FSU still looking terrible early.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:17 PM ^
FSU and MSU are the two schools that have worse Olines than us. RIP.
As Valenti said, Michigan doesn't have tackles, MSU doesn't have anybody.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:24 PM ^
Valenti can shove his opinion where the sun dont shine, if you know what i mean
September 15th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
Ann Arbor from November through April?
September 15th, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
Or other places lol
September 15th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Bottom of the sea?
September 15th, 2018 at 1:49 PM ^
Pucker!
September 15th, 2018 at 12:12 PM ^
Nebraska looking to outhit Troy today. Maybe they'll settle in to the game, they are at home, and all..
September 15th, 2018 at 12:26 PM ^
While I would love to see the cornsuckers and doughboy lose it would look pretty bad for the big10, so im torn
September 15th, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
Update: Nebraska getting outhit early.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
Turnovers galore. Fun to watch. No more Dean Blandino plz.
September 15th, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
Troy winning won't be great look for big ten, but seems like a small price to pay to have Frost's first season turn into a train wreck.
September 15th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
Troys coach has to be the next hot coaching candidate. LSU last year, Nebraska this year
September 15th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Wow. Troy just went up by 11 with 6:45 to go.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
Would be amazing to see Iowa St. knock off Oklahoma 2 years in a row. Doubtful.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
I freely admit that I'm easily amused, but I find myself looking forward to those Fansville Dr. Pepper commercials. The one question I have is whether being a Tech fan is a recessive gene because if not, someone needs a paternity test kit.
Oh, and nice touchdown by Kent State.
EDIT:
And the onside kick works.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
Kent State is not a bad team really, i bet they keep it close
September 15th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
Soccer is a gateway sport is the best one.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
Ugh, rough start for Nebraska
September 15th, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^

September 15th, 2018 at 12:38 PM ^
So what is the rule when the DB and WR both catch the ball?
September 15th, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^
Mutual possession goes to the receiver.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
So does the ref just make a judgment call? B/c the Troy WR had that ball as much as the Neb DB. Weird.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^
Nebraska fumble ruled down, but it doesn't look like it. Should be Troy's ball.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
Stands. Knew I was in trouble when Blandino agreed with me that the call should be overturned.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Troy is getting screwed by the refs. The INT was a 50/50 catch that should have gone to the offense. That was a fumble by Nebraska and refs compounded the error by flagging Troy Trojans of Troy head coach.
Troy might still win because Nebraska is awful.
Nebraska safety celebrated a 5 yard gain by Troy. Safety should have been tossed for targeting.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
Totally agree. Big time home cooking for Nebraska
September 15th, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
Troy’s coach must have said a magic word because that was extremely poor officiating otherwise.
Also, Nebraska is bad. I want Michigan to beat them...badly.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
PSU's #11 ranking is based on what? An offense of only McSorely? They are going to get pummeled in league play.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
Kent State just got a penalty against PSU for pushing McSorely out of bounds while he was still inbounds and carrying the ball. Announcing crew takes PSU's side. Good to know reffing and announcing crews for this sport are still fucking garbage.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:50 PM ^
Refs help Nebraska out three times in five plays and they still turn the ball over twice in two possessions. I know it's their backup QB, but Frost looks like he subscribes to the Brady Hoke school of thought of "run your QB until they die". Bunch is getting hammered and they're still running him and rolling him out. If your players are getting beaten up at home against Colorado and frigging Troy, what's gonna happen when you play in Ann Arbor and in Columbus this season? Gonna be a long year for the Cornsuckers
September 15th, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
Cornsuckers? Neat
September 15th, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
#90 for Troy....is a large man. Wow.
Also, one team looks lkke a power 5 team and the other looks like a SWAC team. You decide which is which.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nebraska
September 15th, 2018 at 12:53 PM ^
That was one hell of a return for Troy!
September 15th, 2018 at 12:53 PM ^
Hey,remember how everyone thought Nebraska looked good last week? Nope.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:53 PM ^
Frost transparently does not trust Bunch. Without Martinez, Nebraska's gonna die.
September 15th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Rightfully so. Did you see him throw that ball into the end zone?
September 15th, 2018 at 1:06 PM ^
Losing Gebbia to Oregon State is just going to kill Nebraska this year.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:53 PM ^
Wow, nice TD punt return by Troy. I saw one guy setting up a terrible block in the back but he pulled up just in time and nicely walled off the guy.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:53 PM ^
Something is brewing in Lincoln. It smells like rotten corn chowder.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:56 PM ^
What a return from troy.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
Ooof, pretty cheap shot by Kent State defender on McSorley. He went low on him well after he handed on the read. Nothing caleld and the guy didn't have his heart really in it, but something to watch if Kent state is going to lose its cool as a team.
BTW, KSU can't stop Penn State, and the KSU left tackle is having a miserable day.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
So 2 of our next 3 opponents, Nebraska and Maryland, both looking bad early. Nebraska will either be starting this walk-on QB or a true freshman coming off injury in his first career road game with less than 1 career game played against us.
September 15th, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
And the third opponent (NW) scored 7 points at home against Duke last week.
So that's.....a thing
September 15th, 2018 at 1:02 PM ^
What a play by the ISU receiver. Tied with OU at 10.
September 15th, 2018 at 1:02 PM ^
Huge defensive stop there for Troy
September 15th, 2018 at 1:03 PM ^
If we don't pound Nebraska, I'll be pissed.
September 15th, 2018 at 1:06 PM ^
Yeah... they look bad, real bad so far and that's with some bad calls going their way too.
September 15th, 2018 at 1:06 PM ^
Give me some ideas on what I should eat right now
