[Husker] 105 plays (was: Oklahoma loses to Colorado!)

[Mike Jaixen]

There were three quick turnovers that put the
Blackshirts back on the field quickly in the first
half.  However, that still doesn't explain a 17 play
97 yard drive in the fourth quarter.  (Third straight
week with a 95+ yard drive against the Blackshirts I
might add...)

I would argue that Grixby played like an MVP in the
2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters.  Why not the first
quarter?  He didn't play; has anybody heard why?  I'm
assuming that he was suspended for the first quarter
for disciplinary reasons, as his kickoff returns, 2
interceptions, and pass deflection to Ruud for his 93
yard interception return were the difference between a
Husker win and a Husker loss today.
