[Husker] News from the Stands

[Dan Draney]

The good: 
This year's tunnel walk video was apparently put out to retirement early. It
was back to the Keith Jackson version. (OK, not unadulterated good news.)
The defense sucked less than last week, actually stopping A&M on several
occasions. 
At halftime, I actually thought BC had a chance to break his streak of never
winning when trailing at half.
The offense did some good things when it still mattered, particularly in the
first half.
Castille (minus the fumble) and Helu.
Most people did not leave early.

The bad:
Pretty much everything in the second half.
How many times do you let the QB read the handoff and then run for a big
gain? The answer apparently: about 35.
As Steve Reichenbach said, 3rd and 1 in 4 down territory and you don't run
the ball? You line up without a running back in the backfield? You don't
even put Castille in and pretend your going to give it to him.

Watching the team come through the tunnel at the start of the game, BC
looked unenthusiastic, perhaps even sullen.
