Commentary |
Stryker: For at least the second time this season, the NU offense muscled up and bailed out the winded Blackshirts with a big touchdown drive.
McKewon: The CU game
served as an excellent microcosm of the whole season. Sweet, sour, sweet and an ohjustgetitoverwith as a topper.
|
Sipple: Next season can wait. Next week is what matters right now. And at this moment, Nebraska has forged an identity as a team.
Chatelain: No, Bo isnt happy with a vacation to Jerry World. He wants to blitz the BCS.
Shatel: It was a litmus test for the Pelini Way: Show up and do the job every week.
|
McKeever: Pelinis team may have done enough wrong Friday to leave the window open for a CU comeback, but it wasnt because it had lost interest.
Woelk: There will be no more mulligans for Hawkins or his staff.
Paige: Nebraska is rushing back to greatness. Colorado has remained inconsequential.
