[Husker] Penalties

[Skylar Dodds]

There were at least 2 really bad calls against us yesterday:

1) The already mentioned punt.  It looked to me that it went off the Baylor
player.  However, there was NO WAY it went off an NU player at the 21 like
they called it.  Not even close.

2) Cody Glenn's facemask on the sack was not a face mask, again, not even
close.

Some food for thought, We're 3rd to last in penalties called against us and
we're dead last in penalties called on our opponents:

The most penalized team in the Big XII (TT) only had what...ONE penalty when
they played us?  It makes you wonder...
