Alan -

I thought about it as well, all during the 4th quarter yesterday.  The 2001
score was 62-38 (24 pts), and of those, at least 21 points were off of
turnovers when Nebraska got behind, panicked, and tried to force plays that
weren't there in an attempt to catch up.  (Incidentally, that is a
noticeable difference between the Solich/late Osborne teams and the first
two Callahan teams -- the ability to play from behind.  <flameretardant> Not
making a Solich v. Callahan judgement here -- just an observation.
</flameretardant>)

We got 0 points off the single CU turnover yesterday, thanks to the hometown
clock operator.  8^)  In blackjack terms, we had a "hard" 27, vs. CU's
"soft" 24 in 2001.
