Let's not mince words.  It was Zac's worst game this year.
He played eight games without an interception.  He played 
four games with just 1 interception.  Then in this game he 
throws 3 interceptions?  Please.  


Not sharp?  Not sharp?  Zac was not sharp against USC
(50% completions) and threw no interceptions.  Zac was 
not sharp against Kansas (45% completions) and threw no 
interceptions.  Against Oklahoma Zac had a meltdown.

**********************************

I guess I don't understand the venom here. Zac carried this team most of the year and for whatever reason didn't have a good game against OU.  If anything, it highlights just how important ZT was to the Huskers this year.  He has a bad game and you jump all over him because he didn't win it for you.  Get a grip.

I've been there.  With the game on the line, you want to do everything you can to win it.  Sometimes you badly want to get the job done so you do it yourself.  But even Michael Jordon lost some of the those games. Zac happened to lose this one.  But get off his back, he won several others ths year, including TAMU.

You and Jeff basically agree but he seems to want to call your sister "less than the most attractive girl in the room" and you insist on calling her "butt ugly."  The former makes the point without getting vindictive.

On a tangential note:  Has anyone noticed that key players seemed to have their worst  games against their home state schools?  Lucky  fumbled a key opportunity against USC, Nunn fumbled the game away against Texas (along with other errors) and Taylor played his worst game against his home town team. (And Stevie Hicks never had a good game in his career against NU either).  Maybe we should build this into our game plans.
