[Husker] Re: More field goals than TDs?

[Tony Lambert]

it has been said that the loss of  Burke's really hurt the line. I'm 
only going by what the people in the media who follow the team on a 
daily bases have said.

We've seen two guys who didn't even participate in spring drills (Khiry Cooper & Brandon Kinnie) vault ahead of veterans who've been in the program for years.  The lack of production from receivers has forced the program to depend on the running game and challenged the line as defenses stack the box.  Maybe another year of experience (and maybe adding Antonio Bell) might allow the offense to loosen things up.
