Wish the poms had been there, or a second cheering unit placed closer to the opposite endzone.

As much as people are ragging on the OL and the coach’s poor clock management, I think the biggest of Texas’ failures came from the cheerleading unit.

I counted precisely zero legitimate “Texas Fight” chants throughout the entire contest. And whenever the cheerleaders made their vein attempts to help get a chant going, they did more harm than good by flailing their signs around and confusing the Hell out of any fans unfortunate enough to be paying them any attention.

but I’ll agree with it to a point anyways. I think the OL was the biggest screw up, but the cheerleading was lacking as well.

My seats were 3rd level diagonally across the stadium from the Nebraska band. When their fans started yelling, it seemed deafening to our group of 4. When our fans tried to make some noise, it was weak in comparison despite having a larger percentage of the crowd. I remember in 2005 at the big XII championship the Texas Fight chants were practically non-stop and yet there was never one in the game yesterday that included more than just the people near the band and was quickly drowned out by the Husker fans.
