"The throw is launched down toward the goal line! Going up! Ball tipped before...YEAAHH! CAUGHT! JORDAN WESTERKAMP! NEBRASKA WINS THE GAME ON THE FINAL PLAY OF THE CONTEST!" If you watched the Northwestern - Nebraska game last year, hopefully you remember this play. Northwestern was up by 3. The game was essentially over when there were 4 seconds left and Nebraska was near the 50 yard line, yet somehow, the Huskers still prevailed.
This year, the game was not near as thrilling. The game started close, but the cornhuskers eventually managed to dig themselves out of the hole they'd dug and overcome Northwestern. Ameer ran for a career high 4 TDs. Nebraska finished the game with 234 yards of rushing. Nearly all of these came from Armstrong and Abdullah.
As we move toward the next game, Nebraska definitely needs to work on the amount of penalties they are having a game. Such a simple thing to improve that makes an enormous difference. With 8 penalties last game, we can do better. Hopefully we can aim to keep it under 5 for less than 40 yards. That would be ideal to win.
