[Husker] Huge win

[Scott R Lawson]

What a win today. This is the best I've felt after a Husker game in a long time, I can only assume the players and coaches feel the same.

The time situation just before the half was amazing, even the announcers commented on the apparent screw job the Huskers got. And, just when that seemed unreal, Barnett calls going to the no huddle an insult. My friends and I were going berserk at that comment, I sincerely hope the players caught wind of it in the locker room, but I doubt it. Barnett, tell your defense to step up and stop something, and then maybe you can talk about how insulting it is to see the no huddle. That comment made ZERO sense. Colorado looked about as soft as a team as I've ever seen, not sure what they've been doing for 2 weeks. Either way, they kept the screws tightened in the second half, probably the most dominating performance on both sides of the ball in the Callahan era. Colorado quit in the 4th quarter, and the Husker players knew it. I wouldn't even mind seeing Colorado get to the Big 12 game, this game took the air right out of them- Texas would beat them by 4 touchdowns, and I'd get to see Barnett's red face steaming on the sidelines again. What a joke.

As for the fans, I'm surprised that this stuff continues to go on there. The entire state of Colorado should be embarassed by the behavior at these games, it just seems surreal that this crap is allowed to happen over and over. My only question is, what on earth did the refs keep going to Barnett for- what would he have been able to do?

And I think it's a bit obvious (at least to me anyway) why Beck has not seen the field too much this season. He simply is not ready yet. I realize you can't judge a kid by mop up time, but the plays they called for Beck were the same as the ones for Taylor. Taylor makes Beck look like a Pop Warner player at this point, hopefully Beck and him slug it out next Fall.

Did anyone think this team could be 8-4 (with a bowl win) about 4 weeks ago?
