[Husker] Where were the CB's?

[Steve Reichenbach]

The safties did have some misplays.  One of them, Green motioned
the corner to take single coverage and then didn't cover in the
middle on the other receiver.  Another play, the linebackers got
sucked in and the MU receiver was wide open.  I have no idea where
the saftey was.

The first half was as near a complete as NU has played.  The second
half, the defense did not look good.  NU gave up more than 359yds
and 22 first downs, much of that in the second half.

As for the crowd being not so loud.  I think that was true, in part
to NU taking a solid lead.

Still, this was a big win for NU, the team, and the coaches.  The
offense looked pretty good today outside of a couple of dropped
passes.
