Dame is overrated,

.....and although OU's defense played like complete ass....those were absolutely horrible calls at the end of the game. Reminded me of the Tech OU game last year.

Congrats on beating one barely of the Big 12's worst teams at home.

The Ohio University Bobcat's two game winning streak ends at Rutgers.

Woe is me.

The Nebraska fans showed up...too bad the play calling on offense didn't give the Huskers a chance to win...16 passes?!? THAT'S IT? It was like Frank "the Tank" Solich hijacked the headset and started calling plays.

Hey, that's our coach at Ohio!

He was obviously influenced by the "immortal" Woody Hayes who was quoted as saying, "There are three things that can happen on a forward pass, and two of them are bad."

Which, I suppose, is true, but it sure makes for boring football.

I think the Huskers are still a year or two away...

If ever, DA. I still maintain that Calahan isn't the coach to bring the Huskers back. He's had his chance to get the players for his system. If this is as good as the Huskers will get with him, is that going to satisfy the folks in Lincoln?

Iowa-Iowa State games are always close, it doesn't matter how good the teams are, it's a rivalry game.

Iowa State: Bad
Iowa's Tate: Good

The first half of that game was actually really good; Iowa State had Iowa's defense pretty much figured out (though we did get some very lucky ref calls). Then we kind of forgot how to play the second half.

If that Tight End named Chandler can learn to play a little smarter, he'll be a great one. Tate was definitely the difference in that game though.

He called the game like he was a deer in the headlights. It simply became predictable, which is why the Solich comment was made. I think a lot of it is that he for whatever reason, didn't believe that the offensive line could be counted on to protect Taylor and he wasn't going to lose the season on the account of trying to win one game. He seems to have forgotten the beating that Zac stood up to last year. While I can't totally disagree with the importance of ZT, I would have really loved to have opened up the playbook, played with wreckless abandon and stuck it to USC. High risk, high reward, and it could have happened. Even that didn't have to happen, if we would have just thrown more short passes to keep the pressure off (which would have opened up the running game...)

The Nebraska defensive front 7 played pretty lights out. USC was smart in using short passing to keep pressure off of JDB. Our secondary of course was an issue, but everyone knew that.

I do believe that Callahan is the appropriate person to be righting our program. It's impossible to judge off of one early season big time opponent. We're certainly good enough to beat Iowa State and Missouri, to win the North. And since we get Texas at home in October (on their first true road game) we've got a pretty decent chance to beat them. So long as we win the North, the Big XII championship game has proven to be anybody's ball game and thus, a BCS bowl is a legitmate prospect. Fans in Lincoln will be plenty pleased with that.

Play like you did against USC and we're going to wipe you all over the field.

war damn eagle, great game. Why did Texas play at Rice?
