Naw..somewhere in the middle. I am usually curteous to the opposing teams fans, but the team itself does not get a free pass. Husker fans are basically giving the other team a reach-around. Embarassing.

Nice..hehe.

Much better answer than the other cornholers would have given. "We respect the other team!!"

Saulbadguy · 10-01-2005, 08:55 AM

Heh. The Steel Curtain defense of PITT only allowed 37 points to Offensive Machine Rutgers. How much did you guys score against them again?

DBroncos4life · 10-01-2005, 04:22 PM

27 to 20 NU wins. Good game, next week is another big game for us.

Complete bull****.

The fans are more than loud and Memorial Stadium is as intimidating as any in the Big 12 if not the entire country. You don't have to be classless a-hole in order to support your team.

A couple years ago 50 Nebraska fans got their tires slashed while they slept in their hotel rooms. All this done by Jayhawk/KState fans.

Florida_Bronco · 10-01-2005, 04:51 PM

We beat the 23rd ranked team, pretty close fought game but we made the plays when it mattered.

Wasn't pretty, but it'll silence some of the critics.

DBroncos4life · 10-01-2005, 05:46 PM

OU is looking better then they have all year, odd that Barry Switzer is on the sideline for it as well.....

DBroncos4life · 10-02-2005, 09:10 PM

So this is TT first road game of the year. No one is bashing them for playing so many home games to start the year.

Anyways TT didn't look that great against a underrated Jayhawk team but still its going to be a tough win, if we do win. I like what the O did after the bye but we need to put together more games like that before I start thinking everything is working. All I can say is next year this team could go far. Our younger guys are getting lots of reps and I don't think we are losing many starters at all.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska coach Bill Callahan's West Coast offense finally is up and running.

Actually, it's up and passing.

Zac Taylor finished a record day with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Cory Ross in the second overtime to give Nebraska a 27-20 victory over No. 23 Iowa State on Saturday.

The Cornhuskers (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) avoided losing to Iowa State (3-1, 0-1) for the first time at home since 1977 and finally found some offensive spark after muddling to wins in their first three games.

Taylor completed 36 of 55 passes for 431 yards on a day the Huskers all but abandoned their running game. He set school records for completions and yards.

"It's the greatest feeling in the world coming off that field," Taylor said. "Luckily we got the win, and we had to throw the ball to do it. I'm just glad Coach Callahan had faith in our passing game."

The Huskers had come into the game 108th in the nation in passing and 107th in total offense. But with Iowa State using a lot of man-to-man coverage, Callahan called on Taylor to pick apart the Cyclones with short passes to 10 different receivers.

During one stretch of the first half, Callahan called 18 straight pass plays.

"We decided we were going to continue to press on with the passing game," Callahan said. "We saw some things we wanted to do in the passing game and we felt confident in our pass protection. The circumstances surrounding the game dictated that we throw a little bit more."

In typical West Coast style, the running back played a key role in the passing game.

Ross set a school receiving record for a running back with eight catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns. His biggest gainer was a 70-yard touchdown off a dump pass in the third quarter.

"We won today, and I don't care how I get my yards," said Ross, who ran for 32 yards on 15 carries. "The West Coast offense is one of those where you can throw it 50 times. You never know what's going to happen."

Taylor's most important pass also might have been his easiest, as he found Ross alone in the flat on the winning touchdown with no defenders within 10 yards of him.

The Cyclones picked up 10 yards on their first two plays of their second overtime possession. But Bret Meyer passed incomplete, ran for no gain and was off-target with his final two passes, prompting the players on the Nebraska sideline to storm the field in celebration.

The teams matched touchdown runs in the first overtime, with ISU's Greg Coleman scoring from 10 yards and Ross from 1.

"This was a 15-rounder and then some," Iowa State coach Dan McCarney said. "In the end Nebraska made more plays than we did."

Iowa State, the defending co-champion of the Big 12 North, lost for the first time in five road games.

"The way it came down to double overtime and with all the chances we had to win it, this one is going to sting," receiver Todd Blythe said.

Nebraska was in position to win in regulation after driving to the ISU 10 with under two minutes left. But on third-and-6 Taylor was caught in the backfield by DeAndre Jackson and fumbled. Jackson recovered, but Iowa State could do nothing offensively and had to punt.

"That's a critical mistake," Taylor said. "We always stress not having turnovers in the red zone, and it was just a bad play. As soon as the ball came out, it was the worst feeling in the world. Fortunately we were able to overcome it."

The Huskers got the ball back with 20 seconds, and Taylor took a knee to force overtime.

Meyer was 23 of 41, with an interception, for 317 yards, and the Cylones netted only 57 yards on the ground.

The Huskers went into the fourth quarter down 13-10 after Bret Culbertson's 32-yard field goal late in the third quarter.

But Jordan Congdon tied it with a 23-yard field goal after Iowa State stopped Taylor a yard short of the goal line on a third-and-3.

Ross' long touchdown broke a 3-3 tie in the third quarter, but Iowa State responded with a five-play, 80-yard drive that Meyer finished with a 2-yard pass to Walter Nickel.

Despite starting the season 3-0, Nebraska fans had become impatient with the West Coast system after the Huskers scored a total of only three offensive touchdowns in wins over weak opponents.

Going against the Big 12's worst rushing defense, the thought was that Callahan would keep the ball on the ground.

He did just the opposite. The Huskers' 25 rushing attempts -- which gained only 36 yards -- tied the school record for fewest in a game.

"Bill Callahan knows what's doing," McCarney said, "so we weren't surprised when they came out throwing the ball all over the place."

I want to point out that NU is right outside the top 25 for the first time in what seems like year. I think we are ranked 26 and 27

. TT is ranked 13 and 15 in the two major polls. Its going to be a HUGE test for us!

Yeah, keep living in that fantasy world. TT has been getting crap from EVERYONE for almost 6 months now because of their schedule.

BMF Bronco · 10-03-2005, 12:20 PM

Well $hit, I stand corrected, we DO have an offense!!!!! Awesome game!

Rep, you hit the nail on the head.

Now if we can beat TT, then I will be highly impressed. With the way our defense is playing, we have a shot against anyone. Not to mention there is going to be some hard feelings over the 70 points they laid on us last year.

Florida_Bronco · 10-03-2005, 07:02 PM

We can see the offense improving every week, let's just take this one game at a time

I agree, but I won't clap for the other team. I think the only time I actually cheered for the opposing team was when Iowa State beat us last year, and we broke out in to a "BEAT OU" chant and clapped for them. Too bad they choked vs MU and never made it to the Big XII title game. Buncha losers.

I love how everyone hates us...

NU will get their first Test when they play a good team away from the confines of Lincoln. You guys should feel fortunate that ISU lost thier starting RB.

I personally don't mind Ohio state. I'm not a fan, but I don't have a beef with them either. With the exception of some fans who think that Ohio State is god's gift to football (which is true of all teams really), I don't mind you guys at all.

I hate to admit it, but I don't mind OU as well. My buddy and I have a wonderful little rivalry going but I did cheer for them the past couple of years in the bowl games. Now any school from Texas, now that's a different story, as well as the sffuB!
