Well, considering the fact we didn't get blown out on primetime ESPN vs. a quality opponent, I would say it wasn't Pelini-esque at all.
 
I thought it was very anti-Pelini as well. Head coach calmly walking around the sidelines, chatting with players (not just casual chat, I'm sure); no melt-down after the breakaway runs by the USC tailbacks; no screaming at an assistant when a player made a mistake, etc...

Yes and no. The mental mistakes and Pelini's horrible defensive scheme were still in full bloom, but in my mind it also showed a glimmer of what these kids can become without a the fear of having a raving lunatic on the sidelines at any moment. Had Pelini actually been there, I fear the 45-27 would have ended up 59-27 in short order. Props to Coach Cotton and the rest of the staff. It was good to see Beck down there as well. :cool:
