[Husker] ugly wins and redshirts

[Mike Nolan]

A few thoughts about today's game:

1.  A win is better than a loss, therefore an ugly win is still better 
    than a loss.

2.  I don't see Beck's playing today as significant in the long run, though
    I think he played a key role in this year's season.  There seems to 
    be a theory among some fans that redshirts are a God-given right.  
    I'm sure Beck knew that as the #2 QB he could be called upon to play 
    at any time.  I'd rather have a player willing to take on that role,
    if needed, than one who worries about whether that means he might not
    be playing at the college level in 2009.  

3.  How many people had ever heard of Poulan before they sponsored a bowl
    game (which they no longer sponsor)?

4.  If you could pick Nebraska's bowl opponent (and ignore all the 
    bowl agreements), would any of these schools be on your list?  Rutgers, 
    Vanderbilt, Ohio, Tennessee or Northwestern.  (Yeah, I know the first 4
    aren't bowl eligible--yet.)
