[Husker] Offense? (Payback)

[Mark Landin]

The first game you cite was texas tech. The texas game hinged on a
late fumble by terrence nunn late in the 4th when a 1st down wins the
game. The second game you cite was not that we changed defenses, but
that texas finally made us pay for our run blitzing we had been using
all day.
