[Husker] Playcalling

[Aaron Wolfson]

What I meant was, it seemed like none were prepared because none were used,
even though in my opinion there were lots of good situations to try
something unconventional. And I'm not talking about hand-offs to defensive
linemen. Of course, I am not a coach, and they obviously did not feel that a
gadget play would be worth the risk.
