Nebraska football 2012 season so far


 Nebraska Football has taken a start in which fans may not have expected. They looked average in their season opener against Southern Miss but lost their starting running back Rex Burkhead to a knee injury and pulled off a 49-20 victory and continued to lead the nation in the longest home opener winning streak with 27 home opener wins.
      But then things took a turn for the worse when they were stunned by UCLA in their first loss of the season, losing 30-36. The Blackshirts did not show up to play that saturday in pasadena. It is obvious that the husker offense isn't as potent with out Rex Burkhead. but they were still abel to put up 30 points on the bruins, with the help of husker kicker Brett Maher, running back Ameer Abdullah, And the one and only Taylor Martinez
        The huskers came back home after a tough loss and turned things around with a huge victory against the arkansas state red wolves, winning 42-13. The strange thing about this game, was that head coach Bo Pelini left in an ambulance at half time. The huskers went on to finish the game no problem.
         After the Bo Pelini scare, the huskers went on to destroy The Idaho State Bengals 73-7. Even though it was a given, since Idaho State is an FCS team and they are subpar compared to the level of power nebraska is.
          Last saturday was homecoming, and that saturday night definitely had a different feel to it in lincoln. Both teams wearing their alternate uniforms. Which for nebraska, was big, because nebraska usually doesn't like to change their uniforms. Even a little change with the stripe on the shoulder sparked a big controversy. As for the game, a sloppy start turned into a beautiful finish for the 22nd ranked cornhuskers on homecoming night. Lincoln was definitely buzzing after this great victory, and the students partied all night long.
