[Husker] Why not try it from 63?

[Mark Landin]

Because if you miss, which even for Henery was the most likely
outcome, they get the ball in great field position. Down by only 3 at
that point, you must still play the field position game. Missing the
FG and then lettng OU get a short TD or even another 3 pts would have
been disastrous.

The "illustrious" coaching staff did the right thing.
