[Husker] The VaTech game was a lot like the 1996 ASU game

[Brad Roth]

I too have to disagree as well.  I remember getting physically sick over the ASU game in '96.  
This one felt bad, but not quite like that.

That said, perhaps to stir the pot a bit more, at the time, I was thinking we should punt on 4th and 1 during our last possession, but now I'm thinking that we should have gone for it - QB sneak/Helu counter?  Hindsight being 20-20, it now seems like less of a roll of the dice than what actually happened.

Scott, 
 
How do you figure it was a "gross mental lapse?"  How do you know what Matt was thinking and why? 
 
I'm sorry, I just don't think a mental error or miscue on one play caused us to lose the game. It caused the score to shift which resulted in our loss --- BUT, allowing the runback on the initial kickoff, not getting into the endzone and settling for 5 field goals, not getting a first down to keep the ball out of VT's hands at the end of the game, they all contributed to our loss --- and many included mental errors ------- including ones by the coaches!
