[Husker] Horse Collar Tackle

[Greg Zimmerman]

I'm going to have to ga back and look at the recording, too. In the heat 
of the moment it seemed as though Asante pulled him down by grabbing a 
handful of the back of his jersey, not by the collar. I'll reserve the 
right to change my mind, though.

In any event, the Huskers completed the sweep of the 3 "local"  Kansas 
City teams so order has at least been temporarily restored on that front 
making my life a little bit more enjoyable. :-)
