[Husker] Where is the defense?

[todd strong]

Listen to all you posters who say Oz had "bad" season prior to becoming 
dominant. Bull ****
The teams Oz. lost to for many years, the only teams, were the eventual 
National Champs. He NEVER lost to a team he was supposed to beat, (I know 
ISU in '92) but you get my point. It's not the same thing my friends. And we 
knew Oz and what he stood for. With BC, who knows?
