[Husker] don't fall for it

[Tommy Thompson]

Exactly what I was thinking.  I remember before the game in OU-NU 1987 
(dubbed Game of the Century II).  Oklahoma's QB, Jamelle Holieway, was hurt, 
and Charles Thompson became the starter.  Switzer and Osborne were 
interviewed together on television (although not actually in the same room). 
Switzer made the comment that, since his starter was out, Osborne should 
bench Steve Taylor to make things fair.  Osborne was a bit flummoxed, and he 
stammered something about Thompson being a pretty good QB, too.  Needless to 
say, Switzer got into his head a bit, and it showed on game day.  Taylor had 
one of his worst performances as a Husker and, although the score was only 
17-7, #2 OU totally dominated #1 Nebraska.

I truly think that is what Mack Brown is attempting to do.  Hopefully, Bo 
keeps his head, and he ensures the players come out ready to play.
