As one who wondered why Nunn wasn't returning all the punts and seeing
how he was carrying that ball, I guess Callahan had his reasons.

There were many other mistakes, e.g., Austin trying to catch the ball
instead of knocking it down, procedure lining up, false start.

I think NU is just not a very good team. NU's best win is probably
against Baylor. Texas Tech is proving to not be a top-10 team today.
NU has played a very weak schedule and I'm glad they don't have a
very good team on their schedule.
This was a discouraging game. When NU lost 41-24 two years ago, NU
was the better team but just made mistakes. Today, they made mistakes
(which can happen to any team on a particular day), but they just
weren't very good.
NU has shown pretty good heart this year (certainly much better
than last year), but the OU game will be a gut check for NU. NU
can still keep hopes alive for a successful season with a win
against OU, but if they lose.... Today was pretty discouraging.
