      And you are correct in this because........?  I made the comment about 
my memory to be a little light hearted at the time.  The reason I am not 
going to at this time acknowledge your point because I am not sure you are 
correct.  You have done really nothing to back your point other than to say 
ESPN and I are wrong.  I remember the 1971 team very vividly.  I was 21 
years old at the time so I was old enough to remember.  I remember the 
Huskers throwing an amount dishing it out to many different receivers.  I 
also remember the roots of what was to become the power I and option attack 
of the 90's took place in the early 70's and gained momentum through the 
next 20 years.
