First, the Big 12 officially hates Nebraska. Or, rather, the Big 12 officials hate Nebraska. The "roughing the passer" penalty that rescued Texas A&M's drive and put them in game-winning field goal range was one of the most ridiculous calls we have ever seen. Plus, if you heard about the personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct double penalties against Huskers tight end Ben Cotton, watch this video and you'll see why at least the personal foul flag was a bad call.
Of course, the Huskers didn't deserve to win that game. (But then, the Aggies didn't either.) Essentially, the offense looked totally lost. Shawn Watson has to be fired. The only time the Huskers ever go down the field, either with Cody Green (a truly awful quarterback) or an injured Taylor Martinez, is when Rex Burkhead carries the ball. But he hardly got any touches before the fourth quarter when, surprise!, the Huskers drove right down the field - until Watson switched to a passing play that fell flat and killed the drive. The Huskers ended up with a field goal instead of a touchdown, and ultimately lost the game by three points.
As a side note, Bo Pelini should get a little more discipline into his actions, both on the field and in press conferences, if he wants his team to play disciplined football. Hopefully athletic director Tom Osborne will help him control his temper a little better.
