[Husker] Surprised; not surprised

[Andrew Smith]

  I wasn't surprised that Texas shut down Nebraska's running game.  As 
I'd pointed out, Texas' rushing defense is #19 (and actually better if 
you look at average yards/rush).  Martinez's speed is exciting, but all 
the speed in the world doesn't help if there isn't a hole to run 
through.  I was surprised that having the run shutdown didn't lead to 
interceptions.  I was often surprised at how open Nebraska receivers 
were at times (especially with Texas' #8 pass defense).  And with the 
wind and both teams having top passing defenses, I thought there would 
be some ints by both sides.

Nor was I surprised that Texas got some key runs against Nebraska.  
Being 57th in rush defense after a soft opening schedule showed this 
defense to be well below last years.

The biggest surprise and disappointment were the dropped passes.  
Without those (and the 1 lost fumble), Nebraska wins.  Getting beat is 
hard, but in beating yourself is harder.

I still think Nebraska has a good team and a decent chance to win the 
rest of their games.  Let's hope this loss get's them to focus and play 
to their potential the rest of the year.

Go Big Red!
