[Husker] Special Game Plan

Tue Sep 11 21:49:33 CDT 2007

Last year's game plan was what was needed against USC. Run clock, keep their 
offense off the field, stay close enough to strike. If you recall, the game 
plan wasn't at fault it was the execution of the game plan. If Taylor-Lucky 
doesn't fumble and Nebraska scores instead of USC, you have a 14-10 game. 
Instead its 21-3.

Taylor did not have a great game against USC. Had he forced the ball it 
could have been disastrous.

One of the transgressions that will forever be thrown into Callahan's face 
is 70-10. Remember it was 21-10 early in the third and Callahan started 
following what you suggested. Come out firing, play to win. The result - 
five turnovers thirty-five points. Had he been patient and run the ball, 
that game never would have happened. Imagine those kinds of mistakes against 
the superior athletes of USC in their house.
