[Husker] The lateral pass

[David Strong]

I guess the thing that bothered me about it so much was that it wasn't just one Tech guy who made a heads up play and kept after the ball.  ALL of the Texas Tech players in the area were going after the ball when the big fella scooped it up.  At the same time, ALL of the Nebraska players gave up on the play and stood around watching. (Lee comes into the picture way late but he stood there for a while too before he got moving.)  NP even accelerated *away* from the ball after he dropped it.
 
So how could their players be so sharp and ours so glaringly...uhh...not sharp?  I expect the head coach will be speaking to his players on this topic early in the week.

That could be the right mechanics, but i saw him throw the bag and stood in disbelief as the guy goes 80 + for the score.
