Watching the MSU-Nebraska game on delay. Did those dumbf**kers just punt from the 31 yard line??? That might be the dumbest play I have ever seen.
I seriously wonder if that is a record. Has anyone EVER punted before from the 31 yard line?
The teams punted 45 times, sometimes on first down, which is highly unusual in football. The strategy was based on the weather in that both teams felt it better to have the ball in the hands of their opponents near the end zone and hope for a fumble of the slippery ball.
I have no idea, but I have to imagine that this game could have been close:

Michigan won the game 9–3, despite never getting a first down and failing on all nine pass attempts.

The last time I called someone "retarded" in this forum, I was reprimanded. lol
Uh, how about going for it?? You are risking almost nothing (it was an 11 yard punt) to keep the ball deep in your opponent's territory. If you don't want to pass it then hand it off to your Heisman candidate and see what he can do with it. What, MSU gets it on the 29 instead of the 20? Heck, lob it downfield, what's the worse that could happen? An interception? A fumble? Either way MSU gets the ball. And there is just as much risk getting the punt blocked or run back as an interception return.
That makes sense .bo pellini didnt make that call it was feaux pellini
That makes sense .
Watching the game I thought Nebraska was much more dynamic with a healthy Taylor Martinez. Even though Husker fans seemed to despise him, he was really good at times.
