[Husker] USA Today editorial

[JustDrew]

Saraceno seems to imply that if only TO had cut LP in '95, all of LP's
problems would have been solved and no one would have been hurt again by
his uncontrolled violence.

Yeah, sure. 

We know that only current and former Cornhusker football players commit
assault in this country. Why not just dissolve the team and rid America
of domestic violence once and for all?

*sigh*

It's true that LP sure contributed to the shock and awe witnessed upon
Spurier's otherwise cocky face that glorious January day in Tempe, but
it's not like he carried the team. 

Take away his 3 TDs and we still win 41 to 24 (I know it doesn't work
like that in the real world, but he wasn't the biggest factor- nothing
could have stopped that team)
