[Husker] Visors

[Dick Karre]

I would think these silly things would impede the vision of the guys wearing
them, especially in a night game. As to providing an advantage, I suppose
it's just what Gary mentioned - that the opponents can't see the player's
eyes. I'm sure this is why USC is winning. Sixteen starters return for the
Trojans next year. Whoa, Nellie!
