I agree that other factors do come into play and that practices do 
have a great infuence on the coaches' decisions. I simply proceeded 
on the assumption (dangerous thing, that!) that all four Husker 
Horses would be practicing well due to the competition for playing 
time.

As for that other game, me and myself and I have agreed to wipe it 
from memory.       :-)
