Last Time Hoke Faced Off Against the Huskers: 2007

Submitted by markusr2007 on

Hoke was coaching Ball State, QB Nate Davis, TB Miquale Lewis and WR Dahnte Love.

Nebraska had Bill Callahan, QB Sam Keller, TB Marlon Lucky, WRs Terrance Nunn and Maurice Purify, plus DT Ndamukong Suh.

Hoke's BSU team racked up 610 yards in total offense to Nebraska's 552.

BSU attempted a 55 yard field goal with 00:12 on the clock, but missed.

Excellent stat wrap of the game here: http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=1246678

Just kidding, thanks for that, it's interesting. Hopefully he puts up another 610 yards along with...however many points that usually equates to. And Mattison does his thing.

I never got to see that game or our 9th straight win over JoePa that day because of a wedding.  (Why must people schedule weddings during the Fall?)

It's interesting that Ball State almost pulled the upset but Nebraska was really bad that year.  And their defense was epic bad.  Like 2010 Michigan defense bad.

Interesting that Cosgrove actually replaced Bo Pelini as Husker DC in 2004. Solich was fired after 10-3 finish in favor of Callahan and I guess Pelini got out of Dodge, bound for LSU.

Cosgrove was coming from a 7-6 Wisconsin squad (under Barry Alvarez).  Geesh!
