What a pompoused ass.  How great was this offense when it only managed 
to put up 34 points in 3 games against Oklahoma State (73rd ranked 
scoring defense), Texas A&M (53rd ranked scoring defense) and Missouri 
(31st ranked scoring defense)?

Only a fool would point out an anamoly such as Saturday's game and use 
it as proof of greatness.

NOTE to Bill:  NU fans don't care about how many yards your offense 
generates - they care about wins and losses.  Your 4-year record at 
Nebraska is bad.  Please leave immediately.  Thanks!
