Zac vs. Colt in second half.

Yeah, I like our chances.

In-VINCE-able.

by iamjackburton on Dec 5, 2009 8:43 PM CST reply actions  

let's see

he’s thrown two picks, been banged up and has seen his chances at the heisman take a serious blow. if he’s not pissed, he’s got an abnormally long fuse.

by zissou on Dec 5, 2009 8:46 PM CST up reply actions  

C'mon man.

Not to be a polyanna, but this is a championship game. Did we honestly think we would be able to run it up on these guys? Haven’t you read all the evals by every damn blog poster, sports pundit/journalist. We will get it turned around and it will be a different 2nd half. Watch.

Don't worry

We really played like a #2 team in the nation on the first half. We will be back on the second half.

one big play and NU can win this game.

misdirection?

seems like some misdirection would work. NU is all over us on any Colt roll out. misdirection to Tre should bring some yards and slow down the NU defense

Need some great adjustments at the half

Good news is the Nebraska gets the ball first, which means we get good field position after they punt!

Or, the D will score the 1st TD of the game.

by Horns98 on Dec 5, 2009 8:52 PM CST up reply actions  

I dont care about the heisman that much.

But seriously? They are gonna take it away from colt cause he had a bad half of football? As I recall, last week Ingram didnt do shit, while Colt led his team to a victory. Voters are all :what have you done for me lately".

by We Are Texas on Dec 5, 2009 8:51 PM CST reply actions  

The same reason I hate playoffs

Why should the last game of the season be the only one that counts?

The Heisman has an unofficial, latent playoff structure about it, in that a half-dozen players seem to qualify for the last month of the season, then it gets down to 2 or 3 for the final week, and whoever has the best last performance wins.

by BrooklynHorn on Dec 5, 2009 8:56 PM CST up reply actions  

anyone but colt for heisman...

I’ll take a win in this game, and no heisman for colt. escape with a close victory and no heisman and we have all the incentive.

Hook'em!!

aye that! but what if nu doubles their 1st half offensive output??? Maybe Lee will drop back a few more times and really help us out.

misdirection a good idea. 45-13 sounds bout right to me. gonna uncork a few shiner’s in the 2nd half!
