Reflection on Loss #1: Colorado 33 Nebraska 28. 2018.
After a cancellation against the Akron Zips due to inclement weather, Coach Scrote had the boys and husker nation foaming at the mouth when long time Big 8 rival and irredeemable pieces of shit the Colorado Buffaloes came to town. The Coach Scrote era started off with a fumble deep in CU territory by Scrote pet Greg Bell followed by a CU TD drive, an Adrian Martinez fumble, and another CU TD drive. But Coach Scrote is a winner who teaches his team how to win and he corrected course after that and the Big Red went into halftime up 21-17. Nebraska held a narrow lead against the Puffs until late in the 4th quarter. CU had 3rd and 24 from its own 45 with a 1:15 left in the game. Stevie Montez sailed the ball high to make it 4th down by Antonio Reed chose paralysis rather than analysis and went in to permanently cripple the CU WR resulting in an unnecessary roughness penalty. The next play Montez hooked up with Laviskha Shenault for a 40 yard TD and that was all she wrote for the Coach Scrote era starting off on a positive note.
The 29th (and probably final if the season goes how I expect it to go) Scrote Stat:
During the 4 years we've had Coach Scrote, two trends have emerged, we turn the ball over too fucking much and our special teams are terrible no matter how much special attention they get from Scrote. But how much did these repeated, and apparently uncorrectable, failures cost us last season in the era of single digit loss? Here's how many points offense/special teams gave up last season in each loss.
Illinois 9 points safety + fumble return TD
OU 2 points blocked PAT returned for 2 (lel)
Michigan State: 7 points. Punt returned TD.
Michigan; 0 points
Minnesota: 0 points
Purdoodoo: 7 points. Pick 6
Ohio State: 0 points
Wisconsin: 7 points. Kick return TD
Cockeye: 7 points. Blocked punt return TD.
Points given up by Offense/Special teams: 32
Lost by a total of 49 points.
For what it's worth, Nebraska missed 4 extra points and 8 field goals on the season too which would have been an additional 28 total points.
But what good would 60 points have done us anyways?
