***OFFICIAL NEBRASKA AT MINNESOTA, BUDDING RIVALRY, $5 BITS OF BROKEN CHAIR IN-GAME THREAD!!!***















If you’re going to punt, try not be an idiot and just take the penalty pj. It isn’t hard to figure out. It’s junior high level coaching
 




Fleck is trying to keep Nebraska off balance by sending the offense out on 4th and 1 and then calling a TO with 15 seconds left on the play clock and then punt instead.

The football gods are punishing the cowardice of punting on 4th and inches at midfield. Hopefully the D can make an adequate sacrifice to atone and hold them to a field goal
 

This is exactly why you go for it there instead of punting it back to them, stupid pj.
 






That's the running game we've been missing!!!
