[Husker] Freshman team

There was discussion on this list about a freshman team at NU.  The win at
Boulder was practically by a freshman team.  Counting redshirts and
transfers, the only player that was on last year's depth chart who made a
contribution (granted, a large contribution) was Corey Ross.

Also, that middle screen to Ross, the same one that worked so well against
WF, I think, was a great call at that point.  It was also misidentified by
several Lincoln and Omaha sports reporters after the game, who called it a
dump-off or a swing pass.

And the ABC announcers weren't the worst I've heard, but were a cure for
insomnia.  I listened to Pinnacle even with a 5-10 second delay with the
satellite video.  I liked Rose's exuberance and I thought he gave good
information while getting excited.  On one Husker TD call, however, I
expected him to finish with, "The Giants win the pennant!  The Giants win
the pennant!
