[personal] [Husker] The latest from Bill

[Tommy Thompson]

Steve brought up a good point.  What were the yards/play since 1990? 
Interestingly enough, kinda shows that the offense is back on track.  Notice 
1991 and 1995...Wow!!!  Maybe later I'll try to find the points/possession. 
I agree, that will take some time, though.  It's also a bit misleading.   If 
the defense left you with poor field position, it is much harder to put 
points on the board.
