Will Bo Pelini Make A Difference At Nebraska
Bo Pelini was passed over for Bill Callahan and now he must turn around a program that in truth is really not very good right now. The famed blackshirts defense was one of the worse in the NCAA this year. That was a part of Nebraska football that people took great pride in at Nebraska. Pelini was the defensive coordinator at Nebraska before so that is one area that should improve quickly.
Offensively I look for Pelini to go back to the run first style offense that Nebraska has been famous for. The west coast offense that Bill Callahan brought in just didn't work out for Nebraska and that's why he isn't the head coach anymore. It will be interesting to see what changes Bo Pelini make right away as he has a lot of work ahead of him.
New England Patriots Still Perfect
The New England Patriots didn't play their best game of the season, but did just enough to win and that's all that really matters. The Patriots stop the Chargers by a score of 21-12 as when the fourth quarter arrived the patriots were able to run the ball and chew up the clock and the Chargers had no answers to stop their running game.
In the Chargers defense though Phillip Rivers was hurt and L.T. only play for three plays before sitting rest of the game out. The Chargers had plenty of chances in the red zone, but couldn't get it in the end zone. This basically cost them the game and that is why the Chargers are going home and the Patriots are going to the Super Bowl.
Giants Are Super On Way To Super Bowl
Eli Manning wasn't given much of a chance today and I will admit I was one of those. I thought that Brett Favre would have no trouble moving the ball against the Giants defense, but it didn't work out that way. manning did enough to keep the Giants in the game and Lawrence Tymes made a good on a field good in overtime making up for two field goal missed late in the game to give the Giants a 23-20 win in overtime.
Brett Favre struggled to move the ball and a interception in overtime hurt the packers chances of winning the game. Favre will probably be back next year as they wasn't expected to get this far. The Giants have played the patriots already this season and this should be an interesting matchup as the Giants could have beat the patriots before. Should be a great Super Bowl.
