[QUOTE="lexwaldez, post: 1424859, member: 9817"] If you watched that Maryland game the players looked TOTALLY disinterested. Body language was horrible and the performance spoke for itself. After kicking one player from the team, another walking out, and then that loss I certainly thought the staff was in danger of losing the team BEFORE the Maryland game. I don't say that to complain about the staff, but rather offer it up in stark contrast to how well the team came together for the Minnie game. Hats off to the staff for the game plan, keeping the kids motivated, getting them interested and getting them to play that hard. When the ref's started screwing us, the kids didn't fold; the kids got angry. I thought play actually improved a bit after the horrid calls. I was very impressed with how much improvement I saw on Saturday. Bush's timing was better, he didn't hold onto the ball as much, he was looking downfield and he seemed more accurate. For the most part there seemed to be fewer mistakes on the lines. The D looked different (which is good). I know Minnie contributed to this to a large extent, but the kids took advantage of it. That was a hell of a turnaround after all the bad news following the Purdue and Maryland losses. Gotta slow clap everyone on that. A week ago I figured Nebraska had us circled on their schedule for a win. Now I'm thinking it might be a game. Let's see if they can contain our run game. [/QUOTE]
