RedHawks review

BLOWOUT.

Man, it seems like a hundred years since we were on the sunny side of one of those. I'm gonna savor it. It matters not even who the opponent was because in the recent era, the Buffs trials and travails have brought losses to even the smallest, most downtrodden schools. So a victory is a VICTORY and a blowout is a BLOWOUT. Boo-yaw!

I'd hoped to finally see a complete effort, a complete game from the Buffs and I think I did. The offense went for 636 yards while reinvigorating the rushing game at 359 yards. That 636 is the most we've gained in a game this decade. And the defense was equally as dominant holding the RedHawks to just 139 total offense yards and an amazing 3-14 3rd down conversions and of course a sweet, sweet shutout. Field goal kicking and punting was rarely or never seen because we were in the endzone so much, you see. Hell and yeah, y'all.

And while the Buffs were cruising to a BLOWOUT victory, over in Lincoln the Corn were struggling for dear life with Miami's MAC brother Ball State. Thanks to a dropped pass and a missed field goal by the Cardinals, NU prevailed 41-40. But let's be clear, the Fuskers are not a good team and apparently should have lost that contest. The venerable (insert sarcasm here) "blackshirt" defense gave up 40 points and 610 yards to BALL STATE. Incidentally, Ball State lost a little game 14-13 just 3 weeks ago to, you guessed it, Miami of Ohio. BAM! So by the transitive properties of college football, the Buffs beat Nebraska last Saturday 42-0. Celebrate!
