Oh, and I forgot to say:
I guess Pelini can keep his job another week.

Martinez -- the most marvelously ugly, horribly wonderful, maddeningly inconsistent, impressively agonizing quarterback Nebraska has ever had.

Nice catch Jamal.

What is really weird about these 4th Quarter rallies is how bad we are in the Third Quarter in a lot of these games. I mean, we are terrible out the locker room for the start of the second half but then we catch fire at some point late.
Also, I was thinking about how we were in another of those "we are not going to score again droughts" that we have seen so many times in the past (ISU home loss, last year's Bowl Game for examples). It is great to see the team snap out of that pattern. Just goes to show, when you are down by two scores late in game, just concentrate on the first score however you have to get it before you worry about anything else.
Don't miss all the fire Cotton posts and the can't wait until Martinez graduates posts also they are priceless.So haven't read any of this thread yet.....I reckon I need to go back to about page 50 to find all the LET'S FIRE BO POSTS......I will wait for directions

NU seems to have to get smacked in the nose hard to concentrate.
But it points to a couple of things. You can't pull out games like this without talent. This team has learned to play well under the gun. Sort of reminds of some of the teams in the early '90's that had to learn to win some tight games after a couple of years of losing some big games. And that bodes well for the future as once the errors are minimized, I really think we have, or will have, the talent to make a run. Especially if we can be a regular at the Rose Bowl....not getting ahead of myself.
