[Husker] Fake punt

[Scott R Lawson]

BS...he should've learned this crap years ago. What, is Nebraska some damn experiment for Callahan to figure out how to win in college?

I have offically switched to a Callahan skeptic. This freaking game should have been a lock, and I don't care what anyone who thinks they know what they are talking about says about how great Auburn adjusted in the second half. The Nebraska game plan absolutely sucked, particularly in the second half, much like it did in the USC game.

This clown better figure out how to play to win instead of playing to go 9-7 and make the damn wildcard game every year- can someone tell him this is not the NFL?
