[personal] Re: [Husker] My Take On The Game and the Defense

[Skylar Dodds]

Hello Husker Fans,

That's almost my point exactly.  Zac had a bad day and some of that
can be credited to the defense, but definitely not all.

Zac bad day + Very good OU defense = 7 points   :(

whereas

Zac bad day + mediocre opp defense = probably 21 points (@KSU)   :)

I certainly would not place the blame solely on Zac, but I would say
he played probably his worse game this year while the NU defense
probably played one its best (at least since @KSU).

There, now we know everything! :)
