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

[Gary Jones]

I absolutely agree. Wonderful game. Probably one of the most exciting I have 
ever watched. Peterson did a brilliant job setting up the plays. (My 
favorite was the two point converstion play. at the end of regulation. What 
a well-conceived play).

My only point is that had Rabb dropped the lateral, game over. Peterson's 
brilliant gameplan and stategy does no good if the players fail to execute 
it.

That being said, I also agree with you that Callahan sometimes is "too 
clever by half". Hopefully he addresses this issue.
