Huskers did about as well as Stephen F Austin vs A&M D.....who just gave up 503 to Baylor...(5.6/play)....
5-15 on 3rd.....only 107 yds passing.....15 1st downs and 2 TO's....if we agree that half of calls were iffy...that's still 8 penalties.....wanna know why Huskers seem like they "always" get screwed....?
because under Pelini .....they are a dumb team...annually ranking at the bottom in penalties....
AND....at the bottom of opponents penalties....
didn't check every team...but don't think you will find a greater discrepancy...
* SMART teams force their opponent to make mistakes....and coaches that actually know how to make the officials call the game in their favor (by not treating them like dogs)
Huskers under Pelini (who looks/acts like a junior high PE teacher with roid rage)
penalties opponents penalties
'08 # 110 116
'09 # 111 79
10 # 101 107
*that 2010 # before A&M game.....about to be worse
in '06 and '07 seasons they were #39
er.....no have nothing against the Huskers....always kinda liked them....thought they were overrated early...but clearly had no business losing to Texas ....AND A&M maybe....but should be 11-0 with sights on BCS title game....Pelini has done a fine job but arguably .....personally cost his team the game last nite....> man if somebody is constantly screaming /cursing at you (looked like an "FU" at one point)....how you gonna call it...?.......> same way
side note .... that same crew called the Texas game (10 pen / 94 yds)......and the 31-30 OT win at Iowa St (6 > 54)
