Yeah I couldn't figure out why they kept referring to LSU running it. Why would CU prepare for NU to run it just because LSU had ran it last year. Bo wasn't special teams or offensive coach. You would have to watch a tape of NU to see how they were lined up to run it. 
 
By the way I think the reason that Smith came through unblocked is that the tightend released and I think that Henery was going to throw it to him not run as he had done before. Or maybe he had a run pass option.

Aw, heck, we should have known Alex would make it.  After all, didn't he
star in the movie Facing The Giants, making another impossibly long field goal
to win a state high school championship against unbelievable odds?  Oh well,
had that kind of feeling anyway.  BTW, for those of you who didn't see this
movie, it's worth renting.  Some very good work done in a relatively low
budget film.

The TV guys needed to do a little more homework on the fake FG, kept referring
to the fact that LSU used it last year so naturally CU would expect it from us
this year.  Guys, we used it only a few short weeks ago.  Not like CU
didn't have film of the play in red and white vs. purple and gold....

One thing about this year, NU never left us without heart stopping excitement
(well OU and Mizzou were exceptions but compared to last year, I'll take
it!).  One of the more enjoyable seasons I can remember in the last 45 since I
first became aware of NU football.

If we hit the Gator Bowl, who are we looking at as a likely opponent? 
I've heard Georgia Tech or Miami but not sure how things are playing out in
the ACC.

I just got back from Lincoln, and I have to say that this was one of the most
exciting games in recent memory.

This has already been said by a few other posters, but the fake field goal to
end the first half was just terrible.  As we all know from watching the end of
the game, Alex Henery stood a reasonable chance of booting that 50+ yard field
goal right on through.  I also don't think that we had much of a chance at
gaining the 7 yards needed to secure a 1st down, even if the no-look flip
wasn't picked off.

If Nebraska would have gone into halftime with a 10 point lead after trailing
14-0 to begin the game, I think it would have demoralized the Buffs.  Instead,
the Buffs went into the locker room with a tie and all the momentum in the
world.    This seemed like one of those games that Nebraska was destined to
lose.  We dominated Colorado in almost every offensive category except for the
score.

Right before the field goal attempt, if someone would have told me that
Nebraska was going to win by 9 points, I would have laughed in their face. 
Even with the knowledge of Alex Henery's abilities, I didn't think he
had the leg for a 57-yarder with the game on the line.  That shows what I
know.  I don't think I'll ever forget that kick.  I was 32 rows up
from the field goal posts, and I thought I saw the ball go *under* the
crossbar.  Everyone around me started going crazy, but I thought it was a false
alarm.  When I saw the refs raise their arm on the HuskerVision screen, I
finally joined in the pandomonium!  When Suh interecepted that pass and ran it
back for 6 points, I think I jumped into the next row and started hugging any
random person I could find. It was an absolute blast!

THe game never should have been this close, but a win is a win.  And 8 wins
and a New Years Day bowl is even better than I expected for this year. 
Congrats to Bo on a great first season  (I forgive him for the fake field goal
call!)
