[Husker] Revealing OWH Chart

[Tommy Thompson]

Good point...
I'm not saying there weren't big holes on occasion.  I stated that in MOST 
cases, the right call was made.

USC ran the ball 38 times.  Do those 6 photos suggest that the other 32 
times the holes weren't there?  Probably not, but even still, I have a 
problem with stating that those photos indicate bad coaching decisions.

Photo #1 - Obvious hold just to the left of the ball carrier.  Another 
player in position to make the tackle.  Player in the bottom right hand 
corner...why was he clear back there?  Had he already missed the tackle? 
Hard to tell without the entire sequence.

Photo #2 - No argument

Photo #3 - Missed arm tackle.  A player on each side of the stack...ready to 
make the tackle.  What happened next?

Photo #4 - 3 Huskers in the backfield...all of them missed the tackle

Photo #5 - No argument

Photo #6 - No argument.

USC had 68 total plays on offense.  I don't have access to any photography, 
but I imagine someone could come up with six pictures showing how the 
Huskers defense dominated.

Finally, check this article out:
