So

ACC Champions-what a win over Clemson. My heart can't take much more of this. And Georgia still sucks-wait until next year. Great game plan Georgia to exploit the weakest part of the GT team, which is the undersized and outmanned (minus D-Morgan) DL. When Ben Anderson went down early, that pretty much sealed the defense' fate. When JC Lanier and some of the young studs get into the program, you won't be running the ball like that ever again.

As for Nebraska against Texas, it is what it is. Last week when Georgia Tech was in pretty much the same situation, down a touchdown towards the end of the game but seemingly in control of their destiny with the offense holding the ball, they couldn't cut it. Needing only to march down the field with plenty of time on the clock, GT didn't get it done. A dropped pass by one of the best receivers in the country sealed their fate.

NU fans and coaches (stop embarrassing yourself Carl Pelini) are whining about officiating but the Skers had every opportunity in the world to win the game. But they choked it away, pissed it down their leg etc. The reliable special teams makes a monsterous mistake by kicking it out of bounds and giving Texas the ball at the 40. The next play McCoy hits Shipley on a crossing pattern and Larry Asante, the most undisciplined player on the awesome defense, commits a horse collar tackle to add another 15 yards, which set Texas up for the game winning FG. So when it comes down to it, Nebraska was their own worst enemy. They had Texas right where they wanted and they shot themselves in the foot. Nebraska will be back but Bo has to fix the offense. The lowest offensive output in 25 years says something-that something is seriously wrong. It will be tough against Arizona and Stoops version of Desert Swarm in the Holiday bowl.
