[Husker] Good among the bad

[Andrew Smith]

I'll mention only one "bad' from today's game - it seems the rest is 
already covered and I know more will be posted.  Zac's pass interception 
which took away a scoring opportunity, changed the momentum, and set up 
Auburn's first score, shouldn't have been thrown (the receiver was 
sandwiched between two defenders) and shouldn't have been thrown high.

But, despite the pain of another lost game that Nebraska should have 
won, there is alot to be happy about.  When you look at the team, from 
the seniors to the freshman, this team has the talent to compete with 
anyone and that bodes well for the future.  There were concerns about 
Cosgrove and his staff (based on their history at Wisconsin), but 
despite stats that look average, I thought the defense played quite well 
in all of the big games.  I'm not yet sold on Cosgrove, but most of this 
year's disappointments were not due to the defense.  Finally, most if 
not all of the bad things from this year are either fixable and/or may 
be some of the bad luck that teams sometimes hit one year (like the 
strange year of fumble-itis a few years back that sunk Nebraska's NC 
chances).

Though it didn't end as we would have liked, it was an entertaining and 
exciting year and there are many reasons to be positive about 2007.

Go Big Red!
