That loss was a heartbreaker. I think just about anyone could have beaten us last night. Even though we talked about this just being another game it was obvious that it wasn't. We've been so mad about the Texas loss last year that it consumed us. I know I wanted this win more than any other single game this year. Well its obvious that our obsession with the Big 12 game last year cost us this game this year.
We couldn't do anything right. Henery was awesome as usual, but we couldn't catch or hold on to the ball to save our life (and reputation), yesterday. Zac did a great job coming in off the bench and moving us downfield. But he can't throw the ball and then go catch it too. We have no one to blame but ourselves for this one. Were there questionable calls (and non calls)? You bet there were, but if we had taken of business it wouldn't have mattered. The bad news is Texas owns us with a 1 - 8 record and we still haven't beaten them in Lincoln since 1933.
The good news is, we don't have to play them anymore. I just wish if we were going to lose, it would have been to a better team, instead of due to us beating ourselves.
Go Big Red!
