Game Thread: Nebraska vs. UCLA -- Foster Farms Bowl

[huskers1217]

It was the best game plan and play calling of the year, but there were still plenty of "what in the fuck are we doing?" moments.

yes...we still have a hard on for passing on 3rd and 1

 

[iruletheskool]

that was a perfectly called game and y'all are haters

 

[HuskerPower52]

No not me stool.

 

[HuskerPower52]

For the love of everything good don't pass on 3rd n 1

Great win for Nebraska. Easily the highlight of their otherwise sad season. It's quite possible UCLA wasn't prepared and overlooked them. Nebraska is bad, but they are not so bad you can just walk in and win without doing the requisite prep work.

PAC 12 fans should be humiliated by this. We are a superior conference that has done work in every bowl game but this one. UCLA should be ashamed of itself, but every year it seems one PAC team doesn't follow the lead of the others and loses to some turd.

You must live in a state where weed is legal, because you are high.

Final playoff poll. B1G had 2 teams in the top 5, 3 in the top 10 and 5 in the top 15. PAC 12? 1 in the top 10 and 2 in the top 15.

Oh, and the PAC doesn't even have a dog in the hunt for the Natty. LOL at the PAC 12!

The PAC 12 is stacked top to almost bottom with quality teams. The parity is intense. It's almost impossible to imagine a team going undefeated in conference play. Teams beat up on each other.

In the Big Ten, it's a conference where half the teams suck. The other half are really good teams and a few somewhere in the middle. Ohio State's resume is pathetic. They played arguably two really good teams. Iowa may have played just one. If a middling PAC 12 had Iowa's schedule they'd probably be 10-2.

no, I would say the highlight would be beating the eventual national champion. Although, the PAC 12 has a shot at the natty.....or do they?

Put Clemson or Michigan State in the PAC 12 and they aren't in the natty. Don't kid yourself. Good teams in bad conferences benefit in the CFP race. Iowa nearly made it and you can't possibly tell me their schedule represents a Top 4 (or even Top 20) slate of opponents. They were 12-0 and barely beat anyone. The Big Ten is a good hoops conference...they stopped being a serious football conference long ago.

well..there is 3 games coming up that will defend your statement. 2 against the B1G. Go 3-0 and I will come back and like all of your posts.

So when Iowa beats Stanford in the Rose bowl, I will expect to see you back here admitting your. "superior conference" ain't so much.

Yeah, I'm sure they were too busy worrying about and game planning for their season opener against Texas A&M next year and simply overlooked Nebraska.

Not sure how one can compare conference bowl records as a whole when the PAC plays four mid-majors and the Big 10 only plays one.

PAC

BYU
New Mexico
Southern Miss
Air Force

Big 10

Central Michigan.


3 of the 4 PAC bowl wins have been againt mid-majors. They are 1-1 against P5. The P5 loss was a PAC (8-4) to a P5 (5-7).

The way the Huskers ran in that bowlgame a "wheel route play-action pass play" on 3rd-n-1 would have resulted in a TD IF properly executed. In this game case it was not needed tho.

just sayin...

What is your college team? You have none listed.

plus their wins so far are all single digits against much lesser opponents

 

[Red_Alert]

Big 10 has only played two bowls (1-1) and both were against P5.

Seems amateur to pound ones chest for being 4-1 when they've played three more games and those three were against mid-majors.

Against P5 they are both (1-1).

It was by far their best called game this year.

If I wanted to nitpick I could on a couple of things. But I loved running the ball down those long-blonde-hair-growin quiffs' throats.
