[Husker] References to the Huskers during Texas Alabama game

[Andrew Smith]

Based on the Nebraska-Texas and Alabama-Texas games, it's clear to me 
that Nebraska's defense is better.  Alabama gave up 15 points to a 
freshman QB in one half while Nebraska gave up 13 points to McCoy 
through an entire game. 

Go Big Red!
