Nebraska is killing themselves. The RB dropped a sure TD and the WR dropped another inside the 5 on another drive. Texas scored twice with good field position on Nebraska's 45 and Nebraska's 20 after their fumble. Looks like the Texas curse will continue.

And as you can see...it won't work vs a good defense in this day and age. For them to get back in the game, they will have to pass. Which I happen to think they are not capable of doing. We'll see....

When you can only do one thing, it is infinitely harder to do it when you face a team that has the same talent and knows what you are going to do.

The QB has been on the money though. There were literally two dropped TDs that were wide open and another across the middle for an easy 20-30 yard gain.

But when your not used to throwing/catching...its never as easy as it looks when you are used to do thing that. Martinez is currently 4/11 for 63yds and avg. about 3yds a rush. They have about 150 total yards well into the 3rd. Thats not much offense. But still a long ways to go. One TD and NEB is back in game.

So much for that idea.

I have never seen so many dropped passes in one game...... Nebraska should be winning this game

Another one bites the dust.... I did not think it would be Nebraska until maybe their championship game.

Good bye slacker Nebraska, the dropped passes just shows that the defensive minded head coach doesn't have his O ready mentally. The QB faced another stellar D in Texas just like he did a couple weeks ago when he faced what was it South Dakota St & had terrible numbers, too funny.

Actually I like the kid he will live to play another day & be better for it.

I'm just glad that Texas sends them out with a kick in the pants.


Woohoo, Hookem Horns

Well done Texas. Didn't see the game so I can't comment other than that.

Tough loss today. Can't drop 6 passes 3 sure TD's & expect to beat a team the caliber of Texas. Now on to Okie St.
