[Husker] Personal Data; greatest hits?

[Duane Feldman]

Ben Gay was another primo running back that we lost to Baylor.  He was All-World in high school and for some reason chose Baylor over us (damn, Kevin Steele could recruit) and he ended up with a career much like Odell's -- not much.

Much ado about nothing.

I can't recall that I've ever been completely wrong about a player.... on 
the other hand, I have this nagging feeling that I'm wrong about 
everything. 

Maybe it's list history, or is it the affects of 17 years of marriage? 

Something to ponder......
