[Husker] Bowden: Pass to Nunn was a mistake

[Brown, Laura (LLU)]

I thought it was a great call, almost as good as the one TX beat us with
a few years back.  Only a top notch defensive play kept it from icing
the game.

Except for the time management issues at the end of the game I thought
this was a well coached game and with a lucky bounce of the ball on
either of the last two fumbles we would have won.

Even though it worked, except for a great hit that
forced the ball loose, Terry Bowden felt that throwing
the ball on 3rd down was the wrong call.

I agreed with Bowden on Saturday and still do.  The
risks of throwing the pass (incomplete pass stopping
the clock or a higher chance of a turnover) in that
situation were too great.  Even coming up short in
that situation, Nebraska would have punted the ball
and Texas would have gotten the ball with under 100
seconds, likely inside their own 20 yards, and no
timeouts to drive the field against the wind.
