What's all this obsessing over Nebraska? Worried?

Beano, isn't that a pill you take prior to eating beans... Anyway, not obsessing, just happens to be the next opponent...

Scott,

If you have an opportunity, please watch the play where Brian Cushing was injured. I spoke with a Pac 10 referee on Tuesday 9-4-07 and he said that should have been a penalty against Idaho. Cushing was engaged with an Idaho lineman when the other Idaho player clearly dove at Brian’s knee.

From my perspective, it was a dirty play!

What is your take?

RB..Dirty play is all part of the game. When you have that #1 target on your back the entire NCAA wants to stick it to you. Fight On!

Of course it was a dirty play. It was both an illegal crack back block and you cannot block below the waist, even in the nuetral zone, when the defender is being engaged by another player on the offensive team. This sort of thing happens all the time though. The official probably didn't see the crack back coming and got surprised by the play.

Scott, since your there and very close to the program can't you convince the O and D starters to boycott practice so they will be injury free come game day?
