If you want to make the claim claim that Virginia Tech dominated 
Nebraska and also claim that the score made the game seem closer than it 
seemed, then please show us why that is the case.  The facts of the game 
don't back up those assertions.  Simply saying, "the Hokies were 
knocking Huskers down and around" doesn't back up your premise either.

I never said that stats win games, so I'm not sure what point you were 
trying to make with that statement.  However, if you want to analyze how 
close this game was, while accepting that it was a loss for Nebraska, 
then looking at the statistics is about the best way to go about that.
