[Husker] Comments on the Game and the List

[Steve Stone]

I thought I interrupt the List's morbid fascination concerning the 
numer of angels that can dance on the head of a pin (Solich vs. 
Callahan) and offer a comment or two on Current Events (Husker 
football fortunes):

1. While a couple of newspaper columns have mentioned in passing that 
the O-line started one true freshman, three sophomores, and one 
junior - - yet this startling stat seems to have attracted no notice 
whatever on the HuskerList. These very junior underclassmen played an 
outstanding game against a good Big XII defense. Nothing I've seen 
this year bodes as well for future Husker squads.

2) Nobody on the List seems to have noticed that Major Culbert played 
in a truly remarkable way for a true freshman. He seems the likely 
candidate to replace Shanle when the time comes.

3) Does anybody have any idea why neither Glenn nor Wilson played a 
single down?

4) Didn't anybody notice that about half of Jake Wesch's Husker 
kickoffs wound up as touchbacks? To my way of thinking, that 
catapulted the kickoff game into another dimension.

5) Carricker makes a pretty fair nose tackle, don't you think?
