What a game this was! We can say the student section has greatly improved since our last letter. So many things to talk about with this game. Good things, bad things, and some overall HuskerNation ness things.
First of all, the student section was loads and loads better and more respectful that at the last home game. Yes, of course there was your usual potty mouthed, "nothing is ever fair" fan who thinks every call from a ref is fixed. But besides that, the student fans were hyper, ecstatic, and great fans of football. We were proud to sit in the student section this time. Well done.
Secondly, the Huskers started off the first quarter with a BANG! Which was completely and utterly fantastic! Just minutes into the game, 2:44 PM to be exact, Roy Helu Jr (who we'll get to in a moment) ran a 66-yd touchdown for Nebraska!!!! The student section, to say the least, went bezonkers! And the game just kept getting better from there! We had alot of really great tackles from the Nebraska Blackshirts (and yes, we had some misses as well) and DeJon Gomes really played his part this game.
One of the things we noticed, YET AGAIN, was the opposing team, in this case Mizzou, throwing the bones. WHAT THE HECK?! Why does every team we play, think they can throw the bones? That's ours and ours alone. It's kind of aggrivating. Also, many of Mizzou's players had little bouts of anger, and their anger management doesn't work very well. Roughing our players infront of the refs? Missouri, there is no reason for you to shove and hit our players on the field. Period.
Yet, some of the good things we saw on the field are as follows. Missouri Sports Medicine trainers running out onto the field to help Huskers Defensive Back Ciante Evans when he was taken down in the endzone. Moments like those show it's not all about winning the game, it's about having a good time and making sure people are ok. Also, out of nowhere, COURTNEY OSBOURNE TACKLES MIZZOU QUARTER BACK!!!!!! That was awesome!!! The fans, including us, went willlld! And maybe Mizzou isn't such a bad team. Player #85 of the Tigers leaned down to give Roy Helu Jr. a hand up after he took him down. Good sportsmanship, Tigers!
Some of the crazy stuff that happened at this game are as follows. "The Cornhuskers played without quarterback Taylor Martinez in the second half after he came up hobbling following a hit from Kenji Jackson on a run late in the second quarter. Zac Lee took over to start the third quarter."- Huskersillustrated.com. Luckily for most of the Nebraska Husker fans ( we like all of our players), Martinez is expected to be ok for next week's game. Also, "Helu was sensational carrying the offensive load whether Martinez was in or out of the game. He totaled 228 yards after his first 10 carries on his way to breaking the Nebraska record of 294 yards set by Calvin Jones against Kansas in 1991."-Huskersillustrated.com. Nebraska Cornhuskers Running Back, #10, Roy Helu Jr. was amazing this game. It was heard several times around the student section that he was this games "MVP". We just have to agree with that. Did we mention, HE BEAT that record by Calvin Jones!!!! A whopping 307 yards in a SINGLE GAME!! The plays he made were fantastic. The team was doing a great job playing as a team and Helu was able to make some runs and take some hits that ended up giving us the game!
All in all, it was a great game. Stay classy, UNL. We will always love you (and players like Roy Helu Jr.).
Sincerely,
killa & barney
