[Husker] don't fall for it

[Smith, William]

Mike, to underscore this observation, I vividly remember the 95 Orange Bowl, at the beginning of fourth quarter Chris Collingsworth smugly saying Nebraska needed to pass more.  "You can't run on these guys" he extolled.

You know, the Husker List started 19 years ago this month, and the
Northwestern list started a bit later but didn't really take off until 
the 1995 season.  

If there's one thing I've seen over all those seasons it is that after 
nearly EVERY loss (and more than a few wins) one of the recurrent topics 
of discussion is: "Why didn't the coaches change the game plan when 
they saw it wasn't working?"

TO and FS got their share of those lament, and Bo will too.

Color analysts like to refer to the matching of wits between the offense
and the defense as a chess match, in actually it is a bit more like a
game of poker, because the other side generally doesn't know what you're 
going to do until you do it.
