I watched the 4th quarter with tears in my eyes. Those kids played their hearts out tonight. It reminds me of the teams of the early 90s. Kids selling out for their team and coach. This was a very positive step. The bowl game would have been huge.
I am not normally one who criticizes the officials because I understand that players play the game, but that was the single worst example of home cooking that I have ever seen. I have never seen Coach Snyder so animated about officiating. He does not normally complain so vehemently. The roughing the kicker call was a joke. There was no way that official was going to give us a first down. The horsecollar right in front of the field judge is inexcusable.
I got so sick of the announcers talking about Suh the entire second half. We totally dominated the second half. Suh is a great player, but he gets away with murder. However, he has an unbelievable motor and his effort is inspiring.
The future looks very bright. Coach Snyder in one year has coached the Ron Prince mentality right out of this team. Daniel Thomas is amazing. Weibert, Mayfield and Kendall played very well. The hold on Kendall was a joke. I was glad they finallly called the defensive hold on Crick. He was doing that all game.
For all of you that doubted Coach Snyder, jump on the bandwagon. It is only uphill from here. Who would you rather have Bo Pelini or Bill Snyder? The difference in class and football IQ between those two gentleman is immense. Tough loss, but a very spirited effort. I am very proud of the defense. Jeffrey Fitzgerald is going to play on Sundays.
