Nebraska got fucked by officials

It was a noisy night in Texas as fans made enough noise to cause communication problems. Both teams looked great at the beginning and then penalties came. The more calls the umpires made, the hotter the Bo Pelini Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach got.

Several times he was shouting bad words at the officials and his players. It’s really hard to stay calm when it seems like every call is going against you. I don’t recall seeing any penalties for Texas A&M. Nebraska had at least 19 penalties that included multiple personal fouls and even a bench personal foul directed at the Huskers’ coach.

You could tell that in the 4th quarter he had calmed down because he knew he would be kicked out if he kept his attitude. The Huskers were tied 6-6 and moving up the field when they were bombarded with penalties that prompted the Aggies to win the ball back. It was third and long and the Aggies quarterback throws and misses, the Huskers are cheering but wait, there’s a flag on the play. It’s a late hit from a Husker who had nearly sacked the quarterback. It was a routine hit, there was nothing late about it. This penalty pushed the Aggies forward, allowing momentum to build and eventually scoring the final field goal to carry the game to a 6–9 Aggies victory.

Don’t get me wrong, Texas A&M played a great game and I wouldn’t take anything away from them, but the umpires who voided the game were horrible and made too many mistakes, from clock management, uncalled pass interference, and personal fouls to where they called in my opinion just to spite Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini. Because of this, I am sure that Husker fans will feel that the Huskers were misled by the officials.
