If you missed the Nebraska at Colorado game last Saturday, you missed one of the better games of the young college season. You can probably catch a replay on YouTube.

Both teams are young, but loaded with talent. The Cornhuskers, led by Scott Frost, were up 17-0 at halftime. Nothing was working offensively for the Buffalos, but their defense was keeping them within striking distance.

Telling his players to forget the scoreboard, play one down at a time and let their superior physical conditioning become paramount, longtime NFL and college assistant, Colorado HC Mel Tucker and his staff engineered a huge comeback that found the game tied at 31 at the end of regulation.

Although 70% of the crowd was dressed in Nebraska Red, the Buffalos prevailed 34-31 in OT.

In case you're wondering, Tucker has a five year $15M deal that pays him $2.4M in 2019-20.
