[Husker] Boise's Chris Peterson is a GENIUS!!!

[Kenneth McKillip]

Gerald, did you watch the game live?  I had trouble going to sleep after
that game I was so juiced.  I saw it differently than you portray.

I didn't say or even think he had "brass balls".  I actually did not think
he took unnecessary risks.  There was not that "I'm going to prove how smart
I am and out cute you" quality to his pay calling.  To me it was more "this
is what we can do to win" and he kept coming up with winners.

1) the hook and ladder (on 4th and 19)
2) the QB in motion snap to running back who threw for the extra point in
regulation
3) the modified statue of liberty for the winning 2 point conversion
   (If I was him and had that play ready I would have gone rather than
    face another OT. It was actually the best odds of winning against
    a physically superior OU team.)
 
What was Obsbornesque about the whole thing was how Petersen set Stoops up
one play after another.  Each play relied on OU biting on something he
showed them earlier.  He was always a step ahead and OU fell into it
everytime.

For those of you who didn't see it you need to.  OU was brilliant themselves
at the end of regulation.  Drove the field, converted on the two point after
3 attempts. Fabulous interception to go up a touchdown with a minute left.
AP scoring on the first play in OT.

And then the guys who scored the winning touchdown in the biggest game in
Boise St. history proposes to his girlfriend the head cheerleader and she
says yes.

CALLAHAN IS AN IDIOT!!!!


Why, because their players executed or did not execute the scheme.

    What if Rabb had booted away the hook and lateral pitch that hit him in 
the hands?

    We praise the gutsiness of going for two in overtime. That is not 
textbook. You have been stopping OK all day. You have been amassing yards. 
Why throw away such a valient effort with an ill-conceived risky call? Yet 
because it worked it is considered gutsy and "brass balls".

Sometimes players execute, sometimes they do not. Sometimes the ball bounces

toward you, sometimes away from you. That is what we call the breaks of the 
game.
