That onside kick was one of the worst tactical decisions I have EVER see in football.

I was already starting to sour on Pelini for refusing to dump Shawn Watson, and this just makes it worse.

This was A LOT better showing all around for the Horns!! Overall I would rate it a B- game.

Defense was great. Fewer penilties, but did have two personal fouls that could have been prevented. However shutting down the run and energy where the keys, I think which held Neb to 0 offensive TD's. Pass D was always stellar as always.

Offense was better. GG was by far was the most improved, but credit is due to the o-line for stepping up BIG. Thanks guys!! GG's isnt VY or Colt but gettin 4 or 5 on a 2nd and long helps play calling.

How bout that play calling?? Mr. Davis your off my **** list! Thanks for showing a new look with the 3 bunch. Keep talking to your young qb and build him up some more!

However good this game is I still see some things that will kill Texas in the future. Predictability. Really your gonna call and end around with 3 mins left on a 3rd and 4? How bout a screen out that 3 bunch look. And seriously Mac never ever call that pooch kick G*D DAMN ***** THIS YEAR. After last yrs mess up with the inside shuffle pass in the Nat Champ game your sure dont call it anymore. Let this be your wake up call for that play as well.

Sorry for the rant, I always have words for those I love the most

What Starts Here Changes the World!
Put your Horns Up!
Hook 'Em Horns!

Way to go Longhorns for sending bubble gum chomping Pelini and the Huskers into the loss column for the first time this year! NU is over-rated. They are a one-dimensional team and it came back to bite them when someone covered their only offensive weapon, Martinez. It showed when their receivers couldn't hold on to the ball; they weren't accustomed to some oblong object flying through the air at them, they let that gnat Martinez run around all year. The Huskers have been "outed."
congrats, Longhorns. The comment about receivers not accustomed to some oblong object flying through the air...said it all. They dropped 24-28 points. But the scoreboard tells the tale. Maybe we'll have a replay in the conference championship game.

Nebraska did get some weird calls that went against them that had the announcers scratching their heads. Those non-catches... WOW. You're right about at least 21 points just dropped. But, that is what happens when your receivers aren't accustomed to being thrown to.

I'm not even a Longhorn fan, but I root for the Big XII South. I'm more of a Sooner fan than anything, but all in all, I just like to see good games.

Texas' defense played OUTSTANDING in this game. They executed perfectly. One of the announcers said that they won't lose another game this year; they are probably right.

This win for the Longhorns was huge.

Yeah those Nebraska receivers were way out in front and dropped catches... I thought-- damn we are lucky those guys have slippery hands!
I think the keys to our win was the defense shutting down Martinez and Gilbert's feet (which worked because Nebraska probably didn't prepare for that)

Nebraska will probably still win the Big 12 North-- but I think Missouri may prove to be a big challenge for them...

Y'all are making us Huskers look pretty ridiculous...dropping a game to a team that gets served by Iowa State, at home. Here's to better times ahead for both teams.
