Don't forget some extra special attention for the complete tool who ordered a pooch kick, with the wind, after you took the lead. IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

Todd deserves a game ball. He played with heart, took care of the ball and showed how tough he is after that hit to the head while laying on the ground. We saw a return to the Todd of old.

Thornton made a great play and gave great effort by diving over a blocker to tackle the reciever and it was just horrible luck that he got a handful of facemask.
If his hand gets a pad instead KU probably wins the game. NU would have punted with about 6 minutes to play with KU leading by one.
If the offense then geta a couple of first downs KU probably wins.
It was a great play but bad luck.

Not sure how Justin gets a gasser, but no mention of Kerry's fumble on the 4 or Todd's 3-11 start or Jake's drop, or the OC's call for a home run pass on 1st and 10 of the last drive with 6 to go.
Also not sure how Huldon's 13 tackles aren't mentioned

The fumble and facemask were 2 big turning points in the game, obviously. The fumble was a result of a defender making a play, but Meier should have been protecting the ball better. The untimely facemask spoiled an otherwise outstanding effort by KU's D all day.

The OC and DCs definitely need some gassers. Warriner's playcalling has been horrifc over the losing streak.. We have hardly no vertical element to our passing attack.. maybe that's due to an injury to Todd, but then again he put that one on the money to Sharp. Then sure he dials up basically a hail mary on first down of that final drive, getting away from what had gotten us into the lead in the first place. The DC for not being able to effectively game plan against their 5 play offense. Seriously.. they run that stretch.. they play action off of it.. they run a toss.. they occassionaly throw in the option. NU sent corner blitzes and such, but we can't figure out how to pressure their QB when he only rolls one way off of play action. I would have taken my chances and sent someone after him on that side on several occassions.. because that's all they could effing do! I'm tired of watching our coordinators let the other team dictate to us.. it needs to be the other way around. Especially when the other team is predictable enough for some kid like me to figure it out. Playing passively gets you beat.. and guess what? That's exactly what it has done.
