So Iowa's already punted on 4th and 2 from Nebraska's 38. Never change, Kirk Ferentz.
Tommy Armstrong: AAA gARBAGE
If OSU were still undefeated, I'd be 100% sure of OU winning Saturday night. You know, Pokes Gonna Poke. This is a total tossup now that they've already blown their undefeated season
Football is physical play with execution. The game is not fun if it's not physical. In fact, there is no point to the game if it's not physical, you might as well play something else with just execution and running around, like soccer or basketball, or even the AFL. But then we have been through this all before for a decade around here...Concussions and torn ACLs while not getting paid=fun
I heart a Nebraska footbaw game the day after Thanksgiving with a little snow on the field. It's not against CU, but it'll do.
What are you talking about? This game has been great. The only thing I c/o of was the bad roughing the passer call.If anyone was wondering what had ferentz so ticked off to draw a penalty, Nebraska had an illegal formation and #11 was covered up.
But keep whining wool
The slot guy is two yards off the ball. I'm not sure if that's what you are saying caused the would be penalty.If anyone was wondering what had ferentz so ticked off to draw a penalty, Nebraska had an illegal formation and #11 was covered up.

Gratuitous? I am biased, I hate the call, I admit it, but I don't think it would be gratuitous no matter how you called it.That looks fine to me.
Also thought that roughing the passer call was the right one too. Looked like a gratuitous shot and not much of a push.
Looks likeI'm gonna come hArd and come pissed when Iowa is going for 12-0
Yeah that was a good call, i dont think those need to be instant ejections thoughHoly shit, the Big Ten actually got a targeting call right.
Most definitely should be. Force people to clean up tacklingYeah that was a good call, i dont think those need to be instant ejections though

Last three throws by Armstrong were pure luck to not be picked
This targeting call on Nate Gerry is a good example. If you look at the play in real time, what is a defender to do? The WR is airborne and twisting, Gerry is trying to hit the guy to stop the ball from being caught, how can Gerry predict where the WR's head will be when he starts his process for hitting the guy. You can't really stop once you have started. You HAVE to launch! That is how you separate a receiver from the ball.
The whole idea is preposterous in the game of football. Will the forces, angles, and speed of the game, people can't avoid hitting the head unless they just stop trying to hit people hard. And if that is your ultimate goal, to stop hard hitting, then the game ruined. You can't play effective defense if you can't try and hit the offense hard, especially the WR. Letting the ball be caught and then executing controlled safe tackling makes the defense ineffectual.
They say the rule is for safety, but notice it only goes against the defense. No one penalizes a RB for lowering his head and hitting players. No one calls helmet to helmet contact between lineman in the trenches on the goaline plays. Maybe some of it is for safety, but I think most of it is to turn the game into a lower contact higher scoring game for ratings.
