[Husker] Explanation of some plays

[Mike Jaixen]

Suh Touchdown reception

Nebraska got the ball first and goal on the three yard line, and inserted Suh in at fullback in a power formation.  On first down, Suh pushed his man completely out of the way, but others filled the hole and Roy Helu was stuffed.  On second down, Joe Ganz rolled out on play action, and Suh was wide open having faked and rolled outside as well.  Nice soft pass into the big man.

Lucky touchdown pass

Think Tim Tebow two years ago when he'd come in at times for Chris Leak.  Lucky took the direct snap, then took two steps in as if he was running a quarterback draw.  Except he jumped and make a basketball move to flip the ball to Mike McNeill.  It really looked more like a layup attempt that was scripted by Doc Sadler.

Brooks touchdown
The Journal-Star talked to Brooks about the play.

Brooks streaked over the middle and made a nice catch at the goal line.  He's been seeing a little more time on the field due to Holt's injury.
