Take away Indiana's 4 big plays and it might have been a shutout.
Make our FG and it's tied.
One call going our way instead of Indiana's and we might win.
Scott Frost taught me that a loss is a loss, but man it's hard to not look at our decade of suck and then this game and feel like we have made some major progress.
Edit: some of you guys need to read my last sentence again....
Edit 2: Jesus you guys. The second half of the post is the important part. We lost. Indiana took advantage of our mistakes in a way that only good teams can do. We lost. It doesn't change the fact that we looked like a real football team against a very well coached football team that won the natty last year.
Do you know what "bailed out" means? It was RTP, but the penalty didn't cause the interception, so we absolutely got bailed out by a really stupid penalty and then didn't do shit with it.
It was the forearm to the head that made the ref think "oh that looked bad" as a person who was watching Husker Football in 2009 all "you hit the QB like you would any other player, but they are special snowflakes" flags annoy me though...
