[Husker] Very interesting officiating

I've counted two times where the playclock hit zero for Texas Tech and 
no flag was thrown.  A rather obvious facemask was also missed on the 
final 3rd down attempt of Nebraska's first drive.  The d-list announcers 
on FSN didn't catch it either, but Ganz was visibly frustrated at the 
non-call.

The consecutive holding penalties toward the end of the 1st half were 
also interesting.  I didn't see much that doesn't happen on almost every 
passing down.  The "roughing the passer" penalty on Suh was legitimate 
and a completely boneheaded move on his part.

It is frustrating to go into the half trailing 17-7.  The way NU has 
played, it should only be a 1 possession game, but critical miscues and 
interesting officiating have prevented that.  We get the ball to start 
the 2nd half, so hopefully we can score and keep it close.  We can't get 
into a shootout with this team...that much is obvious.
