I’m looking at the ball. The camera angle is pretty good. I would say Stratton let go of the ball about six inches past the 20, and touches Johnson’s hands about a foot beyond the 20.
Just got back back from the Iowa/ Nebraska game

I guess I disagree. First Johnson was already passed the defender, and it wasn't a hard push and was more at the side than back imo. Could have been called though.

Pray in your endzone.
That is t-shirt worthy!
I thought it was a clip at first too, but after slowing it down frame by frame that was actually a great block. He gets him more from the side with one hand on the front of the shoulder pad which nudges the defender towards the inside of the field. He fell trying to get turned back outside toward Johnson.
#6 and #7 might have got away with subtle holds that would have been nits if called, it’s close. But nothing compared to the way ISU, OSU and MSU held our DB’s earlier in the season without getting called.
Blocker was engaged when defender turned. That is not a block in the back.
There’s another video that shows the replay from the backfield POV. No way that is a block in the back. See 1:15-1:20 frame at .5x
The best part of their tantrum about praying on our logo is that their fans say they pray in the end zone at home games.
It’s more about doing it on the other teams logo than praying.
As a life long husker fan, all I can say is this was a dictionary case of appropriately applied Karma. Faith and honor held high? Not an effin chance. Nebraska football got exactly what it deserved that night.
The Husker Prayer
A few years ago Frank Solich's Ohio team got called for it. Cost them the game. He was PISSED.
That's the only time I've seen it called in 40+ years of watching football.
This is what a pregame prayer should be about, not about creating scuffles and have police protecting the logo.
Kinda like the fair catch call that wasn’t a fair catch call. We’ll never see that called again like that from the replay booth.
Regarding the delay of game call request, kinda hard to be a delay of game when Nebraska called a time out at the point he was ready to kick as if a time out wasn’t called. Can’t just stop when the wheels are in motion.
Not necessarily arguing against you but this was well before there were fans in the stands. Well before the players were dressed. This isn't the same thing as your videos.
Also, we haven't heard from anyone but Nebraska on the why's of it all. The cops may have been told to stop ANYONE from being on the logo for any reason. They may do the same thing for every single game and every single team. We don't know.
Yes, but do you have more sportsmanship, talking trash to a kid? I'm kidding, of course.
We had a scuffle at USC this year, Colorado last year, and oh by the way, we lost all of those games. Just go in, get ready to play, show sportsmanship and respect win or lose.
Watch Nebraska volleyball and their behavior, that's what champions look like.
Especially that girl who shoplifted multiple times and stayed on the team.
I do like John Cook. Helluva of a coach. He seems like a guy that should be AD when he retires from coaching.
One DUI and a shoplifting.
0-40 has made you hateful. A freshman player made mistakes and did some dumb things. Cook has stood by her. She has endured a lot of trash talk across the net this year. I don't see her blowing the second chance she was given.
She has one helluva of a back row attack. Very good player. Kids make dumb mistakes so hopefully she learns from them and doesn’t repeat them.
I don't see him doing that, I think he's 68 now. His assistant coaches have done very well for themselves too. I'm assuming his replacement is already on the staff.
She wears 27 in honor of her dad as her sister did at Michigan. It's pretty touching to see the siblings compete on the court, and hug at the end of the match. Bergan Reilly and her sister did this year too.
Again, sportsmanship and respect, it's what champions do.
If Higgins said it in a calm, measured tone….no way refs call that a penalty, or even hear such a comment.
You been around any 11 year old girls lately? They're freaking mean. I talk smack to hide the fact I'm a little bit scared.
I just watched the replay again for about the 10th time.
You see an Iowa TE/WR running back towards the line of scrimmage and put his hands on someone's back. Can't make out the number, but it isn't egregious and those seldom are called so close to the ball carrier.
Usually you see it more in the open field when it's blatantly obvious.
The most glaring issue was the 3/4 Nebraska defenders that made half assed efforts to tackle.
That was middle school level tackling execution.

It doesn’t make any sense at all for it to be a delay of game, as the game is STOPPED when the TO is called. Now, if he did it after the play clock started up again, maybe. But they hadn’t even gone to commercial yet, lol.
After this weekend that seems like the most prudent move anyway. Hypocritical public prayer aside.
It's for attention. They can talk to their sky fairy in the endzone. There's a smaller Tigerhawk there if they want.
