Terrible Call

[Cyclone3944]

You go for the win right there because Nebraska is better than us...you're only kidding yourself if you think otherwise. We definitely played with them (and better than them) all day to that point, but you know and CPR knows they are deeper than us and had this gone on any longer (another OT or 2), their depth would have been something we couldn't match at some point.

The momentum was high and the opportunity was there to end it right then...and the play called worked, no question about it, 100% wide open, make even a decent throw and it is an ISU victory.

This can't be hung on CPR. Keuhl has run that play a thousand times in practice, no reason to think he couldnt do it in the game, he showed confidence in the kid and he just didn't execute. Some of you act like CPR just dreamed the play up on the sideline that day and ran it, he's not stupid folks, if he had any reason to think it wouldn't work, he wouldn't have run it. Keuhl has probably proven a thousand times he could do it, so CPR ran him out there to do it.

Give CPR some credit, he's way smarter than all of us and knows the capabilities of his team way more than we do. The play was there, no denying that, and I for one, trust that man's judgement.

The fact we were even in that game is a testament to CPR and staff and what he is doing. I hate the loss, but CPR is the man for the job.

Dito!

Really? The stats from the game do not bear that out at all. Actually, we were dominating them. Yards, first downs, time of possession. We were the better team yesterday.

Yes really...Nebraska is a better team than us. Notice I say a line or two down that we were with them all day and even outplaying them, and yet it is a 31-30 Nebraska lead when the fake is called, we weren't putting them away. We were tiring, but our chance to end it with a win was right there at that point. It was the time to do it and it was exactly the right call. It just didn't get the finish we deserved.
