Totally agree with these points, and don't think any contradict each 
other.  It was great to see the Cornhusker defense get some props, 
and I was really disappointed to see McCoy knocked out of the game. 
I was surprised to see how much interest in seeing Texas do well I 
developed after this setback.

Regarding McCoy on the sideline, is it possible he was on some sort 
of sedative or pain relief medication as a result of the injury? 
If so, this could certainly have affected his energy level.
