I know, I know. Received this poem in the mail. We do not care about Nebby, but do not read this poem then. Someone has encapsulized the concerns in Lincoln over lack of leadership and half the coaching staff making switches or coming on board. Needless to say, the Barney Cotton oline did not have a good day. Their dline was punctured several times. Their defense is suspect while the offense did okay although they made mistakes. The game was only a TD difference in the fourth quarter and the Husker faithful were asking themselves if they bwere going to be nationally geat again. With the running in the B1G, this game was a warning to the rest of the season. Take the poem for what it is worth. Maybe someone might like to do a similar poem for the Iowa/ISU game.
FRESNO STATE PLAYED WITH BULLDOG DETERMINATION MAKING THE HUSKERS WORK FOR THE WIN
OR
THE DEFENSE RESTS
Time for more Husker football this September date
Huskers took on the Bulldogs from Fresno State
The weather was perfect, a gorgeous football night
Even the planes flyover, it was timed just right
The pregame show honored nine eleven heroes
This before the game when the score board should zeroes
But those zero scores would not stay that way for long
For the Bulldog offense proved to be very strong
First the Husker special teams the Bulldogs did burn
Fresno State scored a touchdown on a punt return
Though Pellini’s true thoughts probably were unlawful
He said Husker special team’s play was God awful
But the Husker option, the Bulldogs then misplayed
You could say the Husker touchdown was Taylor made
But the Bulldogs answered, scored another touchdown
The Huskers’ play on defense made Pellini frown
The Huskers came right back, a long run, a long pass
Then Burkhead took it in, as he stepped on the gas
Right before half Bulldogs put Huskers in a hole
While not making the end zone, they kicked a field goal
And so at the halftime, right there for all to see
The Bulldogs were all fired up as they led by three
For the halftime show, though it was after seven
They honored fallen heroes of nine eleven
Start of Second Half, Husker defense took their licks
The Bulldogs kicked a field goal, and they led by six
But Huskers scored a touchdown, showed they were not done
Martinez to Enunwa, and they led by one
The Huskers kept it going, yes they did indeed
Martinez completed passes to Kyler Reed
Then rather than passing, the Huskers ran instead
Scored on a six yard run by I back Rex Burkhead
The Husker fans felt better, it was getting late
The Huskers looked in control as they led by eight
But the game was not over as the Bulldogs showed
They scored a quick touchdown while in the passing mode
But what happened next made the Husker fans less blue
The Bulldog’s conversion failed as they went for two
What happened next really made the momentum turn
Abdullah scored, a hundred yard kickoff return
The Bulldogs would not quit, though they were in a fix
Another Goessling field goal brought them within six
Huskers needed someone to step up, someone but who
Taylor Martinez was the one who then came through
Taylor scored a touchdown, a forty-six yard run
Husker fans were all smiles, they knew the game was won
But the game was hard fought, any way you mix it
But a Husker problem, Pellini can fix it
Huskers need to keep improving even though they won
For next week they face the Huskies of Washington
And Nebby went B1G based on football and not academics...
