I thought about this a lot as well, that perhaps a shorter field would have made it slightly easier to defend Taylor if the Huskers failed to convert the 4th down, but then again VT would have only needed to get about 25 yards or so to be in FG range.

20/20.

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!
