You mean he didn't scream "Cheater!" at Bobby Bowden? ;-)

> I agree to put the second back on the clock was correct.  Does anyone remember a time when it went in NU's favor?  Say like the Orange Bowl against FSU when NU made a first down on the play right before the field goal attempt but the timekeeper let the clock run out?  FSU was celebrating and TO never changed expression, just pointed out to the officials that the game clock stops on a first down and oh, by the way, we'd like a time out to stop the clock so we can get our FG team on the field.  That the kick was missed badly was not good, but at least they got the chance to try for the FG that would have given TO his first MNC!  What goes around comes around and someday soon, it will come around against UT as well.

This was easily the greatest defensive performance I've ever seen from any team at any level.  While Nebraska got a field goal after each Texas turnover, Texas got 0 points off the 3 Nebraska turnovers .

Don't forget the int thrown after starting at the Texas 37 - wouldn't a FG have been nice instead?
