[Husker] Cousin Rich, the sequel

[Kaufsss at aol.com]

Not exactly sure why we are even discussing this - Cousin Rich (and by  
association Bill) are just drive by flamers of one sense or another - post a  
highly charged email from someone 'with much more knowledge than I'- say I won't  
respond to anyone's comments because I am off board - then magically reappear 
to  come down to our level and respond to some comments about his flame!!!   
Then say - sorry, I'll go back in my hole now!!  OK bye!

Hey, can I play too?  
How about this one:   Bill is a [jerk].  Did I get that right?

Yes, we stopped the vaunted Oklahoma running game.

So what?  We only gave up 14  points (to a Top 10 team).

Who exactly was supposed to carry the ball for the last 
25  minutes?  Brandon was gone.  Marlon had a bad back
and was too  important to the passing game to risk
pounding the rock.  Cody, I  believe, had some sort of
injury.  Kenny played for a short while, but  didn't
play well.

Besides, we were down by 14 points for the entire  4th
quarter.  We naturally looked to the passing game for
some quick  scores.

Please.  Zac  is confused, and you blame it on the coaches?  
Zac is a big boy.   He's watched the film.  He's done the 
reps.  He carries the  can.

When Zac plays well, we justifiably sing his praises --
Zac gets  the credit, not the coaching and scheming.  So 
when Zac plays poorly,  the blame goes on him, not on the 
coaching and scheming.

It's amazing.  Our defense was so  bad, yet Oklahoma was
only able to score 14 points on them.

> It  tells you how [ridiculous] our defensive coaching is!  

I don't know  why you guys want to keep rehashing this [crap].
We did not lose to Oklahoma  because of our [ridiculous]
defense.  We lost because Purify fumbled in  the first minute.
We lost because Zac turned the ball over four times.

Turnovers lost us the game.  It wasn't the  coaches; it wasn't
the gameplan.  We out-yarded Oklahoma on the  ground.  We out-
yarded them in the air.  Our defense held them to  14 points.
The game was ours for the taking.  The fact that we  fumbled
the game away is not the fault of the coaches.
