[Husker] Turnaround? Food for thought!

[Steve Schmadeke]

I don't believe either game was an example was of a team giving up.  
The last 35 points scored by Tech were the direct result of five 
consecutive turnovers, giving the ball up inside the 14 yard line on 
four of the five.  Four of the turnovers were on consecutive snaps.  
The defense didn't get so much as a three-and-out from the offense 
during the sequence to catch their bearings.  The onslaught was similar 
to what Nebraska suffered at the hands of Chris Brown and Daniel Graham 
at the outset of the 2001 CU game.  After giving up the turnovers 
against Tech, Beau Davis and Nebraska did finish with a couple of first 
downs on the next two possessions against Tech before throwing another 
interception into the end zone.
