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

[Smith, William]

One of the things that really impressed me about both the H&L and the SoL (2 pt. conversion) was their timing.  Since they had those plays ready to go, imagine the discipline it took not to use them earlier.  

Not to be jumping all over Callahan, but I can't help but think if he'd been coaching that game those plays would have come out in the first half.  

Sticking with Callahan for the moment, it seems perfectly acceptable to see progress in a nine-win season where we played higher-ranked teams close.  After all, we tolerated twenty years of that with TO.

That wasn't very apparent from the execution of it.

Osborne always had a few trick plays in the playbook, like the fumblerooski, 
and I'm told they'd practice one of them at the end of each day's practice.  

I'd bet Boise State practices them much more than that, that behind-the-back
variant on the Statue of Liberty play that they used to win the game lookd 
VERY WELL REHEARSED.
