[Husker] Fake punt

[Pat Gaule]

Without a doubt, the decision to run a fake punt on 4th and 1 from our 
own 25 yard line was the worst call of the season to date.  Before I 
hear any talk of me not complaining if it worked, let me point out that 
it was a needless gamble.  If it suceeds, NU is still many yards away 
from being in scoring range.  If it fails, it almost guarantees free 
points for Auburn.  Basically, the risk is very high and the reward is 
very low.  I am also not convinced that it would have worked had the 
pitch on the reverse not been fumbled.  It looked like Auburn had the 
play completely covered.

When you consider how well the Blackshirts have played, the decision 
looks even worse.  When starting with normal field position, Auburn has 
not been able to generate anything on offense. It's not as hard to score 
when you start two drives inside the opponent's 20 yard line.  
Hopefully, those 7 points will not make a difference at the end of the 
game.  If Nebraska keeps playing the way they are, we should be all 
right.  If we have another 2nd half meltdown, then we're in trouble.
