CPR said that going into OT, if we had the chance to win it with a two point try in OT, we were going to try the play we ran because we practiced it during the week and "the play was there". CPR is going to take us to great heights.......

Our team could have played without the turnovers, and it's a whole different game. It was what it was, great game. Wally gets a lot of respect from me on the D today.
Right call, bad throw. Pretty soon we'll be winning those close ones. Rhoads is a great coach, and he has us going the right direction.
Loved the call and I can live with it. The throw, I must say though was horrific. It is exactly the type of pass that I could have thrown, which isn't what you want if you're interested in winning.
Yep... good play... bad throw.
Ok, so it's Daniel Kuehl's fault we lost. I get it.
If you don't understand how stupid that sounds, then you don't understand the game.
A game of this magnitude should not be put on Daniel Kuehl's ability to throw the football into a 20 mph wind. It just shouldn't. So quit blaming him.
I sure hope Rhoads is putting this one on himself... and I'm sure he is. He's a stand up guy. Bo Pelini would put the loss on his backup punter... not Paul Rhoads.
And you guys shouldn't either.
I don't see it as Kuehl's fault or Rhoads' go watch the play on ESPN, Franklin was open, the ball just got caught by the wind. I think that yes, it was underthrown a bit, but the wind pretty much made it flounder as it did.
If I was CPR I wouldn't take the blame for the loss, and he didn't. He said if he has to make that call again, he would do it the same way every time. Franklin was wide open. It's just a fact that Kuehl's pass wasn't good enough. I'm not BLAMING Kuehl for the loss, by any means. There are a lot of plays we can point to from earlier in the game that could have changed a lot of things.
I liked the call and I loved the fact CPR went for the win at the end. It could have gone either way. It fell for the Huskers this time but Rhoads is putting us in position where eventually it WILL fall for us!
You are so emotional you are having trouble reading. Very, very few are saying the loss is on Kuehl, but rather the incompletion is on Kuehl. Big difference.Quote:

This. Best analysis of the game I've heard all day. Kuehl didn't get us 2 points, but guess what? Nebraska got at least 14 points off drives that started with them getting turnovers. We had drives that got stopped. 2 Interceptions. A (or was it 2?) missed field goal. If the turbulence from the wind bobbles the ball a little in any other direction, completely different result. Bottom line, we showed that ISU can play against teams in the top 10, but they just happened to pull through on luck . CPR didn't play to tie it up, he played to win.Quote:

and just think this is after less than two years with his leadership, not after 5 or six with Mac...big things are on the way and the immediacy of the way CPR leads is an example of not making excuses, just going for it!Quote:

Exactly. One play, or one player cannot be blamed for this loss. Or any loss, really.Quote:
