I had the pleasure of going home last week and ran into a few of my buddies who were Husker fans out at the bars Wednesday Night (While it is mainly Gopher country, SW Minnesota also has its fair share of Husker and Hawkeye fans as well). They unanimously wanted Pelini gone. I asked them about the Gopher game from last week, and they that despite the back they were up 21-7 at the half, they said they never felt that they were winning the game and were just getting lucky, which I agreed with. They also had the sentiment that the Gophers kicked the tar out of the Huskers physically for the 2nd year in a row.
When Gordon shredded them the week before, you would think that they would make the adjustment outside. Nope, Leinder made them pay with the read option and got it to the outside time and time again.
If the Iowa QB made better plays last Saturday, Huskers go 0-3 in the Big 10 West round robin tourney, which many thought Nebraska would win.
This comes with a big caveat however... Nebraska needs this hire to hit, or else they start to fall behind Iowa and NW in Big 10 West supremacy.
