[Husker] Ouch!

[David Elfering]

Fair enough maybe I didn't give the article a fair shake.

With regard to Osborne the reference it was to the 88-93 time frame
when I think someone could easily have drawn similar comparisons.

But it still surprised me anti when I looked at this years stats and
the fall off after the KSU game. It's like the offense hit a wall and
never came back.
