[Husker] The team has to see this

I can't say I saw anything particularly interesting in that piece, it's
a pretty typical piece written primarily for the fans of our upcoming
opponent.

Most of what is said about the Huskers in both 2009 and 2010 is pretty
accurate.  I think the jury is still out on whether Martinez is (or will
ever become) a passer to be feared, so I'm less than convinced that he is
a one-dimensional threat, though he wasn't much of a threat at all against
Texas, in large part because of the dropped passes, and also because, frankly,
their defensive game plan was better than our offensive game plan.  

However, I think their offensive game plan was not significantly better than
our defensive game plan, at least after the first quarter, especially 
since we gave them 7 points on turnovers.  But I also thought going in 
that the Texas offense was better than the pollsters had given it credit.  

Is this a game OSU can win?  Sure, pretty much they all are, as Nebraska
proved against Iowa State last year when they played REALLY poorly.
