[Husker] McCoy leadership

[Shawn Sherlock]

I was very disappointed in last nights game. But it really showed me  
that ingram should not have been the heisman winner. You put the  
backup of the other four players in the game and things change. But  
you put in ingram's and he puts up 100+ yards on 19 carries against a  
very good defense. One of the things that lost it for TF in 95 was the  
solid play of BB (IMO). Yes weren't the same when TF was out but BB  
directed that offense quite well (could the same be said of EG & OSU  
in 95?). Replace any of the other four and each of those teams do not  
win as many games in 2009.
