[personal] [Husker] Cosgrove asked about comments by Misouri coaches and players

[Rod Wellman]

Did you see Buffalo the other night?  In certain situations, all the  
lineman were standing up at the line of scrimmage.  Weird.  Hey,  
there's an idea for Cosgrove:  instead of having 3 down lineman, we  
might as well stand them up, so they can drop back into coverage  
too!  Make them all dbs and safeties while we're at it.  That would  
be crazy, but not so far off of what actually happened:  3 down  
lineman who generated no pass rush at all...they might as well have  
been safeties or dbs.

If the first down yardage was 30 instead of 10, this would be the  
perfect defense :)
